WORLD WAR HULK: AFTERSMASH #1

Hard to believe, but this was probably the best issue to come out of WWH since the start of that event. If you followed my reviews of that series, you'll know my opinion of it rapidedly soured as the story, and delays, went on. I really thought I'd hate this issue and was going to put it back on the shelf until I randomly decided to get it. I'm glad I did.
This issue is exactly what you'd expect, an aftermath epilogue to the WWH event. While I hated Tom Foster's portrayal in that event, he was much more tolerable this issue and his character's evolution throughout the issue, mostly after his gaining growing powers and battling Iron Man, was handled well and I'd like to see more of him.
Cho and Hercules, despite the prominent dispaly on the cover, are barely featured in this issue. They basically cameo in a few pages where they are seen helping survivors.
The only thing I disliked about his issue was the Misty Knight stuff. I wasn't a fan of Heroes 4 Hire and, even after having read the last few issues of that series, I don't really know why she's acting like she was involved in some kind of military slaughter of civilians or something. She didn't even kill anyone and wasn't event he one who was tripping out over the stuff they did at the end of her series - that was Colleen.
Verdict - Check It. Worth a look, especially if you weren't satisfied with WWH's ending, and a Must Read if you did enjoy WWH.
