If the point of a comic book is to entertain, Peter David’s Incredible Hulk succeeded. I even took one volume on vacation with me and read it at a friend’s house. I enjoyed them enough to set any other comics aside for a couple of weeks and plow through these instead. I grabbed the first three volumes (2-4, as number 1 wasn’t there) and figured I could come back later for the rest. And, right in the middle, I saw a half-dozen volumes of Marvel Visionaries: Peter David. A couple of weeks ago, I saw a row of Incredible Hulk trades on a library book shelf. But I had never read the run that had earned him more accolades than any other: his work on the Incredible Hulk. I loved his Young Justice, admired his Spider-Man 2099, enjoyed his Spyboy and still love his X-Factor right now. His Captain Marvel was one of my favorite titles at the time. In this case, I’m talking about the adventures he’s written. And I’ve read plenty of his adventures before. But I can’t say that the Hulk is a character I’ve followed or ever cared all that much about. Oh, I have a few issues of the Hulk: some from the late ‘90s that received as free give-a-ways and a couple I had read as a child guest-starring the Soviet Super Soldiers. And I’ve never really read his adventures before.
