Hulk #285Issue(s): Hulk #285 Review/plot: ![]() Much of this issue is a retrospective of his career to date. It's also confirmed that he rejected the Avengers' offer of membership from last issue. But we get a little action when a power core that Stark purchased from a company called Soulstar happens to be where the electric monster called Zzzax was contained. ![]() In the subsequent fight... ![]() ...Hulk again finds himself limited by the fact that he can't get mad enough to become strong enough to defeat Zzzax... ![]() ...but he makes up for it with his scientific know-how... ![]() ...and manages to shoot Zzzax into space. Meanwhile, Rick Jones is upset that Bereet is capitalizing on the Hulk's fame by premiering a move about him, but Bereet's retort that Rick only gets by on being the Hulk's sidekick cuts him deep. ![]() A little too heavy on Mantlo melodrama, but this is a better than average issue. Quality Rating: C+ Chronological Placement Considerations: This issue sets up a new status quo for the Hulk where he's working out of a new scientific laboratory in upstate New York. Work on the building begins this issue and due to the magic of Starktech, it's also completed this issue. ![]() Since it's "Stark Industries" and not "Stane Industries" building the lab, this should take place before Iron Man #171-175.
