Original Sin: Hulk Vs Iron man Review


Finished reading Original Sin: Hulk Vs Iron man, this brings together writers Kieron Gillen and Mark Waid as they team to retool the origin of the Hulk by adding Tony Stark into it. The book opens up with Hulk and Iron man at blows with each other in Tony's own city, Troy. The story then goes back to the explosion of the Watcher's eye during the events of Original Sin where Tony and Hulk discover that Tony was involved with the gamma bomb that created the Hulk, as both begin to share each other's perspective of the day. After this Tony heads to a motel near the bomb site in hoping to remember what happened as he was constantly drinking at the time due to being an alcoholic, while Bruce uses his S.H.I.E.L.D clearance to look in to the Pentagon's archives to see if there is any truth to Tony's involvement. After finding evidence to Tony's involvement Bruce meets with Arno Stark to use the Extremis that helped fix his damaged brain to make the Hulk smarter and give him a better chance to defeating Iron man. Overall this was an amazing book as it adds a new element of Tony Stark's involvement to the Hulk's origin in an organic way that doesn't change too much of the original story. The confrontation between Iron man and Hulk is action pack and depicted greatly by the creative team with the fight scenes brought to life greatly by the art team and the final confrontation between Tony and Bruce its written extremely well which is more intriguing than a typical fight between the two. While the inclusion of a more intellectual Hulk is frightening and dangerous with the ramifications of it being very interesting for the future. 9/10.
