Peter David's Hulk Run.

[ChrisCollins]

I've heard a lot of good things about David's Hulk. I was thinking about getting the first Peter David Hulk Visionaries trade which covers 331-339 of Incredible Hulk. I'm placing an amazon order and am going back and forth between this or the Batman: Long Haloween trade.

I read this book a couple of weeks ago, and was really not all that impressed. I have liked Davids' Star Trek novels that I have read. I have never been much of a Hulk fan, so I guess maybe this character truely is not for me. I did feel that things started to get interesting in the last couple of issues of the trade, and would pick up the second volume if I found it at the library.

Doesn't really get good til 377

377-425 are fantastic
then it gets a little weird, then gets good again after 440 or so.

I had heard similar review. I guess they've got a way to go with these visionaries trades before it gets to the good stuff. I read the last year and a half of his first run and it was pretty good, so I was looking to for more of the same.

PAD's run was great, but it had a few lame stories. Here's one of PAD's classics:

Possibly the greatest one-shot Marvel Comic of the 90's. I think I've read and reread that issue a hundred times. Make sure you pick up Future imperfect which takes place directly before.

Hell yes. Future Imperfect is spectacular.

If you haven't ordered it already go for Long Halloween. I bought the first two volumes of Peter David's stuff, but it didn't do much for me.

Honestly, I purchased a lot containing most of PAD's back issues on eBay a few years ago and read them, and I found I liked the book much more with each passing issue. The "Joe Fixit" era from circa #340-377 or thereabouts was interesting, but not my favorite era. However, right around #370 or so the book really starts humming, and it soon kicks into my favorite Hulk era of all time, the Pantheon era from #377 to 425. Then it kinda meanders a bit, but makes a comeback during the last year or so of PAD's run, with what I'd describe as the single most satisfying ending to any creator's run on a given title ever.

I can understand your reluctance, though...all I can say is as with most writers who do work for hire, it takes a bit to find their voice and style, but when they do, it's classic stuff. :)

I have all of that in issue form and by god does it rule

It builds and eventually gets to the awesome after a few miss fires.

I defintily liked it better than Long Halloween though
