Bruce Banner may lose his place with the Avengers, all because he cannot control his anger, which causes Hulk to appear and bring about destruction. Bruce is sentenced to teach middle school science for a year to demonstrate that he can control his anger. Mostly b&w illustrations and text tell the story of how well (or not) this goes, with green used in the illustrations when Hulk appears. Will Bruce make it through the school year? Will he still be an Avenger in the end? Will the middle school students get Bruce (and Hulk) madder and madder? Readers will discover the answers to these and more, when they devour this interesting Marvel universe graphic novel by the creator of the popular Jedi Academy graphic novels for a similar audience.
