Synopsis

Incredible Hulk #16 synopsis by Peter Silvestro
Rating: 4 stars

3600 years ago, Enkidu, the proto-Hulk, arrived in Nineveh and encountered a massive giant slave driver. Enkidu beats the much larger monster to death and frees the slaves. He enters the temple where the Child-God Eldest reigns. She asks about the green fire in his flesh and she announces he belongs to her, gift of her Mother, who is imprisoned beneath the Earth and she recognizes the power of the green door. A magical battle ends with Eldest taking on Enkidu’s body. She opens the gate to the underworld but a voice informs her that her mother’s sentence is not yet ended, unleashing a holocaust of green flame. The heat drives Eldest out of Enkidu’s body and he tears her in half and forces her face into the fire before they are both consumed. The monsters fled in fear of the One Below All and humans reclaimed the city….

In her lavish Las Vegas apartment, the current incarnation of the Eldest concludes her story as the modern-day Hulk approaches….


 

Review / Commentaries


Incredible Hulk #16 Review by (September 4, 2024)

Review: This elaborate flashback to the time of the first Hulk concludes the offbeat brief story arc that is designed to inform and undergird the current adventures of the Hulk. Very nice and appropriately gritty.  

Comments: Enkidu’s origin was shown in IMMORTAL HULK: TIME OF MONSTERS. Enkidu was the name of the companion of Gilgamesh in that hero’s ancient epic. Dee Cunliffe contributed to the colors.
