There’s a sequence where Hulk’s brain slowly regenerates, which gives Ewing & Bennett chance to shuffle through incarnations and eras of the character. As the dialogue moves from incoherent yelling through confused toddler to coldly articulate, his appearance evolves too.

This arc seems to be all about what grief means, in a world where – as Fury points out – death isn't necessarily permanent. Reminds me of Martian Manhunter’s funeral in FINAL CRISIS.

(Similarly: I love the way that, when Hulk prepares to launch into one of those tall-buildings-in-a-single-bound leaps, we see him sinking into the sand underfoot. Adds weight to a moment we've seen a hundred times before.)

Anyway, that's all the we've got time for today. LITTLE BIRD is a really interesting book, and apparently there's currently no plan to collect these (double-sized) issues in a trade – so you might want to pick this up before it flies off shelves.

A cool little detail that I think speaks to an expectation that people will read this comic multiple times: when Little Bird infiltrates the base, she's just barely visible, hidden behind walls and doorframes. You'd only spot her if you already knew what you were looking for.

Some great lettering here from – speech bubbles that are equal parts scriptural and robotic, perfectly capturing the creepy little dudes they belong to.

Also, maybe it's because I was paying such close attention to the layout, but when we arrive at the prison (where at least one superhero is being held), the windows of the cells couldn't help but remind me of panels on a comics page.

A cool recurring feature of this layout is the narrow sliver panel. The comic finds multiple uses for them: establishing shots and scene transitions, extreme close-ups that create claustrophobia or – the opposite – imply an image that stretches way past the panel's boundaries.

Time for another thread, on Darcy Van Poelgeest/Ian Bertram's LITTLE BIRD The usual mix of observations, celebrations and (relatively mild) spoilers follows.
