This volume of the oversized hardcover collects the arcs 'Hulk is Hulk' and 'The keeper of the door'. I have mixed feelings about this one. Hulk is Hulk has the body horror, a fairly superficial critique of nostalgia in capitalist systems that somehow manages to make Xemnu of all things scary (google him).
On the other hand, because there has been so much plot progression The keeper of the door has to go back a step and set things up for future stories. Basically, there's a lot of standing around talking followed by some perfunctory fighting. The story is going somewhere interesting, I would just rather be there already. Then again, there is also a scene wherethe Leader dislocates his face to eat Brian Banner's soul using an insectoid proboscis so it's not all bad.
