I wasn't sure I'd love the books about the Hulk， I was wrong。 I totally enjoyed it and recommend if you have doubts。 I wasn't sure I'd love the books about the Hulk， I was wrong。 I totally enjoyed it and recommend if you have doubts。 。。。more

When I was a kid the Hulk was my absolute favorite superhero， and a lot of it had to do with with a simple fact: he was the strongest there was。 He was sort of the opposite of what you want kids to see in a hero。。。 the madder he got the stronger he got， and his fists and his rage solved a lot of problems。 Looking back on it， not a great takeway。。。 but the Lou Ferrigno/ Bill Bixby Hulk TV series （complete with the saddest theme song ever set to lonely man hitching a ride to the next episode） was When I was a kid the Hulk was my absolute favorite superhero， and a lot of it had to do with with a simple fact: he was the strongest there was。 He was sort of the opposite of what you want kids to see in a hero。。。 the madder he got the stronger he got， and his fists and his rage solved a lot of problems。 Looking back on it， not a great takeway。。。 but the Lou Ferrigno/ Bill Bixby Hulk TV series （complete with the saddest theme song ever set to lonely man hitching a ride to the next episode） was the best。 Unfortunately， Peter David's classic run on the book never aligned to my classical expectations of the character。 My Hulk was green and was dim-witted as he was strong; David's Hulk was grey and he was as sociopathic as he was strong。 My Hulk wandered the desert to be alone like Frankenstein's monster， hunted by the military; David's Hulk was thought dead and was hiding out as a mob enforcer in Las Vegas。 At the tender age of twelve I didn't recognize the contemporaneous run of books as MY Hulk。 But I just cracked open this omnibus collecting all these comics from my youth and I have to say， it's amazing！ The way that David shifts the Hulk to more of a Hyde character and less of a misunderstood #Karloff monster was an interesting new direction。 Making Hulk smarter but menace gave opportunity for Banner and his alter ego to try to checkmate each other in interesting ways; it also made his morality hazier， which added an interesting x-factor。 Was there good in the Hulk， or was he only out for himself？ This had never been a question before， but this new incarnation added all kinds of new lairs。 Love the ways David redefined my childhood favorite hero。 。。。more

All my adult life， I justified my massive backlog of books， comics， magazines and movies by telling people "I'm all set for when I retire， or if I ever find myself sidelined by a long-term illness， lol！" Well， I started to feel poorly a few days after Halloween， and I've missed a lot of work， and。。。wouldn't you know it。。。。I've had zero desire to read while I'm waiting for someone to figure out what the heck is wrong with me。 My main desire has been to lay in bed and watch old comfort sitcoms。 All my adult life， I justified my massive backlog of books， comics， magazines and movies by telling people "I'm all set for when I retire， or if I ever find myself sidelined by a long-term illness， lol！" Well， I started to feel poorly a few days after Halloween， and I've missed a lot of work， and。。。wouldn't you know it。。。。I've had zero desire to read while I'm waiting for someone to figure out what the heck is wrong with me。 My main desire has been to lay in bed and watch old comfort sitcoms。 （Pro tip- I just discovered that Pluto has channels devoted to Happy Days and Three's Company！ I'm miserable and in pain， but that kind of makes me happy。） Anyway， I digress。。。。I was compelled to keep going through this omnibus， because I'm just a few books shy of meeting my 2020 Goodreads goal， which I was on track to blow away。 Now I'll be lucky to reach it at all。 It was tough going， not just because I feel lousy， but because I have reached double/triple/quadruple-dipping saturation with most of the issues collected here。。。。I've just read them too many times。 That said， there are some great stories to be head here， and I really can't recommend this series of omniboo highly enough， especially to those that haven't experienced them before。 Peter David's run is truly essential reading for Marvel fans。 And really， the scene where The Hulk thought that The Thing had become a woman made me laugh out loud for the first time in weeks， so that was worth the price of admission alone。 Onto Vol。 2。。。。 。。。more

Not much to say here other than to recognize and appreciate Peter David’s run on the Hulk series。 Not ever issue is a winner， but the ratio of very good to excellent far surpasses the mediocre。 Art at times is shaky， but I grew to appreciate Jeff Purvis when inked by Marie Severin over the flashier Todd McFarlane since they could tell a better story and not focus on splash pages and manga-esque versions of Bruce Banner and Betty。 However， I’m here for the writing， and truly David was at his best Not much to say here other than to recognize and appreciate Peter David’s run on the Hulk series。 Not ever issue is a winner， but the ratio of very good to excellent far surpasses the mediocre。 Art at times is shaky， but I grew to appreciate Jeff Purvis when inked by Marie Severin over the flashier Todd McFarlane since they could tell a better story and not focus on splash pages and manga-esque versions of Bruce Banner and Betty。 However， I’m here for the writing， and truly David was at his best on this series。 。。。more

Editorial quibbles:Where's Iron Man #247？ It should have been in between Incredible Hulk #360 and #361。 #368 could have easily been punted to vol。 2。Why's the story from Marvel Comics Presents out of continuity order？ That's the great thing about an omnibus; you can put it in a better place， say alongside the other MCP story before Incredible Hulk #357。 Editorial quibbles:Where's Iron Man #247？ It should have been in between Incredible Hulk #360 and #361。 #368 could have easily been punted to vol。 2。Why's the story from Marvel Comics Presents out of continuity order？ That's the great thing about an omnibus; you can put it in a better place， say alongside the other MCP story before Incredible Hulk #357。 。。。more

Aunque tuvo sus altibajos， nunca me aburrió。 Me ha servido para entender mejor al personaje， y espero， como preludio a lo que muchos alegan como la mejor parte del run de David que justamente empieza unos 10 números después de este Omnibus。 La dualidad Hulk/Banner empieza a explorarse y también a darle una personalidad más definida al Hulk Gris （Mr。 Joe Fixit）。。。 lo que creo que luego se explicará a más detalle。

Joe Fixit is a freaking psychopath。 This was fun， but as with other comics from decades ago， you may need to be an expert to understand what makes it so awesome。 A casual reader like me can just go by what he or she reads at the time。 And for me， it was fine。 Nothing earth shattering， but still fun。 But yeah。 Joe is a psychopath。

Remember back when comic authors had to continue on the stories of their predecessors， rather than getting a brand-new volume where they could throw out everything and start anew？ Well， that was PAD's Hulk back in 1997， where he had to deal with a hulkified Rick Jones， a non-hulkified Bruce Banner， and a base of Hulkbusters。The start of PAD's run （#328-346） is a little chaotic， as he figures out how to put the pieces into a more traditional shape， but we soon have Bruce Banner as the Hulk on the Remember back when comic authors had to continue on the stories of their predecessors， rather than getting a brand-new volume where they could throw out everything and start anew？ Well， that was PAD's Hulk back in 1997， where he had to deal with a hulkified Rick Jones， a non-hulkified Bruce Banner， and a base of Hulkbusters。The start of PAD's run （#328-346） is a little chaotic， as he figures out how to put the pieces into a more traditional shape， but we soon have Bruce Banner as the Hulk on the run from the military across the country。 The same 'ole story， yes？But even in these early issues， PAD does something different。 We get the Hulk as a real character， not just a force of nature， and we get the beginning of the story of a Banner with a splintered mind。 Meanwhile， PAD steps up a few plot elements that he brings to an explosive conclusion in #346: A reborn， scarier Leader and the idea of the government making new Gamma Bombs。 They're solid plot elements， and the storytelling is generally good。What comes next is probably what most people remember about PAD's run: Joe Fixit in Las Vegas （#347-363ish）， and it's hard to believe that the heart of that era was just a year's worth of storytelling！ PAD does a great job of creating a new foundation for The Hulk unlike anything before， full of gangsters， a new love interest， and Vegas！ Of course the most interesting part is that Hulk is continuing to become more of his own character and more obviously an alternate personality of Bruce， which means we're really heading toward PAD's mental opus magnum。Unfortunately， the first few issues of the Joe Fixit arc are dragged down by crossovers and then after the end of an interesting arc involving Glorian， the arc fizzles out in another series of one-offs and crossovers （#360-363）， including what feels like a fill-in Betty issue and guest-star issues with Iron Man， Werewolf by Night， and Acts of Vengeance。The final major arc of this volume is "Countdown" （#364-367）， which brings back the Leader as if the whole Vegas storyline was just a sideline — which it sort of was， if a memorable one。 PAD does a good job of creating both the Leader's new mob of Gamma monsters， and Madman， a monster with a different origin。 It's a good bookend to PAD's first storyline。Overall， PAD's early run is somewhat hard to review twenty years later。 It's not yet as great as some of his most memorable runs， like the hilarious X-factor or the just-fun Young Justice， but we have to remember that this was a Hulk like none before it — and still an enjoyable read。 。。。more

Peter David's 12-year run on the Incredible Hulk still holds up， over two decades since its first publication。 This is not your childlike savage green Hulk of the 70s: this is the original， crafty and devious gray Hulk of 1962， revisited in the 80s。 These stories set the bar for all subsequent Hulk stories， and the influence is still felt even today in Al Ewing's Immortal Hulk。 Worth reading and re-reading。 Peter David's 12-year run on the Incredible Hulk still holds up， over two decades since its first publication。 This is not your childlike savage green Hulk of the 70s: this is the original， crafty and devious gray Hulk of 1962， revisited in the 80s。 These stories set the bar for all subsequent Hulk stories， and the influence is still felt even today in Al Ewing's Immortal Hulk。 Worth reading and re-reading。 。。。more
