Bruce Jones' Hulk

[Paladin]

I think his take has been pretty good. I've read people's posts who weren't pleased. Did Peter David receive any criticisms when he first started writing the Hulk?

I haven't read his Hulk yet, but I just recently bought and read the old EC ripoffs "Twisted Tales" and "Alien Worlds" that he did most of the writing for, and he's definitely a great writer.

FF, I just got a pile of Twisted Tales, Alien Worlds, and a BUNCH more from the old Pacific line! Great books! I love a good rip-off!

Oh, and Bruce Jones' Hulk is fair... of course, the Hulk has never exactly been a compelling character to me. Bruce's take has been interesting so far though, and after this last issue I can't wait to see the battle! Dammit, there had better be a battle ONE of these days. If not, I'm going to suggest that they start advertising the Hulk as a Big Green Brenda Starr.

Speaking of Bruce Jones' Hulk, I have the trade paperback that reprints the first 7 or 8 issues in color. Anyone interested? If so, please PM me!

Bruce Jones has been pretty good on the Hulk. Nothing spectacular though, and as MK has said we have hardly seen the big green guy much less seen him in action.

Jones has been doing a good job of building tension, but far too ponderously, its definately time for more ACTION.

The best thing about the run IMHO has been Kaere Andrews (sp?) amazing covers. Very innovative.

The covers have stood out. Very original stuff. Liked the "Hulk Pops" issue. I bought 2 copies. It was hilarious.

 

Deodato's art in issue 50 looked pretty darn good.

 

Even though as a whole I've enjoyed Jones run, I agree we should have a little more Hulk showing up.

 

Maybe he can give us a little back-from-the-dead-action and bring back Jarella. Loved that girl.
