Dark Son covers a lost chapter in the Hulk’s ever changing life. Hiro-Kala is the long lost son of the Worldbreaker during his "exile”. By using his planet’s core, it channels its energy to give him unknown powers (however they are channeled with Skaar) *Skaar was the firstborn son, where Hiro is the latter. It’s a total eye opener from the lost pages from Planet Hulk.
Along for the ride are some of Bruce’s crew. A-Bomb (Rick Jones), She-Hulk (Jen Walters), Red Hulk (Betty Ross) *resurrected! Last time I read a Hulk tale, was when she died.. Oh and she does not play nice! And Amadeus Cho, genius, and big fan of the Hulk. Lyra (alternate realm) daughter of the Hulk.

Skaar – Hulk’s firstborn son from the Planet Hulk mini-series.
All of these unique characters band together for a cause. To
protect their homeworld, and to face any unknown threat even if its family.
The story is really interesting, but most of its opening focuses on Hiro-Kala. A powerful being yet troubled by his father’s reason for leaving him behind. Plus its compelling to see Bruce’s strength as being a leader. But its unique to see a team of Hulk’s band together, and it makes every page worth turning.

What if you could wish for anything? Turns out everyone has a wish, but the answer may not be what they want. Its power can channel anything from the universe. Is it really worth it?
It all begins with Betty (now stuck in her Red Hulk form) taking up Tyrannus’s offer to be his significant other. Monica (a scientist from AIM) is also seeking the fountain of youth. But once its tapped, its powers go out of control and anyone who has a wish will find its answer. With Hulk’s family on guard, and the big guy himself near the fountain, anything is possible.
A main highlight of this mini-series is that the Hulk takes the limelight. It becomes a mission where Hulk has to take the reigns over Bruce. And it makes the reader wonder if we might even see Bruce ever again. Along for the ride, Dr. Strange joins the cause to see what can’t be seen. Acting as a guardian, he helps his friends find a way to make things right.
What I enjoy about this tale, is seeing Betty and Bruce work together. Although in their Hulk’d out form most of the story, their powers are the center of the adventure. On the plus side, they come to an understanding of one another that I don’t believe they’ve ever had in the past.
Every page is a treat, and there is much going on, its best to read this one twice (you might have missed something!) And to sum up, this is a Hulk any fan would want to read.
