pickA beautifully tragic retelling of the first few days of the Hulk from a seasoned, but still traumatized, Banner to his psychiatrist friend. Not only does it tell a strong story of his past, but the psychiatric evaluation of events are subtle but very powerful. Hulk is drawn with exaggerated proportions, but of course Sale would know how to portray him as both innocent and terrifying. A brilliant entry to the Loeb/Sale Marvel colors series.
pickI liked this one more than the first book. Finally got the humor back and her breaking the fourth wall. In this story, a social media chef ingests something bad and turns him into a monster. Yes this was done on purpose by his film crew. What happens after that is just a cat and mouse game trying to find him before he gets worse. Wonderful graphic and good story.

#OnThisDay in 1962 Marvel Comics published the first issue of The Incredible Hulk. Originally, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby designed Hulk with grey skin, but throughout the colouring and printing process more green shades came out, and slowly over the years he became the vibrant green we associate with the character today. #HistoryGetsLIT
31/150 I was disappointed with the conclusion of the Immortal Hulk series. I don't feel like enough questions were answered, and after 50 issues, I don't think I know more about the Hulk (or Hulks since there are various ones for different aspects of Banner's personality) than I did at the first issue.
4th book for #KickTheSlump @DieAReader @GHABI4ROSES
so-soBruce Banner is killed and Jen Walters barely survives the events of the second civil war. Plagued by survivors‘ guilt and post traumatic stress disorder, she tries to rebuild her life and return to practicing law. This is a great theme and it is respectfully realized, however, I miss the adventures and smashing usually associated with the ‘Hulk‘ characters.
pickA decent intro to a story line where Banner and the Hulk try to coexist.
pick“Hulk smashes, Banner builds”. With this refrain Banner submits to employment with S.H.I.E.L.D., for his alter ego to be used as a targeted weapon in exchange for a lab and unlimited resources. Coming to terms with the indestructible (and inevitable) nature of the Hulk, Banner decides to use his intellect (and smashing ability) for the good of Humankind. Fantastic premise used for amazing stories peppered with iconic team-ups. Top notch!
