If you’ve been missing The Perry Bible Fellowship since ir disappeared from your local free entertainment paprt, then this is a must read for you.  Perry Bible Fellowship Hulk AND Perry Bible Fellowship Wolverine.  And they’re both hilarious.

James Kochalka writes and draws a Hulk story.

Paul Pope shows the trials and tribulations of The Inhumans’ Lockjaw.

Nick Bertozzi goes where no writer has previously gone with MODOK: the bathtub!

And Jason does Spider-Man as a Jason comic.  Which is just, well, amazing.

There were other stories in the book.  But, really, on those merits alone, I would have given this book fives for art and stories.  Peter Bagge’s Hulk story, M Kipperman’s spin on Namor were both alright.  And while I didn’t care too much for Dash Shaw’s Dr. Strange (mostly because I don’t care for Dr. Strange, I suspect), and Junko Mizunio’s Spiderman (which was beautiful and not poorly translated, but I’m not its target audience), my biggest disappointment was the She-Hulk story, which was colored and lettered by a really good friend of mine (Star St. Germain), but is a really dull story.  I liked Crabapple’s art style, thoughy.

Overall, definitely worth checking out.  I both do and don’t want to know who they’ve got on the two upcoming issues.  This was such a nice surprise (Star colored and lettered the She-Hulk story almost three years ago now), that I kind of want the next issue to be as nice a surprise.

Story: 5 - Excellent
Art: 5 - Excellent
