So I Read Today… Incredible Hulk #467 (vol.1)
Peter David has always been a prolific writer, this man knows how to write fiction and he’s damn good at it, that’s why Marvel trusted him with The Green Goliath for 12 years, but as always happens in the comic world, editorial interference got in the way of how Peter wanted to work, you see, in the late 90’s Marvel’s editorial team gave the mandate to David to write a big event around the character affecting the whole Marvel Universe, David, did not want to mess with another writers schedules and ideas on their books because of one crossover, so he refused to do so, Marvel punished him by kicking him out of the book he wrote with such passion for all those years.
Peter had worked with some of the best talent in the industry during his tenure on the book, from Gary Frank, to guys like Angel Medina, Greg Capullo and Todd Mcfarlane, his artist on the book at the time was the great Adam Kubert and together they cranked out this magazine as a swan song; in it an adult Rick Jones speaks to a reporter from the Daily Bugle (named Peter) about the last days of the Hulk and how Bruce Banner dealt with the loss of the woman he loved so much, it’s a tale of the death wish of one man versus the desire of survival of one monster and it would take Banner years to reconcile both and make peace with himself.
This is a book that gives closure to a long saga, for longtime readers this was his last Hulk issue, it’s a tearjerker, an effect that very few comics can achieve today, it’s a good farewell with the last words of a writer that until the end showed the love he had for the character, Peter David provides the words and Adam Kubert provides the pencils and inks for this one, along Steve Buscellatto on colors, you should read it!
