many fights the x-men team up with the
other heroes and even villains in an
attempt to bring hulk to justice writer
john arcuti keeps the action bold and

lost his own wife eventually Betty’s
father manipulates banner into changing
into the Hulk in order to seek revenge
and one of the most awesome fight scenes
in the Hulk’s career ensues
got the other one Paul Jenkins is

and John Romita Jr skilled artwork pulls
no punches
Oh

fighting off savage subatomic creatures
he is regarded by the microscopic people
as a hero he also becomes enamored with
their princess who finds a way to both
communicate with him and to bring Bruce
banners mind into control of the Hulk’s
body naturally this idyllic situation
can’t last and the Hulk is forcibly
pulled back into his own world Hulk’s

a compact marvel of fine storytelling

not gonna work up for everyone Peter
David’s 11-year run on the Hulk was
filled with amazing stories none more so
than this his final issue Betty Ross
Bruce banners wife is dead and this tale
leaps forward 10 years into a
hypothetical future in a wrenching story
of what might have come after Betty’s
death Peter David pens a tale in which
Bruce Banner repeatedly tries to kill
himself only to have the Hulk foil his
every efforts the sale was just in case

number 5 crossroads
Belmont low is another writer who left
an indelible stamp on the Hulk and

and senseless dimension of the
crossroads montolo takes Hulk on a
year-long journey through strange
bizarre worlds and beings yet his
