Incredible Hulk #6 Review by (November 26, 2018)

Review: Any story with a bomb ticking down is by its very nature suspenseful. And so it is. But we have so much more this time: Hulk punches out Doctor Doom, Banner tries a wide variety of weapons on Hulk and none are effective, and Amanda von Doom, despite her denials, is related to the bad Doctor after all. And the story ends literally with a bang, leaving us curious as to what a second gamma bomb would do to Hulk. Turn him greener? We'll see.

Comments: Colors are credited to Arif Prianto and Sakti Yuwono. Bruce Banner's last words are “Tell Betty I....”
