With no recent previews on the horizon for new issues of Marvel Comics, it seems as though the “rumors” are also impacting the digital front as well. The comic shutdown may be upwards of two months! So, what do we do if we can’t get our weekly fix? I know!!! Let’s read some old Marvel Graphic Novels/ Trades. So, to those of you following along at home, I just created a reading order/list for X-MEN events dating back to 1976! You can find that by clicking HERE. For today’s edition of “trades we should be reading”, my focus is on the INCREDIBLE HULK, who just had his 750th issue! Click HERE for the review of that issue.

Anyway, Dispatch has come to the rescue once again with a list of some of the BEST HULK stories to keep you occupied during your Social Distancing/ Quarantine. I don’t have every HULK story ever listed BUT I do have some incredibly smashing tales that I feel are essential for any Hulk fan. Attached to each excerpt of the Graphic Novel/ Trade is a link showing you how to get your hands on these stories ASAP from the fine folks at Amazon! Better yet, why not give Comixology/ Kindle a go? Click HERE for an Amazon link to Popular HULK Comics/ trades for your Kindle and give it the old college try! Scroll through the link and see what you can find.

Either way, maybe it’s time to sit back, relax, and buy some trades while you’re stuck at home? Maybe there are some you missed? Who knows? But I do know that this is as good a time as any while you’re channeling your inner Social Distance Warrior (SDW) to pick up a new Graphic Novel and READ! Hit me up and let me know if you have any other recommendations. I’d love to hear them. Without any further ado, below is your list in order of year they were released to the best of my ability. Enjoy!

Incredible Hulk: Future Imperfect

Released: 1992

The testing of the first gamma bomb thrust upon Robert Bruce Banner that which he would come to believe would be his greatest nightmare: his unwilling transformation into the Incredible Hulk. He believed wrong. Now, having been dragged nearly a century into the future – into a post-holocaust, dystopian world – Bruce Banner discovers that his nightmare has a whole new name: The Maestro. This is a nightmare that only the Hulk can end. That he must end. For he knows that he himself is responsible for the presence of the evil Maestro. The future, our future, and the Incredible Hulk will never be quite the same. And neither will you.
