Synopsis

Hulk / Wolverine: 6 Hours #2 synopsis by Peter Silvestro
Rating: 4 stars

Gangster Harry Gavino is playing golf with friends when he gets a call about the murdered drug dealer and the theft of the cocaine by Whitie and Sid. He orders his minion to call in the Shredder….

Bruce Banner wakes up in the river near the crashed plane. He sees no one else around and a few minutes later the plane explodes….

Not far away, Whitie and Sid are holding Margie White and the gravely ill Kyle Hatcher; They consider killing Margie and Kyle but she knows her way out of the woods and they don’t and she refuses to cooperate if Kyle is harmed. The baddies call their contact at Lake Vague to tell him they will be a little late and demand that Margie lead them there….

Shredder is summoned, a weirdo with a grotesquely enlarged right arm with outsized claws at the end; he finishes up something gruesome he was doing and sets out for the Mountains….

Bruce Banner dresses himself in clothes found in luggage (presumably one of the bad guys’ as Kyle seems too small and the passenger whose luggage Bruce stole was a much fatter man) and looks up to discover a mountain lion about to pounce on him—then suddenly, Wolverine arrives on his motorcycle, knocking the lion out of the air. He then chases the lion off and sees to Banner; Logan had seen the smoke from the downed plane and raced over. An angry Bruce punches out Logan allowing him to calm down; Bruce fills him in on the situation….

The bad guys tell Margie to lead them to Lake Vague, not Mistassini, the original destination as the city has a bigger hospital but also a larger police force….

At home Kyle’s panicked mother screams at the maid who moved around Kyle’s snakes, leading to a dangerous bite; her husband, Kyle’s stepfather, comforts her with the knowledge that there are more than two hours left for the boy to get the life-saving treatment….

At Logan’s cabin, Bruce tries to jury-rig Logan’s viper anti-venom into something that would work on a bite from a coral snake. Wolverine knows by the smell that the crooks are carrying cocaine and assumes they will be heading to Lake Vague….

Shredder reaches the crooks’ contact in his cabin; he demands to know where they bad guys were calling him from. The fellow answers as best he can and Shredder kills him….

The baddies discover an elderly couple with a camper; they take the camper and leave the old couple behind. Shredder, who knows Logan is on his trail, comes across the old couple and, learning that the two crooks have taken their RV, he kills them….

Margie injects Whitie with a drug while he is driving and the RV runs off the road….

Bruce and Logan come across the dead couple and Logan recognizes his enemy by his smell and his work….

And there is less than an hour and a half to Kyle’s deadline….

Hulk / Wolverine: 6 Hours #2 Review by (February 9, 2022)

Review: Well, there’s a goofy cover that does not fit the tense mood of the story; it is also misleading as Hulk does not appear in the issue. He doesn’t? But he’s on the cover and has top billing in the title! Well, comics lie sometimes. Deal with it. So what of the Hulkless adventure? Again, the situation of the race against time to save the boy’s life easily propels the story along and the two bad guys are the factors working against that goal. Hulk is absent and Wolverine is a bit of a wild card since he doesn’t show up until later in the story. So for several pages we have Margie and Kyle at the mercy of the villains, which makes for decent suspense. And there’s an even scarier bad guy on the way.  More on this later. The only flaw in the issue is Logan coming upon Bruce Banner so quickly, making it seem like the Canadian wilderness is only the size of your average baseball stadium.

Comments: Hulk does not appear in this issue.
