Finished reading Hulk: Omega Hulk Book Two, this concludes the series as writer Gerry Duggan brings an end to story of Doc Green as he deals with confronting the last of the Gamma powered people on the Earth. The book opens up with Doc Green and his assistants setting up their equipment in the Baxter Building since the Fantastic Four left their home. At the former home of the Fantastic Four the group of scientists develop a teleportation device to use on Lyra to send her back home only for something to go wrong when Doc Green's artificial intelligence goes rogue on him prompting Doc Green to search for her while still curing other gamma powered beings. This leads to him hiring Deadpool to track down Red Hulk since his AI went rouge. Additionally there's a story written by Aubrey Sitterson that shows how Doc Green's assistants found Lyra which has a great comedic tone and helps to wrap up the plot line that was left hanging at the beginning of the book. Overall this was a great book as it brings an end to the series on a great note as writer Gerry Duggan brings a close to the Omega Hulk story ack. The characterisation of Doc Green in played out incredibly well as writer Gerry Duggan umanises Doc Green as the fact of his AI going rouge and knowing that his intelligence is slowly decreasing allows for a very emotional conversation with She-Hulk towards the end of the book. While the final part of the book with Betty and Bruce which is much delayed has a great payoff. The inclusion of Deadpool into the fray brings a great amount of comic relief to the book while his interactions between Hulk and Steve Rogers work very well in the context of the book. The artwork by Mark Bagley works perfectly for the book as it shows how destructive the fight between Doc Green and Red Hulk is to the planet and to each other. While Rhoald Marcllius' artwork on the Lyla story work well for the more comedic tone to the story. 8/10.
