Dr. Bruce Banner tries to keep his cool, but when his friends or the world need help he gets angry and becomes the big mean green Hulk. Banner’s friends Rick and his pet monkey help the Hulk any way they can even though they have no real superpower. Trouble always seems to follow the doctor and it is usually some terrible evil trying to take over the earth.

This is volume 2 in Hulk adventures. I have not read the first volume and I feel like there might be some important info that I am missing but not a lot. I enjoyed the comic relief friend, Rick, and monkey.

I was a little confused when the silver surfer showed up as a good guy because I really thought he was a villain. I have not read a lot of Hulk comics before but I have seen the movies and tv shows with the character. Rick and monkey have not been in the movies as far as I know so that might be part of the storyline in volume 1 that I missed.

These mini-adventure books are great for kids starting to read and for those who may not be ready for novels. Graphic novels like these are short and sweet. I will be reading more of them as they come my way.
