Summary: the book that kept me busy,
Comment: a great hulk novel. i've always liked the battles between the hulk and the abomination, and this one is a little different, because, as dr. banner put it,''this isn't like emil. emil kickes and bites.''this and peter david's book have to be my favs for hulk novels. a good read that kept me busy.

Summary: Wow.
Comment: Wow! What a wonderfully pleasant surprise this book was. I still can't believe that the Hulk, a character i've never been overly fond of, has managed to score two of my highest reviews (this one and Peter David's book)! I guess i have to start this review off with an apology. In reviewing the Doomsday trilogy i criticized the need for Sean Morgan and SAFE, arguing that the more familiar Nick Fury and SHIELD could play much the same roll. Well, that's certainly not true in this book. Sean Morgan is a pivotal AND compelling character in Abominations. Jason Henderson fleshes out a history for the character that intricately ties him into the plot. A strong emotional triangle is set between Morgan, the Hulk, and the Abomination that takes takes this book up a step or two above the usual fare. Henderson's portrayal of the villian of the piece, the Abomination, is as compelling (in it's own way) as the character of Sean Morgan. In fact, Henderson appears to have been giving almost as much room to play with the Abomination (an official comic character) as Sean Morgan (a character unique to the Marvel novels). The book benefits from this, and i can only hope that the bigwigs at Marvel take note. Stretching the boundaries with establish characters may create some continuity problems....but this freedom allows the writers to create a better story. It's at this point past readers of my reviews probably expect me to mention what i didn't like about this book. Well, surprise....i liked everything about this book. The Hulk was written extremely well, and easily would have been the highlight of this book if it wasn't for the exception portrayals of Morgan & the Abomination that , at times, overshadowed our lead. The plot was good, but it was the intricately weaved sub-plot that kept me rivited. If you're not totally into this book by the end of chapter one, you might as well just stop reading...'cause you just don't get it! Heck, as i write this review i'm remembering more and more how much i liked. I'm also trying to figure out if there's any good reason why this book shouldn't get five stars. Hmmmmm.... OK, maybe one little thing. I would have liked a tad more humour. But that's REALLY nit-picking. -- Peter James Gallacher

Summary: Man vs Monster
Comment: That's true. This is a story of two men whose lives have been forever changed by exposure to Gamma Energy, The Incredible Hulk and the Abomination. But their the similarities end. The Hulk is a green man who has never lost sight of his humanity, thanks to the love of his wife Betty, but the Abomination has no such luck. He has become a green monster who has no regrets about killing. When they meet at various points in the book, these differences make themselves known very clearly. Jason Henderson did a good job with this novel. I hope more Hulk novels are published soon.
