The Incredible Hulk #111
Warbound – Part VI
Greg Pak & Jeff Parker – Writer
Leonard Kirk – Artist
Paguluayan, Huet and McCaig – Cover Artist
Synopsis:
As World War Hulk rages throughout New York City, the Renegades – Amadaus Cho, Hercules, Angel, Namora – scramble to save the city from the continued threat of Zom.
After the defeat of the Zom-possessed Dr. Strange by the Hulk, the Renegades team up with Strange’s right hand man, Wong, who is chasing after Zom’s now free spirit. They find the spirit residing in Iron Man’s Hulkbuster Armor.
As World War Hulk continues to explode around them – the Hulk and the Sentry fly by in the heat of battle, Amadaus Cho directs the team to corner the beast and outsmarts him allowing Wong to trap him in the Amphora. “It’s been ensorcelled to retrieve Zom’s spirit,” ensures Wong.
The story ends with Hercules consoling Cho after they witness the horrifying end to World War Hulk.
Review:
While it is interesting to see what was going during the events of World War Hulk, it is increasingly disappointing to have an issue of the Incredible Hulk without the Hulk actually starring within. That being said, Cho and the Renegades are an engaging bunch, only the Angel seems out of place. The interaction between Hercules and Cho, and later Hercules and Namora, are well played. Given that the next issue is called “The Incredible Herc” is indication this will continue on for the time being. I’m not sure how I feel about this. Hercules hasn’t been a favorite of mine over the years and none of the Hulk’s tried and true supporting characters are around. It feels – odd.
The artwork by Leonard Kirk is strong and solid. Some pages work much better than others. When he is characterizing Hercules and Namora together as they struggle to keep Manhattan from collapsing, the pencils truly shine. Oddly, whenever the Hulk appears, they pages feel rushed.
