Week Ending

Due to my busy schedule of boring adult stuff, I find myself having to re-read these issues a second time. I generally read them during the week then grab some time at the weekend to write down my poorly edited hot-takes.

Also for the UK version of this cover we receive the slightly clunky speech balloon for the Hulk, all this aside, still a great cover. The Incredible Hulk: On The Side of The Evil Inhumans! Reprinting The Incredible Hulk #120 Two things that will never cease to amaze me in early Hulk tales: how easy it is for the bad guys to
