Reviewer Notes
Back by popular demand, Peter David has returned to helm this limited series and bring Hulk back to Las Vegas. I didn’t know the complete history of the Joe Fixit character, as I was out of comic book collecting before the original story arc began. I was a fan of the recent New Fantastic Four series, I grabbed this book when I noticed it on the rack.
This storyline is set in the current year of 2023. The New Fantastic Four miniseries released last year was set in the year 1991. Now, Joe is a little more mature and seems a bit more sinister.
I love the art in this book, and the writing is top notch. I’m going to give Joe Fixit a four out of five stars. I’m looking forward to the next issue.
