[Sarg92]

I had made one before but it was deleted or locked, so I expect the same fate for this thread!

 

[Kirk Langstrom]

Anybody ever read Peter David's Hulk: What Savage Beast? That novel kicks ass!

 

[Kirmit]

I was thinking about buying that, can you give me the gist of it?

 

[Nivek]

What Savage Beast was going to be what happened with the Hulk if Heroes Reborn didn't happen.

Spoiler

After he is cured and can live his life in a normal setting, Bruce and Betty await the birth of their children. Then his world is ripped apart with the return of the Maestro. And we see Dystopia and the Future we seen in Future Imperfect changed, but still the same. We also see the first Banner child in action.

This is probably the best Hulk novel outside of continuity I have ever read.

Sounds good *orders from amazon* t:.

Who is everyone's favourite artist for drawing the Hulk? I'm quite partial to Mike Deodato's interpretation.

 

[Nivek]

I've been reading alot from my essential Hulk comic collections, and I must remark how much I like Marie Severin's art as an early influence. But as far as recent artists, I like Keown, Frank, Frenz, and some more of the traditional guys. Deodato has his times, but I despise artists when they cant keep characters in scale. Deodato had the Hulk holding Nadia and Betty Blue in one hand for crying out loud.

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

Who goes green?

 

[Clobberin' Time]

Greg Land draws a great Hulk.

I agree about the scale, when he picked Nadia up he was nearly as big as the house, as far as design goes though it was pretty kool.

Sal Buscema.

 

[HULKFish]

No one has ever compared to Dale Keown IMO, loved Kubert's work though.

 

[Spider-Vader]

I'm not that familiar with Hulk, what's the story behind Grey Hulk?

[Spade]

Originally, the Hulk was gray. Printing problems led to a change of his color in the comics to the more popular green variety, but eventually the Gray Hulk came back as one of Banner's multiple Hulk personalities. For the most part, people remember him as Joe Fixit because of his time spent as a bodyguard in Vegas (the Gray Hulk is intelligent, as strong as the Hulk is w/o rage, etc.).

As far as my favorite Hulk artist goes, it's hard to say. I respect Kirby's original look for the Hulk, but I haven't seen anything that tops Deodato's version of the Hulk. He just looks like how the comic book Hulk should be: angry, veiny, and perpetually ready to smash.

 

[Spider-Vader]

Hmmm...Okay.

 

[irapogi]

Did anyone read "the end"
Where Banner's the last living being on earth.
So essentially, it was one big monlogue, but it was cool because Banner couldn't kill himself
and there was a great duality between banner and hulk
Great love/hate jekyl/hyde insights. Was just wondering who else read it, and what you guys thought.

 

[irapogi]

Here's the cover, and some wiki-info on it.
It's a great read, but i don't think it's part of canon.

 

[Judson Caspian]

Sal Buscema.

Damn right.

Here's a shot of Eric Allan Kramer as Thor, a fresh contribution to The Incredible Hulk Returns.

– Hey cab!

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

Is that for reals!?!

 

[irapogi]

someone should include a screencap with daredevil. Cos i remember he was there too

 

[Spade]

Yup. Here's a clip:

Oh yeah. Tragically cool.

 

[Judson Caspian]

I love it when Donald Blake is taking Thor to a MC bar.

 

[swataz]

Sal Buscema.

I second that one.

I also dug the Ernie Chan embellishments on Sal's art.

 

[joefixit2]

Incredible Hulk issues 200-225 were the best Sal' books. Classic Hulk!
