A terrigen mist cloud is causing terregenesis to any person with Inhuman dna. Tony Stark and Hank Pym are on the case utilizing Bruce Banner's lab. That didn't go over well. Bruce comes up with his own plan and when his plan is dismissed before he even explains it, he Hulks out.Rather than treating Banner like a colleague to be consulted Tony Stark treats him like a dim intern who thinks he knows something.It leads to a lot of issues. This Inhumanity tie in is at least the best one I've read so

The Hulk vs Iron Man, Ant-Man and Beast. The Science Bros of Marvel have a spat! Part of me was thinking "wait, these guys are friends, right?" but with Marvel Team ups/versus, it's best to just go along with it and enjoy the ride. This is the first book I've read were the tie-in to Inhumanity has actually been close to interesting. That was partly down to Banner trying to understand the science behind it. And by science, I mean hooky made up Marvel 'makes no sense' kind of science. Art work was...

The majority of this arc hinges on the fact that Iron Man is a douchebag, and considering that's usually a fair assessment, it's still a pain in the butt when you're reading this volume to see that his arrogance is the driving story point. If he and the other super-geniuses gave Banner two seconds to speak instead of just jumping to conclusions, this arc would turn out completely differently, and that's a nagging point throughout. The evolution of the arc beyond that is a nice take on the Inhuma...

Hey look, it's a crossover event featuring an idiot story matched with Banner-Moron. No. I'm not talking about the Hulk.How did such an iconic smart-man behave so recklessly, so idiotically, so short-sightedly?I blame the author. Or I blame the necessity to cram some sort of conflict-resolution shit into a a crossover event that either needed a MUCH BETTER SETUP, or MUCH BETTER character development. And since we got neither, AND Brucy-boy got shitcanned, fired, blasted away, and is now WITHOUT

***Green Theme Buddy Reads, with my Shallow homies. If I have to explain how this fits, you are what Professor HULK (ie. Jeff) would call an 'asshat'*** I took this out of the library months ago, but Vol. 3 had yet to be ordered...luckily, the Digital Copy in every Marvel Hardcover allows you to get a copy online thru Marvel.com...and then read in Comixology. So this was my first full volume on Comixology, and my first read on my iPad! YAY! No paper cuts! And when I dropped it in the tub, I o...

In this story Bruce Banner is engaged in a rivalry with the other great scientists and engineers that are super heroes. There is an undercurrent of hostility between Banner, Tony Stark, Hank Pym, Hank McCoy and Reed Richards. In keeping with Banner’s Hulk alter ego, Banner uses the fact that he can change into a raging, powerful creature to engage in a great deal of figurative strong arm tactics to get what he wants. There are scientists with dubious moral codes (put politely), S. H. I. E. L.

NERD FIGHT!!!!Dr. Bruce Banner is really trying to give this scientist thing a go. He has a deal with S.H.I.E.LD. – they let him invent stuff that will benefit mankind and he will let them toss the Hulk into untenable situations. The problem is lately he’s one step behind all the other nerd boy scientists in the Marvel universe. Enter Tony Stark. Condescending, bullying asshat, Tony Stark. “Bruce you have 48 hours to build a device that will save the Earth, blah, blah, blah, but we’ll be back in...

Tony Stark makes a couple appearances and he continues to be a dick to Bruce. There's an Inhumanity tie-in here that's terribly explained. If you didn't know the larger scope of the Marvel universe at the time, you'd have no idea what was happening. The book ends on a cliffhanger and the book ends so that Marvel can sell another Hulk #1. marvel makes their books so impossible to follow that there is a reading order guide in the front and back covers. There's got to be a less confusing way than w...

In this volume, Bruce Banner invents a potential solution to the problem of the Terrigen mists. Tony Stark, Hank McCoy, and Hank Pym give him a hard time about it, which goes about as well as you’d expect …We also get a standalone story from the Indestructible Hulk Annual, with Iron Man and the Hulk investigating an island inhabited by a figure from their mutual past. This was fun, but nothing special. Even less than an hour after reading it, the stories are already fading. My strongest memories...

Not the best of Waid's Hulk. The Inhumanity tie in isn't terrible, and there's an actual attempt to put some actual human emotion in the center. Rarer than it should be when it comes to event books, so that was nice to see. But it just isn't fun for me to read a book where the majority of the characters are being asses and yelling at each other half the time, especially if they aren't yelling at each other in amusing ways. The ending is meant to be a twist, but it just didn't feel convincing to

Reprints Indestructible Hulk #16-20 and Annual #1 (January 2014-May 2014). Terrigen Mist has enveloped the Earth and is transforming people with dormant genes into Inhumans. Banner and his team are in a race against time to stop the Terrigen Mist, but someone in Banner’s team could discover that the Terrigen Mist could change them forever. Plus, Tony Stark and Bruce Banner seek out a man tied to their past who has taken his scientific exploration to a dangerous level.Written by Mark Waid (with J...

Ugh.Inhumans ruin everything good.

***Green Them Buddy Read! Last one goes to Hulk again!***This volume was SUPERB to me. A lot of it had to do with the interns. When Bruce Hulk's out, they stay on as his humanity. And I loved them for everything they did, for Hulk and each other. Okay, so yeah, Stark and Banner have a bit of an ego-fest/competition going on in this one. But when is that ever NOT the case with those two? But if I were Bruce, and my buddies didn't even ask about my awesome invention and instead assumed I was out t...

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... bor...

Waid ends this run of the Hulk with a bang but the majority of the story was just okay. The Inhumanity tie-in was subpar. I really enjoyed the Annual and the art throughout. Banner's ego was such an annoyance in this entire volume it was hard to root for the guy. Overall, an average book that might lead to something interesting.

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...

Mark Waid continues a pretty good run on the Hulk series for the new Marvel Now. This next volume was a little weaker to me than the last one even though I am enjoying the link between Tony Stark and Bruce Banner's history. They both seem to have egos bigger than the Grand Canyon. The artwork is a little weak in a few issues especially the drawing of Beast. I am enjoying the plot of Bruce willingly joining shield and I definitely gasp when I saw Bruce get shot. I guest we will have to wait and s...

I usually like Mark Waid as a writer, so it's taken me some time to realize I just don't like this. His Hulk really is an unthinking animal, which he's never actually been.This is a throw-away story where Bruce Banner tries to come up with a solution to the Terrigen cloud released over in Infinity. We know he won't, but at least he tries. The Beast, Ant-Man, and Iron Man are there doubting his ability and undermining his confidence, and of course it all ends in a big fight.The main storyline end...

I don't know if this was part of the tie in, or maybe the title was running out of steam at this point, but this really didn't do it for me. I'm a big fan of Mark Waid and I feel he for the most part, always turns out some really good superhero tales. But this time, the story felt fragmented and unevenly paced, which made the relatively short volume a slog to get through. Beast and Iron show up in this one, and of course Tony immediately goes off when he see's that Bruce has been building a bomb...

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.
