Peter David is hands down one of my favorite comic writers, so I will devour anything I can find by him. While I would prefer for this to be an ongoing series, these fun, out of continuity tales have a solid charm about them. I cannot wait to dive into book two of this series.
While I did not rate this story as five stars, the story and art here are absolutely incredible and had me hooked from page one. If you are interested in the book, I fully recommend it.

This is, basically, the story of how the Hulk became the Maestro in the future of the Marvel Universe depicted in Peter David's and George Perez's [b:Future Imperfect|558869|The Incredible Hulk Future Imperfect|Peter David|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1327990859l/558869._SY75_.jpg|546045]. You don't need to read this to understand that book, and I'm not sure this volume adds that much besides continuity (especially since the Maestro-Hulk makes a much better antagonist than the protagonist of his own book). Dale Keown pencils the first pages of the collection and then some side stories. It's serviceable, but nothing special.

So I have never really been a fan of The Hulk. I saw re-runs of the original show when I was growing up and liked it, obviously I've seen the movies, but that's it. I've never really liked the Hulk. However, I've always heard Peter David was basically THE Hulk writer and this was available and seemed like a quick read so I read it..... I really liked 75% of this. The first two issues were INCREDIBLE, lots of fun, a lot of intrigue, really good art, then the 3rd issue was really good but slowed down and felt a little more tedious. Then there was randomly an undefined time jump and while the story it told after that jump was good, it felt jarring.
It looks like there is a follow up mini so I'll probably give that a read if it's available to me somehow, and I'm now way more open to more Hulk stories and giving them a try, but it still isn't/won't be a priority (except the upcoming Donny Cates run because it's Donny Cates.
Also the back up in this book was SO good and SO heartbreaking, even for someone who only really knows Rick Jones from a distance.
