I didn't read Western comics as a child and I don't like superhero movies now. In that regard I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed these comics -- that is, at all. The art is quite good, especially the saturated color and storyboard-style panel framing. The frequent off-modeling is excusable as it's a body horror story. The Hulk’s original series was canceled after issue #6, but it was not the end. The character immediately guest-starred in multiple titles, and became a founding member of the Avengers. The adventures continue as the Hulk became one of two features in the anthology Tales To Astonish, before resuming in Incredible Hulk.The entirety of Al Ewing's Hulk masterpiece, called one of the greatest comic books of all time, collected in an omnibus! Smashing Alert! At that point, we have two crossover events— Fall of the Hulks& World War Hulks—that ran throughout the ongoing Hulk and Incredible Hulk series, as well as a self-titled limited series; featuring the Hulk and various members of his supporting cast.

I don’t fully understand his motivations. I can’t root for the Hulk all the time either (though it often seems easier than Banner). It’s hard to put my finger on it, just none of it really captivates me or feels fully of consequence. It’s interesting, because the immortality angle seems to work against this title, while I find it captivating in the X-Men titles now. The Peter David era was so massive, Marvel had to relaunch the Hulk series once it ended. It was technically The Incredible Hulk vol. 2, but vol. 3 didn’t start immediately. First, there was Hulk Reborn for a year (11 issues), then it was renamed The Incredible Hulk vol. 3.The art is perfect and does an awe-inspiring job of depicting the massive muscles of the Hulk, and I was particularly engrossed when the Hulk was embroiled in combat or transformation. I could see the sinew in each foot, and the Hulk always looks impossibly strong—it is very striking. At that point in time, with Avengers Vol. 4 #7 (collected in Avengers, Vol. 2), Red Hulk has joined The Avengers.
