Hulk #16

Review: The cover is symbolic as the Maestro doesn't really appear but it's his frightening potential that has motivated everything Doc Green has done in the twelve-issue “Omega Hulk” storyline. The epic is wrapped up in a bittersweet fashion, with a touching regret from Doc Green, similar to the Tenth Doctor's “I don't want to go.” And there's a farewell to Jen, and a surprisingly goofy romantic moment with Betty and that classic final line. And even then the Lyra story goes all-out for farce even though we weren't particularly worried about her. Very nice ending to a very nice volume.

Comments: Final issue of the series, leading into the SECRET WARS event. Doc compares Bruce and Betty to “Sid and Nancy,” the star-crossed punk rock lovers Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen. Final appearances of Daman Veteri and Randall Jessup as of 2019. Lyra is shown to be back with her mother Thundra in SQUADRON SUPREME (2015 series) #15.
