Well, I really liked the whole Hulk Agent of Shield angle when this series started but this went right off the rails for me.

Why would Stark antagonise Banner when he has built a bomb? Especially as Stark did much the same thing in issue 2? Why allow a bomb to explode in a populated area when a similar event triggered Civil War?

These are stupid actions from supposedly some of the smartest people on the planet.

Unbelievably annoying.

This wasn't great.

Not only was the formatting a little weird but I was bored out of my skull. That usually happens with stories about terigenisis. I do like that Bruce is snarky and I really liked that Jessup guy but that's it. A lot of people read this and somehow thought Tony was a dick? In this book, the only things he does is try to keep Hulk calm around a bomb, try to calm Hulk down and then try to turn Bruce into the Hulk when they need it. When was he a dick?

Anyway, this was just... boring and the art wasn't that enjoyable for me to look at either. Different strokes for different folks but I don't have any incentive to read the other parts of this series.

Haha, apparently Beast, Iron Man, and Hank Pym don't respect Bruce Banner as a scientist.

Why everyone is so fucking stupid as to piss off Bruce Banner, I do not know. When has that ever ended well?

Anyway, there's a very weird and sick part of me that liked watching these eggheads show up, talk down to Banner, and get their asses kicked. I didn't mind it, certainly. They were being total dicks! They deserved some smashing. It's like if you had a college professor who was needlessly dismissive of your thesis, and then you hulked out and squished his car into a cube. Nothing feels bad about that!

I guess this is the end of the Indestructible Hulk series. I'm sad to see it go. It was a good idea. It was destined to fail, using the Hulk as a WMD, but it was an interesting plan considering that they seem totally incapable of curing or killing Banner/Hulk.

I know it didn't work out on Plant Hulk, but...well, they were trying to shoot him off to some friendly planet. I think they should give that one another try. It almost worked. It DID work, sort of, but I feel like shooting him into space is still a pretty good idea. Probably because I think that's the solution to everything. "This stupid sofa. If only I could shoot it into space somehow..."

Another good book, this one also with Tony Stark. Clever and interesting and still with Hulk smashing appropriately. The back-stories of Banner's assistance could get a little more time - the pushed Jessup's background a little and it came out somewhat incoherent, certainly more confused than it needed to be.

Really not much to say here except fail. Humor makes an appearance with the story line of banner desperate to make a mark as a scientist before Reed Richards or Tony Stark take his great ideas. Beast and Iron Man make an appearance trying to keep Hulk in check, but it's all pretty forgettable.
