Something strange turning you into the Hulk? Who you gonna call? Tony Stark. Bruce Banner seeks out Tony Stark to help him control the Hulk impulses that he is struggling to keep from taking over his body. As Tony sips his martini, Bruce pleads with him to help control the monster within.
Warren Ellis crafts a great beginning to a 4 part story arc about Ultimate Hulk. As Tony and Bruce begin to take steps to curb the Hulk impulses, the big brained Leader is devising his own plan. The story takes off and I found it very interesting. Wait till you see how Tony brings out the Hulk in Bruce Banner. Very cool! I’m sold on this story from the first issue, so the ending had better be good, because I am going to buy all four issues. We’ll see how this turns out.
Cary Nord does the artwork on this issue. His style is a bit artsy for me, but he did get the facial expressions across, and it is packed full of emotion, cool Hulk rampaging scenes, and lots of detail. Even though this wasn’t my favorite style of artwork, I enjoyed it.
I liked this book, and look forward to the rest of the arc. The Hulk delivers his line in the last panel with great anger, and left me anticipating the next issue. His dialog says, “It time for HULK’S bug-crushing game now. Who’s first?” Gotta love it!
