Anyways, I like Jones's stories overall, but sometimes the dialouge seems like he is trying to be too intelligent instead of natural dialouge...

Well... some of the characters are scientents and are really smart... that's why tey speak that way.... I guess

Looks awesome as usual. BTW, who does the Hulk covers?

 

[Hulkophile]

Kaare Andrews. He's been doing the covers since #34. He should have his own book IMO.

Definitely.

Not a fan of how he's drawing the Abomination, though.

Has anyone heard if there will be a HULK HC Vol II coming out? I know if it does it will be after the current story arc. I would rather just pick up the HC than the individual issues.

Man I sure hope so!

What issues does the 1st Hulk HC have in it? I have the Return of the Monster TPB(issues 34-39) and the Boiling Point TPB(issues 40-43) but I would really like the HC.

Also, What issue did Bruce Jones begin his run on Incredible Hulk? I can't remember.

I'm not sure when Jones began writing Hulk, the HC is the first Hulk book (comic or otherwise) that I have bought.

If I remember correctly (I have the book at home), it has all those issues you just listed plus four more, I think it was called Banner 1-4. Basically SPOILERS...






















Dr. Banner dies at the end or at least it's implied. Thanks to Doc Swanson (sp?)

Thanks. I would really like to sell both my the Return of the Monster TPB and the Boiling Point TPB. I'll sell them for $12 for THEM BOTH($6 bucks each) if anyone wants them. They are in perfect condition.

Bruce Jones' first issue was #34.

Thanks Hulkophile!

 

[Spider-Hulk]

Thats right, Im buying the Hulk again, I bought issue 50 today and have read it twice, its amazing, I really like it, I would never have belived it possible that one day Bruce Banner would sleep with the wife of his greatest rival....Abomination but it happened!

As for beating up those guys who came in looking for trouble, wow, where did "puny Banner" get the strength to do that? I was sad that Hulk didnt appear in it, but by the same token its good that Banner is being allowed to develop a little bit now, which is a good thing. But just dont overdo it.

There are some things Im not clear on so if any of the more older readers could bail me out a second here....Last time I checked Banner had a terminal illness, but it looks like hes cured now yes?
Secondly does the Grey Hulk appear in the comics now or is it Green(Savage) Hulk orientated. Lastly, What about the Merged(Professor) Hulk has he been around or is he likely to return?

Im looking forward to 51 now, stopping collecting the Hulk was the biggest mistake of my comic life one Im not gonna repeat.

He did. Spider-Man: Legend of the Spider-Clan. It was a mini-series What If? type of story. It just ended, actually.

Forget I said anything. Turns out Kaare Andrews was the writer of Legend of the Spider-Clan and someone else drew it. He just drew the covers.

Don't you just hate having to do that. I'm currently selling my two Ultimate X-Men TPBs to pick up the Ultimate X-Men Hardcover on Amazon.com. I'll probably end up getting about six bucks each for it.

From the last story, apparently, Banner can access the Hulk's strength without transforming. How much strength hasn't been revealed yet.

So far during Bruce Jones' run, the Hulk hasn't had many appearances, which is starting to ruffle some long-time fans' feathers. As for myself (twelve year collector), I'm enjoying the direction of the book. I don't mind that the Hulk isn't in every issue. But you're right, it shouldn't be overdone. But I think with Mike Deodato on board, the Hulk should be popping up more.

There are some things Im not clear on so if any of the more older readers could bail me out a second here....Last time I checked Banner had a terminal illness, but it looks like hes cured now yes?

You're right. He was cured back in #32. The story involved the Ant Man minimizing himself and going into Banner's body to save him.

Secondly does the Grey Hulk appear in the comics now or is it Green(Savage) Hulk orientated. Lastly, What about the Merged(Professor) Hulk has he been around or is he likely to return?

As soon as Paul Jenkins left the book and Bruce Jones was ushered in, the multiple personality aspect of the story disappeared. Maybe it'll be touched on in the future, as TIH #54's cover shows the "bald Hulk" fighting "hair Hulk" .

Im looking forward to 51 now, stopping collecting the Hulk was the biggest mistake of my comic life one Im not gonna repeat.

Good to know you'll be sticking around! I've had discussions with other collectors that absolutely hate the direction the book has taken (Comic Boards). But I think I'm in the minority when it comes to long-time collectors that actually enjoy the book now.

BTW, #51 will be out tomorrow (3/12/03).

I'm another long-time collector(17 years) that actually loves the new direction Jones is taking with Hulk. Sure, I'd like to see a few slug-fests but the new direction is Fresh and very well written.

 

[Spider-Hulk]

its quite good, considering Im not up to speed as I stopped collecting at 450 something, now at issue 50 Im seing a whole new aspect, to Hulk, is new and nice, definately a nice touch.

Lets take a quick vote how badly is Abomination gonna beat on Banner/Hulk when he catches up with him?

Also tapping the Hulks Strength w/out transforming all the way is good in a sense, as Banner can be the hero once in a while, kinda nice.

Better get down the comic shop 2moro then for 51 dont wanna miss out any more.

by not finishing "loes" it could mean loves or lothes

Bald Hulk?
Hair Hulk?

Its gonna take me a while to get to grips with all the incarnations again!

yeah, what's with the bald Hulk on the covers of Hulk/Wolverine: 6 Hours??

 

[Hulkophile]

Bald Hulk- A fugitive Banner shaves his head so he won't be recognizeable. Some how, whenever the Hulk appeared, he to was bald. This Hulk resembled nothing of past incarnations. He doesn't speak or even growl. Some people refer to him as "zombie Hulk", seeing how the only thing he did was throw a police car, punch Samson out of a diner, and knock over a building. He's similar to the mute Hulk around #'s 468-474, but that Hulk at least spoke some and showed more intellect than the bald Hulk.

"Hair Hulk"- The Hulk speaks! In #49, the Hulk actually speaks and has hair, as Banner's hair has also grown in. He resembles the merged/Professor Hulk the most (his "look" and the way he talked), so it's quite possible that that persona has returned. So maybe #54 just might touch on the MPD aspect, if the story does in fact follow the cover of course. Plus, the Abomination story concludes that issue, too. So who knows..?

BTW, I was being funny when I said "hair Hulk".

I read somewhere that Issue #54 is supposed to be an all out brawl from cover to cover.

 

[Spider-Hulk]

Stop me if Im wrong but how in the blue hell can the professor/merged hulk be a seperate persona of his own? The Professor was a product of hypnosis combining Banner/Grey Hulk/and Green Hulk into one. I appreciate that I have been out for a while now, but previously I knew the incarnations its a little weird now.

The hair Hulk I dont think seems to be like the Classic Savage Hulk, maybe it is meant to be the professor. Golly, at least I recognised Bruce Banner when I saw him, so at least Im thankful for that.

One other thing I cant remember the professor ever transforming and http://www.incrediblehulk.com/ says that he didnt, also I read on an old site called hulk-emm, that the professor does not have the whole "madder hulk get" strength increase his base is at 100 tons.

Note: to the people at marvel, bring back the old Hulk incarnations please!

 

[STINK-E]

Damn, issue #51 was a great read!

What did everyone think of Deodato's Hulk? I thought it looked pretty cool. I really loved his work on the Abomination. The close-up when Abomination is about to bite off S-3's head look great!
