Adriano Di Benedetto

I like the idea of making Hulk a horror comic under the Immortal brand, but Al Ewing's run ended up disappointing me. I was hoping the writers of this collection of short stories might top Ewing in the scares department, but, alas, my blood was quite safe from curdling.

Great Power / Tom Taylor, writer; Jorge Molina, penciler; Adriano Di Benedetto with Roberto Poggi, inkers ~ 2 stars ~

Peter Parker gets him some gamma and becomes a Spider-Hulk. He and Bruce Banner do some ho-hum bonding as they work toward a cure.

The Threshing Place / Jeff Lemire, writer; Mike del Mundo, artist ~ 2 stars ~

The perpetually wandering Bruce Banner manages to come across yet another plan to use gamma rays for bad and intercedes. Jeff Lemire changes up his usual father and son theme by doing a father and daughter story. Such range!

Flatline / Declan Shalvey, writer and artist ~ 2 stars ~

Bruce Banner's old mentor has one last lesson to impart. Being a comic book, the lesson of course involves a fight scene.

A Little Fire / David Vaughn, writer; Kevin Nowlan, artist ~ 2 stars ~

Marvel's Scarecrow is utterly indistinguishable from DC's Scarecrow as he runs an experiment in fear in a Kansas movie theater. Hulk handles him as easily as Batman does his version.
