- Maybe i'm missing something, but i've never found the incredible hulk story lines to be very interesting. The movies and his short role in old man logan is about all i have seen.
Any suggestions on good hulk reading?

- Start with the original issues and work your way to current issues would be the best way to read it. Hulk 1-6, Tales to Astonish 70-101, Hulk 102+
If you want to start somewhere more modern, take a look at the Planet Hulk storyline. That is a completely different Hulk but it is a good storyline. Once the storyline moved to Red/Green Hulk and newer, the story really started to decline. I stopped reading Hulk a few months ago, it was boring.

- I never was into Iron Man growing up, the movies definitely made him look better. I remember him as a drunk.
I saw a planet hulk movie on netflix the other day, i'll watch it next time i get the chance.

- Never got into the Hulk books. The only Hulks I've watched were the movies (not impressed). But I did like the 70's Hulk show with Lou Ferigno and Bill Bixby.

- If you get the CBS app you can watch a lot of the Hulk TV episodes for free. I remember liking the show as a kid. I watched an episode last week and could not believe how bad it was and I wanted to like it.

- Same here Joe. The acting and effects were terrible. I think the same can be said for Knight rider too. That was my favorite as a kid and I can't believe it now.

- That goes for almost any action based TV show from the 70's or 80's. They do not hold up to time very well.

- I think "planet Hulk" is the best story so far. The whole Peter David run was pretty good. Bruce Jones and Jason Aaron did a decent job too. The lowpoint is that, depending on the writer, the characters motivation can change a lot and it cause a problem with continuity.
I hope that the actual storyline, by reducing the number of gamma powered characters, will help (it was just ridiculous).

- Agree, never found the hulk interesting. Only recently tried to get into his comics, and havent found them interesting at all. Definitely some of my least favorites each month.
Also agree on how dissapointing knight rider is now... watched a season on netflix a couple of years ago, very dissapointed.
