S.M.A.S.H. Time

Time is in freefall.

The White House has disappeared. So has a military installation and other structures. The longer they’re gone, the less people remember them.

Because with the warp in time, those places never existed. And why have memories of places that never existed?

What happened to time? Superheroes broke it. The Avengers traveling through time, time after time. Past and future X-Men working together, etc.

Who can fix time?

Bruce Banner and the Hulk. It will take Banner’s brain and the Hulk’s brawn.

In “Indestructible Hulk: S.M.A.S.H. Time,” Banner’s mind is transferred into a floating robot and the Hulk is, well, Hulk.

The story arc is part of the series where SHIELD allows Banner to pursue his scientific ideas while using the Hulk for various situations that require, well, Hulk.

“S.M.A.S.H. Time” is good stuff. Great moments include the Banner/Hulk team visiting the Marvel cowboy characters of Kid Colt, the Two-Gun Kid and Rawhide Kid in an Old West plagued by dinosaurs, and a visit to King Arthur’s court.

Readers may wish the creative team spent more time on this story arc. It would have been fun to see Banner/Hulk make a few more stops in the time stream.

Good stuff. Time’s up.
