Hulk: Season One by Tom Fowler, Fred Van Lente
2.0

I have mixed feelings about this comic since some of the plots seemed like an unneeded attempt to create an 'edgier' version of the Hulk's origin story, which unfortunately resulted in something that felt very odd and distanced from the original source material.

However the parts of this that I did care for I really enjoyed, such as Bruce's fight for dominance with Hulk inside his mind that was extremely powerful and meaningful on its own, but also for people who themselves struggle with the toxic feelings and behaviors Hulk has come to represent which are often developed from experiencing continuous mistreatment or abuse. 

The general story I wasn't really into due to its weird and gritty nature, and I wish much of this had more solid writing since it isn't on Marvel Unlimited and I had to purchase it separately, but I still don't regret buying or reading it since pieces were excellent and complimented well by the art.
