Tales to Astonish #1: featuring the Hulk, Wasp, and Hank Pym


Tales to Astonish (1994) #1

While on a working vacation to Scadanvia, Hank Pym and ex-wife, Janet Van Dyne are recruited by the local authorities to look in on a madman who beleive’s he is Loki, the Norse god of Mischief, incarnate.

Adding to the mix is the Hulk, who makes a livesaving appearance, literally in the nick of time. This Hulk is coherent, with the brain of Banner having taken over. So, don’t be surprise that the Hulk is dressed and flying airplanes.


The art work is pretty darn good, with painted scenes that are gruesome and beautiful at the same time. The plot is really good and reminded me a little of CSI or Kolchak, the Night Stalker. The ending got a little too dragged out and I didn’t like one of the twists involving the Hulk. Regardless of this, the book was very good and very much worth consuming.

Rating: 9 out of 10 stars.
