INDESTRUCTIBLE HULK #2
by Mark Waid and Lenil Yu
OK, on the ad for this issue a few months ago, it said "Hulk and Iron Man are friends... But Banner and Stark are anything but!" That's probably one of the most embarrassing typos on Earth.
First off, Waid and Yu make a better team than Iron Man and Hulk. Waid brings his signature wit and banter to the table, while playing off on the characters' popularity and personalities from the Avengers. Iron Man makes a great addition to Hulk's supporting characters, and I would like to see more of him interacting with Hulk. Now, this is a VERY humorous book. If you're expecting something akin to Bruce Jones or Jason Aaron's runs, you're looking in the wrong place. There is a very funny scene in the beginning involving Stark and Banner having a bit of fun with SCIENCE.
Lenil Yu is one hell of an artist, despite the tiny gripes I have with him (sometimes drawing characters from odd or annoyingly slanted angles). Yu displays an excellent amount of skill here, by cramming the fight scenes with big detail without ever feeling cramped.
Indestructible Hulk is the best book to come out of Marvel NOW! It's going to be real fun seeing where this book will go next.
STORY: 5/5
ART: 4.5/5
VERDICT: 4.5/5
