Marvel stories of the Hulk geared for the younger set.
The stories and art were all okay except the one with Maddox the Multiple Man which pretty fun and creative.
The book just wasn't good enough for me to continue on but I can see how the younger kids might get a kick out of it.
I just happened to find this at a used book store for fifty cents so it was a pretty good deal.

Short story, and an easy read since its a graphic novel, but its good to take a nice break from the real chapter books.

My first Hulk comic ever!

[Ms. Patterson · Rating 3 out of 5]

This collection of Incredible Hulk comics contains four different stories in the ongoing adventures of Bruce Banner a.k.a. the Incredible Hulk. By starting with the transformation of Bruce into the Hulk, even newbies to the story will know what's happening. The stories also introduce several reappearing characters with enough information that the reader will know who they are and what is their relation to Bruce/Hulk.

Although there's nothing surprising or new in this collection, fans of graphic novels and/or comics will find enjoyment in reading this one. This book will appeal to many -- I give it a C.

I think this book is awesome. I would recommend it for those Marvel fans out there. Caught in the explosion of a gamma bomb, brilliant scientist Bruce Banner was transformed into a hulking beast! With no control over his transformations, Banner lives on the run, helping those less fortunate than he, hoping to one day a cure to rid himself of the rampaging Hulk. Featuring Jaimie Madrox, the Multiple Man; Radioactive Man; and the Hulk smashing everything in sight!

Like the rest of the Marvel Adventures comics, the first volume of The Hulk collects quick origin story and a few adventures.
The stories are wrapped up in each issue, and there is not that much connecting them, just like the rest of the Marvel Adventures comics, but these are a great starting point for those who are not familiar with The Incredible Hulk.
The art is good enough, but pretty forgettable.
Overall, an okay read, especially for younger readers.

This book does a good job giving the Hulk an origin in the MARVEL ADVENTURES universe, keeping the classic, original version. I like the monkey hanging out with them on their adventures, and how the stories are sort of one-shots until the final one, where the antagonists from each one have banded together. The art is nice and simple, like the rest of the Marvel Adventures titles.
