Peter David was hailed as the greatest Hulk writer ever. Al Ewing Hulk is also considered now as to be the best, or atleast one of the best. Reading the current Immortal Hulk I'm in agreement, it's amazing. So I had to go back in time and read Peter David's to see if it lived up to the hype. Did it? Well it's starting to.

I'll admit the opening feels jarring. Apperently Peter David had to finish up a arc that had already begun so this is a weird start with another character, not Bruce Banner, being the hulk. The hulkbusters (not the Ironman hulkbuster) are a group of hulk haters and hunting him down. Soon into the arc Peter David introduces Gray Hulk. All the power of the hulk but not stupid either.

After the first shaky arc we settle into one shots and two shots. Vary in quality, The X-men one being the worst but still somehow fun and cheesy. Then we have a one shot of a killer on the loose and Hulk shows him what a REAL monster is. We have one of a creature who is basically like the angel of death, coming for hulk. We have Bruce also dealing with his wife and trying to balance his life but the Gray Hulk doesn't want to be apart of that shit.

What really works well, despite the aging of this, is you care about the characters. Sure some slang is super outdated, fights look silly, but the horrifying moments of Hulk's unsettling rage, Bruce's fight to be normal, betty's love being shattered, and more all work really well.

I hear it only gets better from here, and for that I'm super excited. But even as it stands here, it's pretty solid storylines. A 3.5 but I'll bump it to a 4.
