Hulk (2021) #1
SCORE: 70
Thanks to Xbox Game Pass Peter had three months of Marvel Unlimited
for free. We decided to use it before it expired. I had heard about this
new Hulk reboot in 2021 and thought I would check it out. I started with
Hulk (2021) #1. I noticed that Marvel Unlimited is a bit behind on the
current issues that are being sold on the market. So Marvel is trying to
get people to continue to purchase the physical copies of comic books.
As a supporter of the physical copy movement I can completely relate.
I am not familiar with the events in the Marvel Comics so there are
references to some tragedy in El Paso. I guess the Hulk had something to
do with it. We find out in Hulk (2021) #1 that the Hulk has split into
three personalities. The first is the body being controlled by Banner.
The second is Banner who is treating the Hulk like a space ship. The
last one is the uncontrolled anger and rage of the Hulk. That is being
used as an engine for the body when it needs to fight.
Banner while in control of the Hulk fights through Iron Man to get to
this teleporter. No one knows where it will send him. Banner lets the
heroes of Earth know that he is someone they never planned for. They may
have plans or the Hulk, but not Banner the scientist in control of the
Hulk. SPOILER ALERT! Banner leaves the Earth and that is where Hulk
(2021) #1 ends. It is to be continued of course.
The issues families will have with Hulk (2021) #1 is blood, gore,
violence, and more. Any profanity is put into odd characters so the word
is not even guessable. I like that way of doing things. Bad language is
referenced without actually being shown. Banner realizes the Hulk is
immortal but he is not. He wants some time in control which is a main
theme throughout Hulk (2021) #1. This is an interesting idea for this
reboot.
Hulk (2021) #1 does remind me of what happened before Planet Hulk. When
I was reading in Marvel Unlimited I had to click on the screen to have
the bars on the top and the bottom go away. That way I could read words
that were being blocked at the top and the bottom. Hulk (2021) #1 has
okay art. The story got me interested right away. I will read some more
issues of this digital comic book in the future.
