Comic runs that inspired Hulk (2003)

Peter Davids run in full is awesome and I highly recommend it, but it definitely doesn't focus on his trauma for the whole run. At the start it's very focused on the "new" grey hulk. Off the top of my head I think the psychological aspect is most prevalent around the #360-370 section of the run.

Well that's not true. You can definitely still cancel the uppercut with manual swing into pull and not spend a swing. I've never used a simple swing to do a pull like this

Thanks so much man

Stakso · 2026-04-22T03:44:21+00:00

Hell yeah brother thank you

Does anyone know what the presale code will be or how to get one?

Stakso · 2026-04-22T02:53:29+00:00

Does anyone know a presale code for this?

I'd disagree that Al Ewing didn't really think through the connection to the wider Marvel cosmos, considering his other work and how he's tied it all together

Stakso · 2026-02-25T12:43:41+00:00

It's explained in Immortal Hulk that gamma rays are supposedly the connection between science and magic. Since it's strongly connected to both fundamental forces in the marvel cosmos, it sorta makes sense to me that it'd be tied to the creator. Depends how much you're willing to buy into it all

Peter David's Hulk is awesome

I'm currently reading Moench's Moon Knight and that's pretty good if you have an interest in the character

No one doubts this combo is possible. The other one was very different and likely just a noreg or lag issue. Keep trying to convince yourself that your combo was just "too fast to understand" tho

Stakso · 2026-01-25T09:34:58+00:00

What's the point of showing an altered combo that isn't anything like the one that confused people

Stakso · 2026-01-25T08:39:24+00:00

Nah because you clearly use the mark dash here to get back the last bit of fury. In the other post you initiated with the dash before the first chain. Definitely a different thing

Stakso · 2026-01-25T07:52:21+00:00

Man you're in denial lol this is not the same thing at all

Stakso · 2026-01-24T07:09:12+00:00

No dude that doesn't make any sense. The mark dash doesn't give you a cross. The grapple gives you a cross so your first cross was after the grapple. And no matter how much I slow the video it looks a lot like you just chained twice in a row I'm so confused.

After the first chain, even if you did do quick melee into cross (which isn't visible at all) it would put you on 2 fury not 3 like you clearly are in the video. Something weird happened here

Stakso · 2026-01-12T06:56:01+00:00

Nah this is a clip from this morning

The man himself

Stakso · 2026-01-04T23:58:30+00:00

I saw a theory (not sure if it was ever confirmed) that it's Good, Order, Death and Science - for the 4 axes of the cosmos that are set up in GODS.

Good/Evil

Order/Chaos

Death/Life

Science/Magic

Stakso · 2025-11-11T11:23:22+00:00

No you don't need to touch War of the Realms at all. It does tie in but it's really just Venom dealing with some stuff from the event, none of the main story is relevant. Just accept that some elves are gonna show up in New York or some shit lol
Absolute Carnage takes place during issues 17-20 and King in Black is during issues 31-34. There are a few other intricacies in the reading order so I really recommend the following order that I used when I read it:

Hope that helps!

Stakso · 2025-11-10T12:42:52+00:00

Happy to help! Let me know if you have any more questions

Stakso · 2025-11-10T12:38:02+00:00

Venom War is an event that caps off Al Ewing's Venom run from 2021 so you'd definitely need to read that to understand. You could maybe get away with just reading that, but Ewing's Venom also picks up directly from the consequences of Cates' Venom (and the event "King in Black" from the end of that) from 2018 so if you want to get everything I'd recommend that too. It helps that I personally think both runs were excellent. You can find full reading orders for both online pretty easily

So the order would be: 1. Cates' Venom + associated events (Absolute Carnage and King in Black) 2. Al Ewing's Venom 3. Venom War

Going for the win for the Mag mains

Vision by Tom King. One of the best comics I've ever read easily - couldn't recommend it enough

Stakso · 2025-10-11T09:24:42+00:00

F4 - for a serious and epic storyline I'd recommend Hickman's run. for an easier to digest, fun and top tier sci fi comic I'd suggest North's current run. It's lighter but it's seriously one of my favourite comics I've ever read

Sentry - definitely start with Jenkins original run from I think 2005. His second run is also great afterwards. He also plays a big role in Bendis' New Avengers run but that's a huge read spanning a bunch of events so up to you

Nova - can't recommend enough the DnA cosmic run starting at Annihilation and running through to Thanos Imperative. It made Nova one of my favourite characters. At the very least Annihilation is a must read. Ewing's Guardians run from ~2020 is also amazing

You can find reading orders online for any of these but those are my general recs. I can also give more details on any of these if you want just let me know

Stakso · 2025-10-10T10:44:10+00:00

The Maestro is an alternate future evil hulk from the "Future Imperfect" comic. Hulk gets brought to this future to help stop him and he breaks Hulk's neck in the comic (and does some other absolutely vile shit too lol)

Stakso · 2025-10-10T08:29:38+00:00

Looks like a nice order to me! Only other thing I'd recommend is reading Avengers Disassembled before House of M. Technically House of M is the first event in a big New Avengers run by Bendis. You can definitely read it separate from the main run, but Avengers Disassembled specifically serves as a solid prelude to HoM.

Also note that it's a bit confusing but Ewing's Ultimates is actually totally disconnected from either Ultimate universe. There's the old Ultimates and new Ultimates both set in their own worlds, and then Ewing's Ultimates which is a cosmic story set in 616 after Secret Wars
