This is the Bruce Banner I want to see! Mark Waid and Leinil Francis Yu start a bold new chapter for the genius and his monstrous alter ego in Indestructible Hulk #1 out this week.
In the premiere you could say Bruce auditions for a job with SHIELD. This works as a great stand-alone story packed with action and humor while setting you up for a future adventures of Banner and the Green Goliath. There is a sense of Bruce finally accepting the monster within and using it.
Mark Waid’s great talent for dialogue, humor and ability to poke fun at his characters shines in this issue. I really look forward to seeing this new Bruce interact with Maria Hill and use the Hulk to forge the smartest, strongest SHIELD agent there is. This issue shines on its one but reminded me of the Peter David era when Bruce ran the Pantheon – and made me smile.
Indestructible Hulk #1 is great fun and has smashed its way up near the top of my favorite Marvel Now relaunch titles.
