Not Jen's fault. Blame Tamaki. Her writing has been rancid on the title.

Comicsverse - Jared Cox
Jun 16, 2017The plot of HULK #7 has far deeper implications than at first glance, providing insightful social commentary and metaphors. Jennifer is humanized through her personal struggles in her inner monologues and interactions with others. The art compliments the story with a simple yet effective look, with striking lines and popping colors. Read Full Review

Jun 16, 2017Hulk #7 continues to give Jen a powerful psychological narrative while also introducing a more personal villain - making this a great start for the series' second arc. Read Full Review

Geeked Out Nation - Jideobi Odunze
Jun 14, 2017Hulk #7 starts 'Let Them Eat Cake', and they did not hold back with what throws Jen into the action once more. This creative team is on the right track where Jen can have this engaging rehabilitation and still deal with other things going on around her. Now it is also more set in stone that this is a new kind of Hulk we are dealing with. One who wears the scars on her sleeve quite literally which can mean anything if Jen isn't careful.

Black Nerd Problems - Omar Holmon
Jun 14, 2017There's a lot more to get into this issue as the bridge into the next arc is set up through the cooking shows Walters watches to control her episodes. Tamaki is unraveling more layers of Walters in this new introspective look into how trauma effects the psyche of a Hulk. Read Full Review

Jun 15, 2017Slow pacing is becoming a real sticking point with several ongoing Marvel titles right now, and Hulk is possibly the biggest offender of them all. Read Full Review

Jun 14, 2017Hulk #7 is an okay start to the new arc, but it's hampered by weird writing, some poor storytelling, and artwork that has a lot of issues. Read Full Review

Henchman-4-Hire - Sean Ian Mills
Jun 17, 2017After the first, gripping story arc, Hulk pulls a complete 180 and changes from a dramatic PTSD metaphor to just another superhero comic about fighting bad guys. My mind boggles at how bad this change feels. I am disappointed. Read Full Review

We jump ahead in Jen's healing journey and start a new story about what looks like YouTube pranksters administering MGH to unsuspecting folks and filming the results. Mariko Tamaki continues to handle Jen's evolving character with great skill and sensitivity, and the setup for this new arc looks impressively novel. Georges Duarte's art is pretty solid, though both script and visuals appear to be moving away from the "Hulked-out Jen is uncontrollably feral" precedent established last month. That's a tiny bit disappointing. Overall, though, this issue delivers just the dose of forward progress that the title needed.

I dropped this title after the first arc, but not fast enough to avoid getting this one, so, yeah. The story was kind of annoying. Thanks for the meaningless Hellcat visit. Jen herself has outworn her welcome for me. And the guy makes the toxic (or whatever) cake after his boyfriend watches some dude pour green stuff out on the ingredients, so...this comic has wasted my time for the last time and I don't really like Jen Walters anymore and I'm not reading this lame nothing-ever-happens book again.
