Indestructible Hulk, Vol. 4: Humanity Bomb by Mark Waid
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Haha, apparently Beast, Iron Man, and Hank Pym don’t respect Bruce Banner as a scientist.
Why everyone is so fucking stupid as to piss off Bruce Banner, I do not know. When has that ever ended well?
Anyway, there’s a very weird and sick part of me that liked watching these eggheads show up, talk down to Banner, and get their asses kicked. I didn’t mind it, certainly. They were being total dicks! They deserved some smashing. It’s like if you had a college professor who was needlessly dismissive of your thesis, and then you hulked out and squished his car into a cube. Nothing feels bad about that!
I guess this is the end of the Indestructible Hulk series. I’m sad to see it go. It was a good idea. It was destined to fail, using the Hulk as a WMD, but it was an interesting plan considering that they seem totally incapable of curing or killing Banner/Hulk.
I know it didn’t work out on Plant Hulk, but…well, they were trying to shoot him off to some friendly planet. I think they should give that one another try. It almost worked. It DID work, sort of, but I feel like shooting him into space is still a pretty good idea. Probably because I think that’s the solution to everything. “This stupid sofa. If only I could shoot it into space somehow…”
