When most people think of the Hulk they think green. Well think again, this is Peter Davids Grey Hulk - an intelligent, devious, grey goliath. The traditional green Savage Hulk represents one facet of Bruce Banners mind, whilst this grey incarnation represents another. This givers David the opportunity to really explore how and why the various Hulks represent suppressed parts of Banners psyche. Coupled with this, we have some exciting action, made all the more appealing by the artwork of a young Todd McFarlane of Spider-man and Spawn fame. Some of Todds very early work in this volume is a bit weak, partly due to some bad inking. However, once we get about halfway through, he seems to have ironed out his creases and gives us the quintessential depiction of the Grey Hulk.
This first TPB collects issues 331-339. Make sure you read Peter Davids introduction at the beginning of the book, as he explains some background continuity that is required before you start reading the actual story. If you enjoyed this volume and want more, there is an out of print TPB called Hulk: Ground Zero which continues on from issue 340 with Grey Hulks legendary encounter with Wolverine.

This collects The Incredible Hulk issues 331-339 from 1987, the first Hulk story arc written by Peter David and pencilled by Todd McFarlane, two comics superstars in the making back then. The story and art on the first couple of issues is hit and miss but they both improve dramatically over the next few issues and by issue 336 (the beginning of the X-Factor two-parter) Peter and Todd deliver some fantastic work. The X-Factor issues are personal favourites of mine, well written and gorgeously illustrated. They really don't make classic Marvel comics like these anymore! This collection is highly recommended to anyone looking to read some great 80s comics.

THE GOOD: This may be where Peter David's run on Hulk begins, but this isn't the classic stuff that has received so much deserved praise. Peter David is an incredibly witty writer, but you don't get to see much of that here.
THE BAD: This is Peter David finding his feet on the series and sweeping away the mess this series was in. At this stage, this was a series no one cared about. And rightly so. MacFarlane's art is scrappy and dated. He's a marked improvement on Al Milgrom who had helped bring back the grey Hulk, but this is some of his very early work, too, and not a fair place to judge him from whether you're a fan of his or not.
THE BAD PLACE TO START: Peter David's run on Hulk is one of the best run's on any Marvel series ever. But if you want to see this run at it's best, then start at Volume 4 or 5 where Peter really gets going on the series and is joined by Dale Keown on art (on 5). The grey Hulk can be seen at his nastiest and big changes happen for the Hulk. It's also some of the funniest stuff you'll ever read. This book? Best leave it.

I am a big fan of Peter David and his run in Hulk but, years later, the book seems dated in a bad way.
