Incredible Hulk by Peter David Omnibus Vol. 3
by Marvel Comics
Video Review! - https://youtu.be/GVsi9TheDBo
We're now deep into Peter David's Legendary run on the Green Monster and damn, is it fucking good.
This volume starts off with a Bang as we deal with the aftermath of the last Omnibus storyline. For slight spoilers ahead, Marlo faith was left up in the air after Hulk dealt with The Leader. It was a choice he had to make and one he doubted himself. Now we deal with Rick Jones going slightly insane due to the loss of his girlfriend to Hulk and Betty trying to work out their shit, to eventually Hulk taking over the Pantheon.
This section of the Hulk being the leader to the Pantheon is pretty crazy. Watching the Hulk lead ANYONE is insane. But somehow Professor Hulk trying to balance this crazy team out with their own set of issues is wonderful to watch. Rick Jones melodrama storyline, which is pointed out to be melodrama, is also really sweet and a wedding that is too cute for words. Overall we needed this to help balance out the more over the top and epic fights.
On top of that Hulk is trying to deal with, you know it, his anger issues. This leads to eventually boiling over into the Future Imperfect storyline which is easily the stepping block for Hulk to face his true inner issues. This leads to the eventual Fall of Pantheon which is not a spoiler as it's the name of the storyline and trade paperback. It's intense and leaves hulk with a whole new status quo by the end.
The very last part of the book is more Betty and Banner (as professor hulk still) trying to hide from people and live their life independent of all the superhero mumble jumbo. It's a nice change of pace for Peter David to go in and leaves for some great one shots or two parters. Overall this is a lot of fun for being different than the rest.
There's a bunch of great issues here but this is also over a 1000 pages so got some duds. The worst offender for me was probably the mystical god storyline with Loki. Just boring and felt overly long and out of place with the rest of the volume. There's one or two single issues too that failed to stick the landing but they were here or there.
The strongest volume yet for me in this 5 book collection for Peter David. While volume 1 was a 3.5, and volume 2 was a 4, this is a 4.5 out of 5 for me. Some of the best Hulk stories I've ever read are placed in this book. So if you're a hulk fan, do yourself a favor and start reading this!
