189. Hulk vol 1/2 #90 ... Marvel ...

Well you know with the number of times comics has been renumbered, relaunched n then revert back to original numbering, sometimes it is hard to claim which volume it is but this issue is significant because ... well it retells an old Hulk tale but for a new generation

What do we mean?

Ummm you know how people say there are no original tales anymore but rehashing of old storylines ... and if done well, it can be fresh and entertaining? Just like how many times Thor has faced Ragnarok with the Wyrm? Well, this is one such story

Basically the premise is that once again everyone has decided that the Hulk is a menace that cannot be cured, stopped, controlled. So the only way is to get rid of him. And as no one has yet to find a way to kill Hulk, they can only exile him. And finally since this is a global decision, it means he has to be ejected beyond Earth

The first time they did this was in Hulk's first run up to 300 where he was sent to the crossroads of all realities ... by Dr Strange after massive battle with Avengers etc with Nightmare as the principle villain

Here there is no principle villain but merely a con job involving SHIELD and some of the Illuminati like Dr Strange, Reed Richards, Iron Man and a few others ...

So they con him to go into space to help on a project and then ... eject him to beyond ... great art, gripping storyline especially the rage when Hulk found out he has been tricked ... awesome!

Ratings: 7/10
