One of my favorite heroes in the Marvel Universe has always been the Hulk. I remember watching the shows a child and playing with my Hulk Mego. Anyway, I always enjoyed the concept of someone getting stronger the angrier they got. The latest story line has the Hulk needing to stay angry to keep Bruce Banner from achieving his goal. What is Banner’s goal? Banner wants to gain control back over the beast. In past issues, you know that the Hulk has separated from Banner as well as kill himself. But then we also found out that a little piece of Banner is still itching the Hulk’s brain trying to gain control.
Issue #10 is part 3 of the “Stay Angry” storyline and we find the Hulk in outer space. How he gets there he can only guess was Banner’s doing. He finds out that he is on a Russian space station that used Skrull technology to cloak itself and stay hidden. The Hulk is not alone on this station. Besides a group of kids, there are cybernetic bears as well as a crazed super soldier who has gone mad from the years in space.
The Hulk realizes to leave the station; he has to defeat this soldier as well as the bears. In the end, the Hulk is victorious and escapes the station using an emergency space craft to return to Earth. However, Hulk has to make a tough decision to fly back home. If you pick up this issue, you will know what this decision is.
The writing by Jason Aaron is flawless! I have really enjoyed the “Stay Angry” storyline. It is one of the reasons why I was saddened to hear that Marvel will be ending this title soon, but that in itself is another post.
I give this book a strong 8 out of 10. You need to pick up issues # 8 and 9 as well to be able to really enjoy the “Stay Angry” Story. Until next time, Hulk Smash!
