Book Reviews of Incredible Hulk: The End (Marvel Premiere Classic)
Book Review: Some of the best modern Hulk stories you'll ever read
Summary: 5 Stars
Marvel finally had the good sense to re-print two modern classic Hulk stories with Hulk: Future Imperfect and Hulk: The End; both of which are written by legendary Hulk scribe Peter David and collected here in this handsome hardcover. Future Imperfect is a two-issue smash that finds the Hulk transported to the future to duke it out with an older, stronger, and tyrannical future version of himself, which goes by the name of the Maestro. Loaded with action and a surprisingly intelligent storyline and plot, Future Imperfect is made even better by the stellar, highly detailed artwork of the great George Perez, who wonderfully illustrates one of the best smackdowns the Hulk has ever been involved with. The second story is the Hulk: The End one-shot (and the first of Marvel's line of "The End" stories, unless you count the older and aptly titled "Last Avengers Story" as being a part of this line, which was written by, guess who, Peter David) which finds an old, decrepit Bruce Banner as being the last living human on Earth, and still wrestling with the monster inside. Surrounded by nothing but desolation and giant cockroaches (yes, you read that right), Banner attempts to finally rid himself of his lonely existence, but naturally, Hulk will have nothing of that. While nowhere near as enjoyable as Future Imperfect, Hulk: The End is a startlingly poignant and even somewhat frightening tale of a would-be demise of the jade giant, which is made all the more memorable by the artwork of Pitt artist Dale Keown, who made a name for himself illustrating the Hulk during David's prolific run on the title. All in all, it's great to see both these stories finally get re-printed, and needless to say, if you've ever considered yourself a Hulk fan, this collection deserves a place on your shelf.
Summary of Incredible Hulk: The End (Marvel Premiere Classic)
Chronicling the final days of the Green Goliath! Peter David and Dale Keown, creative team on some of the Hulk's most memorable tales, reunite to produce this searing vision of the future in which Bruce Banner, the Incredible Hulk, is the last man on Earth. It's the Hulk's final battle, as "The Last Titan" wrestles his inner-demons in order to discover his place in a dying world - if only he can survive! Plus: The testing of the first Gamma Bomb thrust upon Robert Bruce Banner that which he would come to believe would be his greatest nightmare: his unwilling transformation into the Incredible Hulk. He believed wrong. Now, having been dragged into the future - into a post-holocaust, dystopian world - Bruce Banner discovers that his nightmare has a whole new name: the Maestro! This is a nightmare that only Hulk can end. For he knows that he himself is responsible for the presence of the evil Maestro. The future, our future, and the Incredible Hulk will never quite be the same, courtesy of Peter David and George Perez. And neither will you!
