"If it was Thanos or Dr. Doom breaking into your secret old underground prison, you'd get Captain America and Thor. But when you got a Hulk problem... You get us."
In "The Incredible Hulk #12," writer Jason Aaron wraps up his five-issue story arc ("Stay Angry") with another moment of the Hulk waking up in a strange situation and piecing together Bruce Banner's evil plot. In this issue the Hulk awakens in a forgotten S.H.I.E.L.D. prison nestled deep within the confines of Antarctica; he realizes that his plan of 'staying angry' has not worked out quite as planned, and is promptly pitted against Wolverine and The Thing in an all-out slugfest.Unsurprisingly, the Hulk does a lot of damage; there is a lot of pain for all parties, lots of stabbing, and lots of punching. It is an action-packed issue that instantly becomes the highlight of Aaron's story arc. By bringing Wolverine, the Hulk and Thing together for an all-out brawl it has a sort of throwback feel to it.
Overall, I really enjoyed this issue--more so than the last few. I had never really considered myself a huge Hulk fan up until reading Aaron's run, however, with his writing and the stellar art it's hard not to be a fan! In particular though, this issue caught my eye--from page two onwards (which features Wolverine and The Thing heading into the prison discussing their reason of being there). Carlos Pancheco's art and Frank Martin's coloring are spectacular, and at its heart is the inspiration for this post. That coupled with the line above really sets the tone for the whole issue.
