Hello all....just a quick note about World War Hulk from last week. While I think the story was very strong, I have to say that the art was some of the worst I've seen in quite awhile from Romita Jr. He's usually a guy who can just *nail* it and has been fantastic over the years. I have to think this book slightly overwhelmed him at the end..otherwise it was a fantastic series and I really enjoyed it. Let's get into it for the week....
