I read through this book rather quickly. The first time . . I didn't really like the way it ended. So I read it again. It's not clean, but . . really, it ended the only way it could have. The Hulk got away. The Leader is dead. We think. And Tony is none the worse for wear. Other than having his Ironworks facility destroyed, and 1 or 2 Iron Man outfits . . maybe 3 or 4 billion dollars. But other than that . . he gets to walk away. Last issue the Leader captured Tony and Bruce right after Bruce's rampage and Tony's laser shot into his brain to calm him down. That's when the leader swooped in and captured them both. Tony's been trying to call to his suits, but either somethings blocking him, or he's just to far away. His only option . . shut down the nanobots that he injected into Bruce's bloodstream. The problem is . . once he Hulk's up, his body will adapt and they'll never be able to use that system again. Which means Bruce will be stuck being the Hulk. But did you really think that it would end any other way? Warren Ellis brought some really cool ideas to this series. But that's why it's the Ultimate Universe. Things are allowed to be changed and adapted a bit. I think Warren made good use of this freedom. I also really enjoyed Cary Nord's artwork. It wasn't fancy, or overdone. It was just perfect for this series. The first couple of pages when Tony's going over the options with Bruce, you can really see the desperation and fear in his eyes. I'm not a huge Hulk fan, but I really enjoyed this series. Thanks for the fun.
