Wow we are posting this one year plus later hahahaha but this issue features two significant matters ... firstly the cover is art by Mike Mignola (Hellboy) and at this juncture you can already see him developing his own signature art style which we are happy for him that many like it. But it is just not for us. Especially for a cover because while it may be acceptable for interiors, as cover goes, it just doesn't pop!
Anyway the next significant matter of this issue is that after a year in the land of travelling from planet to planet with no end in sight and potentially (we are not sure) sliding interest of readers (and sales) because we remembered dropping this title before picking it up years later ... this is the one that brings the Hulk back to Earth courtesy of Alpha Flight so yes you will need to read the conclusion and the prologue of this tale from Alpha Flight
Basically as the writer knows where the tale has to end, he spends the bulk of this issue letting the Hulk and his alter ego have flashbacks from their earlier times on earth to the days here in this particular setting of the Crossroads and all that they had encountered ... and some soul searching ensue before Alpha Flight, searching for a powerful host body to house the spirit of Sasquatch who was killed in the regular Flight series accidentally reaches for the body of the Hulk and brought him back to Earth
So when the Hulk returns, does he have Walter within? Or is it the crazed savage Hulk? Or perhaps the original man-child Hulk?
Next issue please ...
