    Banners A New Man !

    The Much awaited series of the Indestructible Hulk is finely here, and let me be the first to say, this met each and every one of my expectations to it's fullest. mark Waid had promised us a new and improved Bruce Banner , and boy did he deliver. The writing is top Notch, in fact, it's excellent. Mark Waid did something i wanted to be done for a long time, We finely put a cap in the whole "Banner is looking for a cure " stick, he is continuing Paks efforts of making banner less of a milksop and more of a warrior. Mark Waid gives banner a more confident personality, We see that banner finely has goals for his future, he wants to leave a mark on the world with his intelligence , and Unlike before, he is going to Tell hulk what needs to be smashed. reed Richards , tony stark, hank pym will be remembered as the smartest people on the planet , but NOW IT'S BANNERS TIME TO SHINE! In the very first issue, we see exactly what Waid wants to do, he wants to turn hulk into a cannon or a UMD rather than A time bomb. There is also bit of Humor in the book, There is a scene that made me laugh immensely. Also waid manages to do something i'd like to call " the candy trail trick", this is when a writer plants an element in the book that makes you want to get more. In this case, waid makes up a mystery on who is the man that banner uses as "insurance" against shield. Another Thing that's fantastic about This issue is the art ! Yu does a wonderful job, form page to page seeing his art feel like eating candy. The faces, the character designs , and most importantly the awesome fight scenes and movements are both amazing and exciting. And Unlike most artist, Leinil depicts every character in the book awesomely, while Others make a quick sketches on background characters and focus more on Main ones. Yu's art is only made better with the spectacular Coloring, Hulk looks as green as ever, and the close up shades are awesomely executed. This is definitely an awesome take on the Hulk and i cannot wait for the second issue to come out.

    The Plot is very interesting as well, Maria Hill Is in a cafe somewhere in Manchester Alabama, Searching for the hulk. while talking to Coulson , they review that last few Disasters that have occurred, But none of them had been caused by Banner. The Hulk has been missing since The Avengers Vs X-men war, and the whole world is on edge. While all of a sudden maria is Visited by someone She had least expected....Bruce Banner! Maria is Both stunned and scared that a huge time bomb is sitting right in front of her. Banners visit in this case was not a coincidence, He explained that he is no longer Mopey teenager, he is one of the smartest people on the planet, so when he thinks big things happen. He gives maria a proposition to get recruited as a shield agent, because he will provide both physical and Intellectual force. To prove himself Hulk later beat and helped captured Mad Tinker.

    This was a great start, both for hulk and non-hulk fans, so i would definitely advise you to pick this up.

    Score : 5/5

    Recommendation: GET THIS NOW !!!!

      This is the Marvel NOW! series I have been most looking forward to. There is a number of reasons I have been most looking forward to this series but the main reason is due to the previous Incredible Hulk series being so bad, and wanting to see a good Hulk series once more. Another thing that I was looking forward to was seeing how Mark Waid handled the character as he's turned the Daredevil character into one of Marvel's best new series (at the time) with Daredevil.PlotThis issue sees Bruce Bann...

      COVER ART: 5/5 What I love this about this cover is EVERYTHING! The pencil job by LEINIL YU is very good but I really love the color job by SUNNY GHO! STORY ARC: 5/5 I would not have even looked at this issue were it not for @theacidskull, @theincrediblesuperhulk8642, and even @johnkmccubbin91 who is a big MARK WAID fan. Up to this point, I have been LESS than impressed with Mark Waid's work. This issue has possibly changed my viewpoint of Mr. Waid. My whole issue with the Hulk up to this point...
