It really is the fall of Pantheon.

Everything starts to boil over to a big final showdown with Agamemnon. We've been getting his past origins with the little add on stories at the end of each issue. Now we see him come back to the Pantheon to break it all down and rebuild but the Hulk isn't having that. This leads to Hulk and the Pantheon verses Agamemnon and Achilles. It's a bitter sweet ending to a somewhat uneven storyline about the Pantheon but a highly entertaining ending.

The second half is more one shots of Hulk and Betty trying to live their lives undercover and away from everyone. It's fun and touches on subjects like shootings, abortions, and does it pretty tasteful if you ask me with a little superhero twist here or there. These are much more grounded than the last 30-40 issues but a nice change of pace with abomination showing up close to the end of these stories.

I will say the goodbye issue to Jim, Hulk's and Jones friend who has Aids really hits hard. I know we know a lot more about Aids now and people live even longer with it, but man, the desperation and sadness in this issue is rough piled on with another story happening at the same time. Peter David handles this one well.

Overall a great collection and now joining some of my favorite hulk stories around. A 4.5 out of 5.
