Hulk Season One : the Graphic Novel

The hulk is hands down my favorite superhero , so while it's. Nice to see him get his own graphic novel, is there really a need for a reselling or re envisioning of this origin story no matte what spin or angle you use?

The art inside is nothing spectacular at times it reminds me of one of the cruder jobs done in the heavy metal comic in the seventies , a big part of this is I. Howthe villian is drawn, and in a retelling to introduce a brand new villian of sorts seems unneeded but then again I'd it didn't have in earth 616 continuity then it didn't happen so it's as useless as far as adding to the characters mythos.

With that said there is a lot of smashing and it is rather fun as the recent issues of banner hulk have been weighed down by the mess Jason Aaron has made. Like a conversation I overheard I the comic book store where a girl lamented she no longer read Wonderwoman as she felt the Wonderwoman who appeared in JLa, was a better representation of the character than how Diana was represented In her own book , is how I am beginning to feel With the past years hulk, so if you are a hulk fan then this graphic novel, might be a good fix to make up for some of the fumbling writing of late.

Who knows what this reboot will bring , Waid has said he is not bringing in any of the classic Hulk villains , which in some ways is what the book needs to ground it the return of the leader, sure abomination is dead but is he really? And amped up Rhino?

Sure those stories have been done before just like even in the remaining here in this graphic novel things change in the periphery but it's a classic hulk story at the heart which is what made it a fun read, I think the classic takes on the hulk cn be given a different angle in continuity, which aside from the d/c earth one competition marvel ight be trying to go for on tho sort of things I'm not sure why some non continuity had to occur.

So if you miss old school and by that I'm mean Kirby era Hulk then you will love this as long as you aren't like me and such a continuity nazi, I liked seeing Betty and thunderbolt when there was nothing red about them, which whenevery one is a hulk then how can being a hulk be that incredible?
