Indestructible Hulk (Marvel NOW!)
review 1: I do not think that artist Leinel Francis Yu is a a very good storyteller, though he does create some striking images, and that hurts the quality of this graphic collection. I liked the first three stories in spite of this because of the fresh take on an old character supplied by Mark Waid and simple fun on the Hulk's new situation. The final stories left me cold, however, cold enough that shall not pursue the next collection of stories by these creators.
review 2: The Marvel NOW! Hulk book is titled Indestructible Hulk, and it is a great new status quo for the character. The 3 main premises of the character are:* Hulk Smashes, Banner builds: being one of the smartest characters in the Marvel universe, Bruce Banner is set to create world changing/Nobel price wo
... morerthy technological advances as a way to compensate all the destruction the Hulk causes.* Banner has accepted that the Hulk is an chronic condition that must be managed, just as diabetes, cancer, or multiple sclerosis (his words).* Hulk should no longer be seen as a bomb set to explode at any time, but as a cannon that can be directed.To accomplish the above, Banner offers his services as The Hulk to S.H.I.E.L.D. in exchange for an equipped lab, access to the latest research and technology, and a team of researchers to work for him.The premise is amazing, the delivery is not as great. We don't get to see much of the "Banner builds" side of the equation, and the Iron Man encounter seems to fulfill no role other than give the fans a battle to talk about. However, I did enjoy the book and am reading volumes 2 and 3 with the expectation that the writers can do more with such a good character state. less

Loads of fun and packed with Waid's patented ability to mix action and character.

This was ok. The story was good but I'm not a big fan of the art.
