This one I knew about for over a week now. There’s been no shortage of fanfare about the new Totally Awesome Incredible Hulk sans Bruce Banner—who is replaced by Amadeus Cho, the eighth smartest man in the All-New, All-Different Marvel Universe, according to the Pym-Von Doom Raw Calc Scale.

To celebrate the series launch, Midtown Comics hosted Greg Pak for a signing. It was scheduled to begin late at 7 PM, so I was able to head downtown right after work via the subway. Midtown and Pak ran the signing like a well oiled machine (although I did get a little suspicious when commanded to wait outside in line in an alley). In groups of ten we were ushered into the store, and in a matter of minutes I was in front of Greg. He graciously signed my two copies (I had both the original cover and alternative hip-hop variant); and I was able to quickly get in a photo op). Plus I got a free Ant-Man movie poster (in exchange for some personal info to enter a contest for a free Ant-Man Blu Ray Disc).

The book itself is pretty light. Good old eye candy, plenty of cameos, and Hulk smashing action. This one is for the open-minded, true-blue Hulk fans, who won’t resent a sidelined Bruce Banner, and an annoyingly hyperactive 19 year old Hulk.
