Hulk out on this one: Incredible Hulk #75

Beware green men with giant brains and cheesy moustaches! No matter how much you may want to, you just can't trust those guys. Don't accept their hospitality, and don't make toasts with them, either. These valuable pieces of advice can all be picked up from Incredible Hulk #75.

This anniversary issue has everything you could want from a Hulk comic. Many readers have felt that Bruce Jones' take on this book has been a little too light on actual Hulk appearances. This issue goes a long way to fix that perception, by giving the reader loads of Hulk-action. There are conspiracies, mind control, and appearances by a certain green, big-brained Hulk villain. Toss in Doc Sampson, Tony Stark and Betty Ross and you have a book that is more fun than a pair of purple pants!

As this is a "Special 75th Issue," it seems only right to let the green guy himself say a few words about the book. (Be warned, this may be extremely silly.) "Hulk's head hurt! What Leader doing to Hulk's brain? Hulk smash stupid conspiracy! Hulk smash Bruce Jones! Hulk's pants too tight! Hulk want beans! Hulk's book good and pictures nice! Buy book or Hulk smash you!!!"

Well anyway, this book has great Hulk action, some mysteries, some resolutions and a nice cliffhanger. It gives new Hulk readers everything you really need to know to enjoy the book and has some nice, moody art by Darick Robertson. And at least one character with an eye-patch. Give it a try, you won't be sorry since this is the guaranteed Book of the Week! And you really don't want to make the Hulk angry. You wouldn't like him when he's angry.
