Going in with little knowledge to the Hulk's longstanding storylines (apart from the basics and what the adapted works have included), I will say that this run did a great job of filling in the blanks and getting the ready caught up to speed on the recent events that occurred prior to this story. I think it needed 1 or 2 more issues in the series to get a more detailed feel, but otherwise I enjoyed this collection. Always happy to see when Tony Stark and Reed Richards are exposed asbeing the worst dudes in the Marvel Universe even if it's as simple as being terrible friends.
