Hulk's First Epic Collection is Incredible By Stephen Vincent Kempton Marvel's first Incredible Hulk Epic Collection is surprisingly a continuation of an old series of trades Marvel Visionary Peter David which attempted to reprint all of Peter David's excellent and lengthy run on The Incredible Hulk. These collections started in 2004 and volume #8 of Marvel Visionary Peter David came out in 2011. Now after four years this volume continues right where that series left off.This collection includes Hulk #397 to Hulk #406 plus two Hulk Annuals #18 and #19 . Plus a story from Marvel Holiday Special #2 and portions of three other Annuals which featured the continuation of The Defenders Return storyline. All of these originally cover dated 1992 and 1993.The good news for any of you that bought the Epic Collection just prior to this Daredevil: Widow's Kiss is that Marvel had gone back to thicker pulpy white paper and not continued with the glossy ultra thin stock paper. We also get numbered pages again, which were also missing from the DD volume. In all this book contains 470 pages all sharply printed in beautiful color.Here is my one format suggestion . A single Who's Who page after the contents page would be very helpful. Peter David's books feature a Giant size supporting cast. Knowing who all the members of The Pantheon are would have increased my enjoyment since they are integral to the story.The book starts out with Hulk Annual #18 . Well in 1992 and for several years prior Marvel had been boosting their lagging Annual sales by doing crossovers. So we get the main story which is the first part of the Return of The Defenders story and four small stories. The smaller stories range greatly in quality. The best is the lead story by Peter David and Travis Charest which is the Hulk Vs. The Thing. The other not as successful stories are built around the Hulk's supporting cast with one each for Rick Jones, The Pantheon and Doc Sampson.As for the main story in Hulk Annual #18 it is beginning of The Return Of The Defenders. Part one is by Peter David and Kevin Maguire. It is a very fun story with Rick Jones getting a Sub-Mariner personality. Now here is the strange part Marvel also reprints parts 2, 3 and 4 from the Sub-Mariner, Silver Surfer and Doctor Strange Annuals . This is strange because previously in these connected Annuals the Epic Collection had only reprinted the lead character chapter and given you either a recap or a some text telling you how it finishes. See Captian Americs : Streets Of Poison. This turns out to be a Catch-22 . If they had not reprinted it, I would have been disappointed since David's first chapter was so good. But now having read it I wish they would not have included it. The next three chapters are pretty darn bad and almost incomprehensible. I normally like Ron Marz and Roy Thomas but this is a train wreck. The art also takes a big plunge. This is the low piont of the volume.That's OK , because it rebounds nicely with Peter David's return and the five part Ghosts Of The Past storyline which runs from Hulk #397 through the oversized Hulk #400 which has two chapters. Dale Keown pencils parts 1 and 2, Jan Duuresma on parts 3 and 4 and Chris Bachalo on part 5.This Ghosts Of The Past story involves The Leader , The U-foes and the death of Rick Jones girlfriend Marlo. Peter David reveals that he wrote this poignant story while recovering from his own loss when a friend died.Bobbi Chase or who ever edited this original issue of Hulk #400 should be embarrassed with the contents page reprinted here on page 223. First it lists the pin-up reprinted on page 264 as being by Ernie Colon , it is not, instead it is the work of Ernie Chan (also know as Ernie Chua ). Then it says Mark Farmer's pin-up on page 224 is Hulk and Juggernaut when it is clearly Rhino instead.In Hulk #401 (still penciled by Jan Duuresma ) loose ends are tied up with U-foes. Also Agamemnon goes on walkabout and the Hulk is put in charge of The Pantheon.Next we get the three part story running in Hulk #402 through Hulk #404. It guest stars The Avengers and features the Red Skull and the Juggernaut as villains. With issue #403 Gary Frank becomes the new regular artist.In Hulk #405 the Hulk must resolve a love triangle in The Pantheon. While Hulk #406 features the return of Doc Sampson and guests Captain America. Plus we get a resolution to the Marlo sub-plot.Next we get another Hulk Annual this one #19. Well in 1993 Marvel had finally gotten over the crossovers and moved on to Polly Bagged Trading Cards as a gimmick. Each Annual debuted a new villain and that villain got a trading card and at least one story. Hulk's totally forgettable villain was Lazarus. We get Two Hulk versus Lazarus stories then a fun little story by Green Hornet Scribe Ron Fortier about a town named Hulk.We close out with a Doc Sampson story from Marvel Holiday Special #2. Plus we get an additional fourteen pages of extras like ads, pin-ups , original art and a Hembeck story.Peter David's time on Hulk marks a very long stretch of High Quality on the Hulk book. I hope Marvel reprints more later stuff and re-collects the Early Marvel Visionary books as Epic Collections. This is a fantastic era for Greenskins and should be in print for everyone to read.My Highest Recommendation.

I am not a fan of Maguire's loose cartoonish art style and I never particularly enjoy the silly "oh my By Graham G I've been reading the Incredible Hulk Epic Ghost of the Past by Peter David this past week and these stories really take me back to my early high school comic book collecting days! I haven't read these issues since they were originally published over 20 years ago! Below are some of my takeaways:The annual crossover stories at the beginning of this volume are as weak as I remember them. I am not a fan of Maguire's loose cartoonish art style and I never particularly enjoy the silly "oh my! I have someone else's brain in my body!" shtick they pull with Namor and Rick Jones. I skimmed the Hulk chapter, then skipped the Namor, Dr. Strange, and Silver Surfer annuals totally before diving straight into the Incredible Hulk issues.I'd forgotten how much of a horror movie slant the Ghost of the Past arc had at the time and it holds up remarkably well in re-reading. I can still recall the disappointment I felt when Dale Keown left the book immediately before the big 400th anniversary issue for greener pastures over at Image Comics. To me, Keown is one of my all time favorite Hulk artists (along with Gary Frank also featured in this volume!) Keown really set the standard for the Hulk's visuals in the early 1990s. Surprisingly however, Jan Duursema's art holds up remarkably well, far better than I recall it doing so. You can see she was trying to ape Keown's style in a few areas but it's sold storytelling and really hits the emotional story beats when required. Considering the dark nature of the content in the early issues, that's no small task. By the end of the volume, Gary Frank comes on board, the book looks great again, reads great, & we the readers get an extremely emotionally satisfying ending.This volume sums up nicely what I miss so much about Peter David's Hulk comics compared to modern Hulk comics: Great artwork, with an equally great cast of characters & story that never takes its readers intelligence for granted. The subplots pay off gradually and organically, nothing is rushed, and in the end the reader feels satisfied and completely invested in the characters. Keep 'em coming Marvel! I'd buy one Hulk by David volume a month!

You get the end of Dale Keown's stunning run and the beginning of Gary Frank's brilliant turn on the book. It's bookended by 2 crummy stories from Hulk annuals.
