Hulk Books

Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone is reading any of the Hulk books that have come out over the last 2 years. I know that the red Hulk story had some people unhappy with Loeb's work, but I think it reads better the second time.

Also, the Red Hulk will officially be taking over the "Hulk" title with Jeff Parker writing. It looks to me like more of a sci-fi adventure than Loeb's stuff, and even the way Hardman is will be drawing it might work out.

All this is going on while the "Incredible Hulks" will be like a Gamma Super Team in the other Hulk book.

I think now is a good time to start up with the Hulk, so I was wondering if anyone reads or was planning on giving it a shot.

I've been picking up the Red Hulk books on sale ($5 a piece) at my comic shop. I really dug the series, although I'm only up to book 3. I know who he is, but I thought the mystery was kind of neat for the length they were able to keep it. DOwnside is it kind of felt cheap, but oh well.

Now, a really fun thing to do is to go back, after reading those, and read the Marvel Essentials "The Rampaging Hulk" collections. Those are great.

Hmm. I just purchased an old copy of the Hulk Collection DVD from Amazon with about 40 years worth of Hulk Comics. I'm starting from the beginning but maybe I'll take your advice amd skip a little. I was honestly never really that into the Hulk, but I caught the Red Hulk from the first issue of the Hulk book by Loeb, and really fell in love with the whole Hulk universe. now I'm trying to own everything Rulk from the ground up. If you ever wanna review anything as a guest on my blog let me know!

Sure thing, I'm a huge Rulk fan. If you ever find any weird/obscure items, let me know. As of now, i only have the 3.5 inch scale figure. The Build a figure looked most like McGuinness' drawings, but too costly. And the Marvel Select one didn't seem great.

It's pretty good.

About 200 bucks, but it is HUGE! And looks more like McG than the Bowen one! I'm so glad I waited for this one.

Yeah, I was trying to win the Fall of the Hulks statue over at UGO today. No go. That statue is awesome though. I love the grinning head.

That's my favorite part of it too. I don;t think there are any left. My LCS had an extra one for the store but it was damaged and now Koto said they can only give them a credit. A few of my friends stil lhaven't gotten their's on back order and probably won't
