Incredible Hulk #607
Marvel Comics
Pak & Pelletier

Fall of the Hulks continues in this issue that sees plenty of action and plot movements. It's a good issue for a number of reasons and chief among them is its accessibility. I attribute this to the writer, as Greg Pak has command of the characters, the story and making sure it provides something for the new reader and the experienced one. The artwork is exceptional which helps to round out a very good comic book.

In some ways this makes the comic that much better. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this comic as the thought of another Hulk event had me rolling my eyes when I read the solicitation a few months ago. This comic was enjoyable enough that I may actually stick around to find out what happens in the next issue.
