BrokenFrontier digs “Incredible Hulk” #94
An excerpt:
Incredible Hulk is fast becoming one of comicdom’s must read books…. Each of the first three parts of Planet Hulk have been wonderfully exciting to read and look at, so if you’ve been on the fence about hopping onto the title, I can’t recommend doing so enough. Though it’s still early, this is easily the best the book has been since the historic Peter David run of the 80s and early 90s. And if the final page of this issue is any indication, the book will only get better.

This is Hulk at his best, in a story that showcases the Big Green differently than any earthbound story could. … Is it a classic? There’s still another year to go, but it’s certainly looking like this will be a Hulk tale for the ages.
