Incredible Hulk Appreciation

[McFarlane's Green Hulk]

Dude, I'm so patiently waiting until they produce one for the States proper. Who knows when that'll be, but I pretty much refuse to buy the one that already exists.

Enjoy.

I'm at that point where I'm sick of looking at it online, and sick of trying to remember which 15th generation bootleg copy is better quality to watch. I have one where it's beautiful video, but the sound is 3 seconds out of sync.
I'm done. Fini!
If these are the ones we were supposed to get when the `67 Spider-Man DVD set was released, I'll suck up and buy a different player.

What's the hold up on US copies anyways? I'd buy this in a heartbeat!

No clue.
I'd read a review on Amazon years ago about the hold up/cancellation of the `66 Marvel Super Hero series was due to a dispute between Disney & Marvel -- over an unauthorized piece of artwork -- and cancelled the release. How much of this is true and internet rumor is unknown. But now that they are one company, it makes no sense for these shows to not see a release in the U.S. since Disney owns all the rights to Marvel's animation footage.
Then again, we still haven't seen the `90's Spider-Man cartoon releases on DVD either -- and only the first season has been released on iTunes...so there might be more going on than what is led to believe.

Set just arrived today.
It might just be me, but it sounds like the audio is slightly sped up a bit. Michael Bell sounds like he'd been hitting the helium pipe before delivering those lines!

Other than that, it's great...

Hey guys I'm a fairly new Hulk reader. Can you guys recommend any other runs other than PAD's?

3/4 of Bill Mantlo's five year tenure have made it into pretty thick TPBs:
Pardoned, which reprints HULK #269-285;

Regression, which reprints HULK #286-300, Annual 12

Crossroads, which reprints HULK #301-313 & Alpha Flight #29

[McFarlane's Green Hulk]

And to finish it off, try John Byrne's Hulk Visionaries, which reprints HULK #314-319, Annual 14 and Marvel Fanfare #29.


This, and the previous TPBS break the 20+ year status quo of the standard formula of Hulk stories and deal with Bruce Banner's ability to gain control of the Hulk's body for an extended period of time, become pardoned by the President and declared a hero. Banner's control slowly wanes and he becomes a mindless Hulk and is banished to the Crossroads of Reality for a time, only to return to Earth. When Byrne & Mantlo switched titles, Byrne had the Hulk and Banner separated into two distinct beings (before leaving for DC Comics). The Byrne issues are a pre-prequal of sorts to the PAD run....

My only complaint about these recent TPBs is that they didn't use the classic "slanty" logo and opted to use the 1990s brick logo from the Keown/Frank/Sharpe/Kubert era. Also, small NOTE: Crossroads also included Annual 13.

HAHAH! Whoa...I edited my post to add the annual twice -- and STILL forgot to put it in there...
