Tune into Marvel Adventures: Hulk #13 to find out!
This book is definitely an all ages book, and when I say that I don’t mean it’s just for kids. Peter David has written an incredibly fun read that anybody from the oldest comics fanboy to the youngest starting collector would find enjoyable. The art team of Juan Santacruz and Raul Fernandez I found to be very reminiscent of Mark Bagley’s style. I felt each page was very well laid out and their introductions of some of the mummy heroes were brilliant! This art could definitely hold up in a more teen reader focused superhero book. All in all this was just a great break from the deeper stories going on in normal Marvel continuity. Don’t let the all ages rating dissuade you. Give the Marvel Adventures: Hulk a try. You won’t be sorry you did!
