May 12, 2004A somewhat confusing opening chapter as Bruce Jones seems more interested in offering up curious plot devices and ulterior motives than in laying out a clear path for this story to take. Now I'd be more intrigued by this approach if it hadn't been the established pattern that he's been using for pretty much his entire run, as I've reached the point where I find myself wondering if he could even tell a story that didn't require one to continually reorientate oneself in a bid to figure out where the story is heading. Still, there are enough interesting ideas at play here that I'm hopeful that he's got a clear picture of where he's taking us, as the idea that Stark Industries is messing about with gamma radiation makes for a solid plot device to draw Banner into the mix, and the last page makes it clear that Tony is behaving out of character for a reason.

Bruce Jones is a genius only greater minds can understand. I can't. What's with the character motivations? Tony will drop Hulk in the space after a few years and now he's all that friendly with him even when he's already a fugitive... What Bruce needs of him? What he needs of Bruce? Only questions and the story really isn't that enthralling. By the way, got Sins Past flashbacks of that suit in the end of the story. And I didn't like how Deodato portrayed Rhino here. These Iron Man armors are arguably looking as well - not a fan.
