I have decided to give all of Marvels ((616)) core titles a try.
((Spiderman)) ((Fantastic 4))
I am keeping all three spiderman books.
I am now debating giving Hulk a try. I was interested in knowing how it was,the usual. I also am wondering if its to late to get on board, i have no idea whats happened to hulk.
((STORY, STYLE , ART , TONE)) ( same with she hulk))
I hear SHE HULK is pretty good to. I Like spderman funny so I was going to give her title a try as well.
i just wouldn't pick it up if its just bad comedy legal drama and no action.
I just wanna really delve into an try everything none (X) related.
All things (( AVENGERS and related)) I have added to my pull.

It has crossed my mind that maybe Meta 05's posts are generated by some sort of AI learning English with an initial emphasis on super-hero jargon.
I haven't been reading Hulk lately, but the gist is that he has been sent away from Earth because the other heroes fear he is too volatile and dangerous. His craft crash lands on the wrong planet, and he is captured and forced to participate in gladiatorial games.
When Bruce Banner gets angry he becomes the Hulk. That's about all you need to know to get started.
There are plenty of review/discussion threads on Hulk and She-Hulk. Just tread carefully to avoid the big spoilers, and you can get an idea what people feel about those titles.
Hope you are enjoying your Marvel sampling spree. I'm looking forward to the output that your various sub routines generate from those comics. ;)

I think Hulk is one of the best core universe books Marvel is currently putting out. I had not read and issue for 6 or 7 years and it is now back at the top of my favorites list.
The basic set up is pretty simple. He gets sent off into space by a group of heroes who think they are doing him a favor sending him to a world where no one will bother him. He gets pissed and smashes up his ship and ends up on a warring planet rulled by some nasty leader. On this world there are others who are stronger than him and he ends up enslaved. The story arc is only 2 issues old and so far it is great. Pick up the last two issues and judge for yourself.

This week you can pick up part one (2nd printing feat. a great Hitch cover) AND part 2 to get you started - there's also a recently released trade reprinting the prelude to Planet Hulk, where SHIELD sends ol' greenie up into space to stop a crazy satellite. Also decent reading.
If you do get the two Planet Hulk books, make sure you get next week's Illuminati special, which details the background of sending the Hulk into space.
Either way, the Hulk's monthly book should be SMOKIN' for the next year or so. . .enjoy!

yeah Hulk is super cool right now, and Planet Hulk is probably the best stand alone event this year.

Oh, definitely get She-Hulk, especially if you like the funny.
Oh, and may I heartily recommend The Thing as well? Check it out, and if you like it, I (and the author Dan Slott) would recommend that you add it to your pull list.

Daredevil and Captain America are well worth reading, X-Factor, not so much.

Different strokes. I am not a fan of Daredevil right now, but I love X-Factor. One of my favorite comics right now.
