I haven't been reading Hulk; I picked this up for the fight with Thor. Did anyone else read it? I thought the way Hulk got around Mjolnir's enchantment was ludicrous. But of course, it's his book, so he has to come out ahead.

I found this absolutely ridiculous. But Jeph Loeb's Hulk is a strange beast. The writing is hideous but it's like he KNOWS it's awful so he's just having lots of fun. And I have to hand it to him, even if each issue takes six seconds to read and displays absolutely no logical storytelling or internal consistency and reads like a crazed and particularly poor Fan Fiction ('Whosoever holds this hammer if he be worthy shall possess the power of Thor! DISCLAIMER: Enchantment may not work in space") it's still somehow bizarrely enjoyable, perhaps because while it's just mindless action... it's FANTASTICALLY drawn mindless action.

I didn't know anything about this book until I read it here, and I wish things had stayed that way -_- Ok, Hulk had to win, but even setting aside all the powers that Thor has (and doesn't use here), the no gravity trick was just ridicolous. And I'm pretty certain I have seen the hammer working in space before!
