We don’t know if you heard…but hulk came back to earth and made a huuuuuuuuge mess. Who’s s.h.i.e.l.d. gonna get to
Clean it up? Damage control, the roughest, toughest dilapidated dirt dogs this side’a the universe. If anyone can clean up the aftereffects of world war hulk, they can. But while they’re picking up the pieces, they find that the war…may not be over…
"So when a city gets wrecked like Manhattan did in World War Hulk, who’s going to fix it? Superheroes? No, that’d be boring. I know! CONSTRUCTION WORKERS! That’s sure to energize the Marvel readership! Yep, Damage Control’s back on the scene, and despite some trepidation I might have regarding a comic composed of roughly 50% cell-phone conversations and 50% meetings, this is actually a decently entertaining comic. Especially for those of us pining for the light-hearted superhero-courtroom storytelling of Dan Slott’s She-Hulk run. It’s not at that level, but it does try to be a little more upbeat than a book about urban destruction usually is. The art by Salva Espin doesn’t hurt either, as it’s got the expressive, nearly ‘cartoony’ style of late-90’s Wildstorm artists like JJ Kirby that I personally dig. If you’re looking for a slightly unusual and fairly self-contained mini-series, this one’s a good pick."
