His Star Trek work included comic books and novels such as the New Frontier book series.

His television work includes series such as Babylon 5, Young Justice, Ben 10: Alien Force and Nickelodeon's Space Cases, which he co-created with Bill Mumy.
David often jokingly described his occupation as "Writer of Stuff", and he was noted for his prolific writing, characterized by its mingling of real-world issues with humor and references to popular culture, as well as elements of metafiction and self-reference.

A nice fun start to this Future Imperfect prequel story!

The people of the world have blown themselves up. Nuclear bombs. Hulk awakens in a strange facility only to be greeted by MODOK. Hulk wants no part of this charade and busts out of this place only to find out MODOK was right. With the earth wrecked, Hulk sets out on his own. Let the adventures begin.

Enjoyable overall; however, there were inconsistencies/continuity errors from the original storyline.
If you’re unfamiliar (or it’s been a long time since you read the original Hulk arc that introduced Maestro) then you should have no problem diving in.

Not a bad start to a post-apocalyptic Hulk story. Is this supposed to be some sort of prequel though? Five issues seems kind of short for this type of premise but I could be wrong.

Peter David + Hulk. Igual que en el pasado, esta combinación no podía fallar.
Y no lo ha hecho. Primer número de arranque donde se rompen todas las reglas en favor de un gran misterio para Hulk.
Dibujo excelso que acompaña a la historia de Peter David. Una nueva garantía de éxito en la línea de lo que Marvel debería seguir potenciando si no quiere dejar de vender comic-books, y con la misma fórmula alucinante que ya ha aplicado este guionista y escritor con el propio Hulk en el pasado (junto con George Pérez, Gary Frank, Angel Medina o Dale Keown), con Young Justice (junto a Todd Nauck), con Supergirl (con Gary Frank), con Capitán Marvel (junto a Chris Cross) o con Dreadstar (junto a Angel Medina).
Quienes recuerden estos tres ejemplos, saben también que «Maestro» promete ser otra de esas grandes obras maestras que nunca deberían ser excepciones de la regla.

A Long Overdue Tale
Peter David and Dale Keown telling the origin story of the Maestro? Take my money NOW. And this first issue of the series doesn't disappoint. Keown's sharp, pumped up artwork. That familiar snarky David humor. For a long time Hulk fan like me, it's like going home again after thirty years, and I can hardly wait to see what's next. Welcome back, guys.
