A building issue, for sure, but it still pulls through unscathed. While we see less "action" in this issue than perhaps we did in the first, we get a broader view of the "New Banner." Perhaps the strongest success is its portrayal of Tony Stark, or "Tony Snark" as Banner refers to him at one point. Despite what we've seen on the big screen, TS is not a charismatic, likable character, and Waid does a disturbingly accurate job of writing Stark as the ego-driven, chest beater.

Perhaps one day we'll see Waid write an Iron Man book... No one would like Tony this hypothetical book, but no one truly liked Heisenberg either...
