The Incredible Hulk #1 is a classic monster story

Posted on by
The Incredible Hulk #1

Years ago when I first discovered Rene Descartes, I never realized how much he would affect my outlook on life. As his writings were not only guideposts for life but a way to see the world. As his ideas on rationalism, is the method we use reason things out. As he was one of the early proponents on stoicism.

One of the main ideas that I often find myself revisiting is the duality of man. As it showed how humans can be more than one thing. No character has more exemplified this than the Hulk. In The Incredible Hulk #1 we find David Banner and the Hulk fighting for permanent control of the body, whilst unleashing every monster in the Marvel Universe.

We’re taken to some ancient ruins in Iraq a year ago, where a bunch of scavengers are looking for an easy payday but instead unleashes an ancient evil which awakens monsters who have not been seen in centuries. We fast forward to modern day, to a diner in Kentucky, where we fid David looking for a bite before the Hulk comes out, right when a waitress speaks to him, is when the Hulk decides to get into his head. Banner awakens in the classic way to the carnage left behind by the Hulk. Unfortunately it has caught the attention of the FBI who starts their own manhunt, but it just so happens the leader of the FBI Task Force has been imbued with the primordial Mother Of Horrors, the ancient evil that was unearthed a year prior in Iraq. It’s all a build up to the monsters of the Marvel Universe taking on the Hulk as the series plants it flag in its horror roots.

Overall, The Incredible Hulk #1 is a classic monster story which reframes everyone’s favorite mean Green machine. The story by Johnson is eerie. The art by the creative team is gorgeous. Altogether, it’s a story that will have you look at the Hulk in a different way, a much more different look than the 1970s TV show.
