The Best Of: Hulk #6
1. The flashback between Bruce Banner and Jennifer Walters absolutely killed me. Just the relationship between these cousins, especially knowing what is going to happen to Bruce, is so lovely. How dare Marvel kill Bruce Banner and cause Jen pain. How dare they.
2. "For the longest time I was only afraid of two things... The possibility that something bad would happen to someone I love. Which, when you're a super hero, is both infinitely possible... and seemingly impossible. I put my fears in a small drawer in my heart and tried not to think about them."
3. The design of the monster and the detail woven into the panels of it are pretty amazing. Once again, I am praising the art in this series. I must like it then, right?
4. My god, Jen's transformation into the Hulk is perfectly written, drawn, and colored. Five out of five stars for those panels and pages.
5. How the Hulk is able communicate with the weird monster protecting the apartment. Very interesting.
6. Maisie's broken plea to die because she cannot live with what has been done to her anymore. Tamaki writes the trauma of these characters so well and sympathetically, and a lesser writer would not be able to do it.
7. The Hulk's desperation to save Maisie because she cannot take let anyone else die.
8. Jen accidently sitting on a memorial bench. It happens to all us sometimes.
9. Flo's thoughts on memorials and how she tries to comfort Jen. "I'm not a big fan of memorials." "Oh yeah?" "A memorial implies that the only victims are the ones in the ground. I think you can live through that kind of darkness every day, that you can live in a war, and that feels like a kind of dying."
10. "Maisie was right. I am a monster. A different kind of monster now. A monster still breathing in a world... horrible... and worth fighting for."
