The same can be said for Modeus in regards to Plutonian the guy even jumped over into Bette, which I can only guess will end horridly. Plutonian just won't let go of his obsession with Bette. So far, I think this volume has the least to offer in regards to thrills, surprises, and good story. Disappointing and repetitive, at this point I'm just looking forward to the finish line to end this stale series.

Whereas at the start of the series I couldn't wait to read each book to find out where Waid was going, now it's clear he doesn't really have anything inspired in mind and the story is going to go out in a fizzle instead of a bang. I will say that the final few pages throws one, two, three sucker punches that rekindled my interest in this flailing storyline but for the most part, Book 8, like the last one, is a dud. Now, Waid spends his time throwing more and more characters into the mix to try and bring the story to life and fails in all instances. It's safe to say my love affair with this series is over with. Survivor wasn't a twin - he was a triplet! So his last surviving brother is sought out to replace the increasingly unhinged Survivor, while the US government, along with the Japanese and Chinese governments, join forces to unleash another devastating weapon in a desperate bid to destroy Plutonian once and for all. So much for an intelligent character portrait, eh Mark Waid? The book introduces yet more new characters because Waid doesn't seem to have anything left to say about the original cast. The wheel spinning continues as Plutonian makes it back to Earth but doesn't do anything new, just continues his wave of destruction. The story twists at the end were the reason for reading this volume, but even then you can see the strings on the marionettes. Measures are attempted by the humans and the super hero community to stop this loony, destructive metaphorical runaway choo-choo train.įree advice to Earthlings everywhere: Start running.īottom line: This is probably the first volume that Waid’s plot mechanisms are starting to show some real strain. He’s back and he’s crazier and angrier than the first time. Ha! Okay, imaginary troll person who only exists in the dark recesses of my mind, how about they’re both really angry.

The Plutonian wears a cape and tights the Hulk is gre… Plus, Hulk blamed them for killing his alien wife. The Plutonian is evil and a nutter the Hulk was getting revenge because the smarty pants Illuminati blasted him into space.

The Plutonian escaped from an insane asylum the Hulk was trapped on a gladiator planet. The Plutonian is back on Earth and it’s World War Hulk all over again!
