Indestructible Hulk (Marvel NOW!)

review 1: As this title transitions from an introduction of its premise to actively engaging its characters, there's going to be some good and some bad. Banner's assistants are given little to nothing of importance to do other than to be scene dressing. One of the female scientists disease B-plot was a throwaway and while interaction with other Marvel Universe superheroes is desirable, nothing about Thor's appearance stood out. Daredevil's appearance was standard fare action-wise, but his position within the ongoing plot was a great twist.
review 2: I almost can't believe how much I enjoyed this book. Sure, I liked the first volume, but I would say that this one was even better. I loved the Thor team-up in the first few issues, especially since it was a younger Thor who ... morehadn't met Banner yet. Props to Waid for avoiding the "heroes fight as soon as they meet because nobody can have a conversation" trope. This is a young Thor, and he's enjoying himself and his new friends immensely. I actually liked the Daredevil storyline even better, though. Another big surprise to me, because I've never read much Daredevil. But he and Hulk work together wonderfully, and it's nice to see. In my review for the last volume, I had said that the threat level for Hulk was kind of underwhelming. Between frost giants and a weapon that could do more than slightly irritate Hulk, that threat level gets dialed up just enough to make things interesting. Quite an improvement. less
