Sometimes, all you need in a comic is a good old-fashioned battle, which this issue brings to us happily. It's a quick read and advances Hulk leading into The Incredible Hulk. Read Full Review
Throw a Crossroads Devil on the train and you've got the recipe for another great addition to this already stellar Hulk story. Read Full Review
Giant-Size Hulk #1 gives readers a new story hair-thin plot that just gives Hulk an excuse to smash yet another forgettable monster. The second half is a reprint of a much better Hulk story. If all you want in a Giant-Size Hulk comic is mindless smashing and nostalgia bait, get this comic. For everyone else, skip it. Points were reduced for the shameless cash grab. Read Full Review
A decent issue, although I'm not sure it was necessary to have this outside the main comic. It also doesn't really progress the plot at all. It continues Hulk's monster-of-the-week theme where he battles a demon on a train.
A giant-size waste of money. I get the impression that PKJ didn’t want to include anything in here that would be important to the main story, so it just feels like a waste of time.
Hulk smashes cartoon monsters.
Hulk protects teenage porcelain doll.
And so it goes...
And then we have the most pathetic tactic of a writer when he sees that his story is not convincing, which is to create retcons by messing with other writers' concepts, here in this case PKJ messes with Bill Mantlo's Crossroads, something that Peter David also tried was unsuccessful.
This is the Hulk you read today, a lame Incredible Hulk where each issue is more boring than the other, but of course if you make an effort to like it, just to have someone to talk to and lavish praise on, you'll love it. But in the present reality, this run must be IGNORED!
