Peter David continues his run with Hulk in this second volume, getting deeper into Banner's troubled past while letting the Green hulk show himself once more.

The start of this volume feels a little iffy but soon into it we get into the real meat of the story. Banner dealing with his past. I loved this arc where Banner is trying to connect Joe Fix and the green Monster while also having SOME type of control too. But to do that he also has to visit his past, what happened with his father, and mother. It's a great arc, really amplifies the mentality Banner has, and why these Hulk's were even created.

Then we get into professor hulk. This is Hulk with Banner in full control. Basically the strength of the green monster version but the smarts of Banner, leaving with a very interesting new version of the Hulk. He soon joins a group of "do gooders" to help behind the scenes but it might not actually be such a good group.

This was a lot of fun. I think I enjoyed it even more than the first. Bruce's evolution to professor hulk was great, and the stuff with him as Professor Hulk is pretty stellar. Betty gets a nice upgrade here with plenty of great characters moment. I also love that we have other supporting cast that get to shine here too.

I think Peter David has a lot of fun with this volume and the art stays strong throughout, even when it changes hands here or there. I'm hoping this run continues to be impressive.

A 4 out of 5.
