Ultimate Hulk is ultimate fun!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I've always been a Hulk fan, but I lent it to my boyfriend and nade him a convert as well. Favorite story: "The Samson Journals" by Ken Grobe. A story about the guy who psychoanalyzes ALL THREE of the Hulk's personalities. Pretty cool. Dennis Brabham's take on Rick Jones was great too. Let's see another of these anthologies soon!
good luck at the Hulk's history
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
The Hulk has probably had the most complicated history of any Marvel superhero, and this anthology covers all of it. I wish there were more of the "merged Hulk" -- he only gets one story, and it's the good-but-not-great "Playing it SAFE" by Keith R.A. DeCandido. Peter David's "The Last Titan" is really really really really great, the perfect ending to his decade writing the Hulk comic. And there isn't a bad story in the entire book -- even the usually-awful Danny Fingeroth's story is good -- and three great ones (by Dennis Brabham, Ken Grobe, and Steve Lyons). I only wish Jason Henderosn, who wrote the fantastic novel _Abominations_, had done a story.
The Hulk's History in a great anthology book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
This volume of short stories was published just as Peter David ended his long run as writer of The Incredible Hulk, so his last Hulk story "The Last Titan" is his way of saying farewell to the character. I liked most of the stories in this book. Pierce Askegren, Glenn Greenberg, and Keith R.A. DeCandido were among the good writers who contributed to the anthology. It covers the early days of the Hulk from his birth in a gamma bomb explosion to a possible future time when an older Hulk faces the end of the world. I hope some of the writers who worked on these short stories get to write future Hulk novels.
