Holy...

If i didn't say Bruce Jones could pen a movie script with the best of them in Hollywood, i would be lying through my teeth!...the Banner conspiracy deepens in this Volume bringing forth possibilities not many reader would have thought of..new readers picking up this volume without reading volumes 1 and 2 will be totally lost and muddled in the Huge storyarc which is by far one of the best plots in modern day comics...up to date.

I have been following Jones entire run on the series and knew his inventiveness of creating plot devices but he truly drops some magic cards here and does sleight of hand tricks...its as good as a movie , if not better with clues riddled throughout...this is by far the best of the bunch, i cannot wait for more...Bruce Jones is GOD.

With the regular changing of artists on this title and this long story arc, the only thing that remains common throughout is the inking and colors by studio f and co..which are needed to give a true impact of a cinematic quality and are the best in the business with everything taking a green color tone.

Stuart Immonen's artwork here is sexy..to say the least. thats the best i can describe it. his artwork is the strongest of the current series along with Mike Deodato's work...while the newer artists dont have the veteran hand of John Romita's pencils,they give the same justice that Bruce Jones incredibly story deserves. Immonen draws action scenes with a John Woo style and is somewhat remincent of Eduardo Risso's acclaimed work on 100 Bullets.

this story arc gets better and better...pick up vols 1 and 2...and get this;....Jones run should be in every comic readers shelf...

highly recommended

After escaping a trap laid by the conspiracy that's out to get him, Bruce Banner is framed for murder after a case of mistaken identity and being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Even worse, an old enemy from the past is zeroing in on bruce, but so is an old ally. The dark artwork in this book is really great, and the storyline's got some awsome twists. This is a great comic for any Hulk fan.

Immomen is definitely a good choice for rotting reintegrating live vampire agent types, I will give them that. For a Hulk story, this is weird. A fugitive, paranoid, conspiratorial espionage story on the run, rather than Hulk smash monsters, or Hulk on weird planets, dimensions, gamma ray blasting and all that. No military, hulkbusters, or other associated things to be seen.

Reprinting Incredible Hulk (current volume; late 90s-present) #s 44-49 and continuing the extended story arc that began back in Incredible Hulk # 34 (and reprinted in the Trade Paperbacks "Incredible Hulk: Return Of The Monster" and "Incredible Hulk: Boiling Point", the third volume of this, one of the definitive Hulk sagas of all time, shows no sign at all of letting up. By this point in the story there's only so much one can say in a review: it's like doing a writeup on a specific section of a novel that occurs some way in.

It can be said that the writing, art and characterization are every bit as outstanding as in the previous two volumes of the story. It can be said that new characters are introduced who I think many readers will, like myself, immediately start hoping become longtime members of the Hulk cast. It can be said that even as plotlines and mysteries start to coalesce into identifiable points, the story loses not a shred of its awe and its grandeur. And it can be said that there are some mammoth confrontations and one of the tensest 'stand-off' scenes in comics history.

I can't recommend this entire saga enough; tremendous on all front.

This latest volume is fitting with what we have seen Bruce Jones produce. You've got a great story with some really good turns within. The art is still of good quality. I hope they can keep it going.
