- The Hulk's first series was canceled after six issues, and everything could have ended right then and there, if a series of guest appearances hadn't turned things around and granted him new solo stories. From then on, the jade Goliath has become an iconic part of the Marvel Universe, through ups and lows, and has enjoyed a great many highly recommended runs. These are the every Hulk run, phase and series, and everything you need to know.

Thanks for the helpful vid, started with Byrne’s mini 5 issue run last night and can’t wait until I get into Peter David’s beginning soon!
WE NEED A "MR. FIX-IT" MOVIE! The Grey Hulk, at night, in a suit! It fits perfectly into the blip years. When attempting to fix his arm, Banner unknowingly creates the Grey Hulk. He thinks he heals and cures himself. Except, at night, he turns into JOE FIX-IT. Joe leaves Banner cryptic messages on the mirror. Have him fight The Leader, (to close the loop) while having to deal with Joe. To win, he must meld Banner, Green Hulk and Grey Hulk into the Hulk he is now. It writes itself! GIVE US "MR. FIX-IT!" Pass it on, please and thank you!
Please create playlist on your channel, after all you have made 1.8k videos on your channel, by the way I love your channel, thanks for the efforts
1.8k subs 😂, and 177 videos. I’ve created sections for videos, but I’ll put up playlists soon
Good videos, now it's time to make one of Spider-man
I’m gathering courage to tackle Spider-Man and Batman. It’s going to be as hard as the X-Men.
@@comicbelief: Take your time. Because I’ll be waiting. I’ve been trying to 100% those 2 for a loooooooooong time. They’re my favorites.
Depending on what I read, Hulk's early years are often either enjoyable or boring. What I loved most were the Steve Ditko stories, the first Hulk story and his fights with Abmunition, then Bill Mintlo's chapter, which tells the story of Bruce Banner as a child, and half of Peter David's run (I haven't finished it yet) after that. I read Planet Hulk and Hulk World War, which was very interesting. Technically, this is the second time I tried Hulk in the comics. Then came the Red Hulk, and the story of Banner with his son Scar, then the fall of the Hulk, and then Hulk World War, which was mostly boring with some good moments. After that, I jumped directly to the Immortal Hulk. I have read 30 chapters of it. I think the reason I stopped was because I felt that El Wing would put a reference to a character or event that I had not read. That is why I stopped in order to read more Hulk. Mostly, I intended to try out Hulk by Jason Aaron, Mark Waid, Bruce Jones, and Paul Jenkis. Can I complete the Immortal Hulk without having to?
Please excuse me for talking so long, and thank you for reading my nonsense
That’s a hard question. Ewing’s run is awesome, but he does reference a lot of history. But these references are not to specific stories, more to the general arch of the character, you know? Like, you need to know what the Hulk has an old persona called Mr. Fixit, but you don’t need to have read any one single Mr. Fixit story. Betty Banner at one point was transformed into a Harpy. That’s all. That’s the information you need. The villain Xemnu - the “original Hulk” - is a character that appeared in the late 1950s as “Hulk” (no relation), then later he was brought back with a new name and backstory as a Defenders villain. But do you need to read those stories to follow Ewing’s plot? Absolutely not. These tidbits might enhance your enjoyment but they are not required reading.
Maybe, maybe you should check out Paul Jenkins’s run, because the Devil Hulk plays a big role in Ewing’s, but even that would not be indispensable
@@comicbelief Thanks for the answer
i think, sometimes things like the Destroyer of Worlds and Scar, the green man from the planet Hulk, helped me a lot in increasing my enjoyment.
Sometimes a fun little reference, like Hulk sitting on that chair or throne, I don't know, is it a very huge chair
And some things, not so much, like Jeph Loeb's run Except that he did some things like Rick Jones transforming into Abomination and Betty transforming into Red She-Hulk
@@jojojotaru1167 I did a video a while back specifically on the various hulk personalities. It wasn’t my best effort, but it might give you an idea of what stories to seek out.
@@comicbelief The video helped me a lot and I am grateful that I took your advice. The Ewing run was excellent. I wish we had more numbers. I felt that the ending was a bit rushed and a lot of the plot points were left unresolved. I read Gamma Flight and it was not very satisfying. I wish it were longer. Most likely no one will use the plot points that Ewing left behind. Thank you, Donny Cates.
very useful! any thoughts on Hulk Grand Design?
I love your lists but it’s time to change the background music
True 😂
is jhon Byrne and Joe Casey hulk run any good?
Very much so. But Byrne leaves his run unfinished, and the series suffers a little until Peter David takes over. Casey’s is fun and different, but because it’s a short run right after David’s decade on the series, it goes underestimated and its impact on the series is very small.
Ah, sorry. I was referring to Byrne’s early 80s run. He returns briefly after Casey in a nem Hulk #1, which really isn’t very good.
@@comicbelief Some writers seem to lose their skills after a while. I heard that the same thing happened to Chris Claremont after the 2000s
What about Garry Duggan run?
@@jojojotaru1167 Duggan is kind of middle of the road. He picks up from where Waid left off to give it a satisfying finish.
Very true about writers. They grow accustomed to certain plots and gimmicks, and quality drops. Some cases are worse than others. Frank Miller and Jeff Loeb are the two most glaring examples.
