PLANET HULK PREVIEW
INCREDIBLE HULK: FUTURE IMPERFECT TP (1992)
(excerpt)
There was this classic story written by Peter David and illustrated to perfection by George Perez called Hulk: Future Imperfect. In it, the present-day Hulk was brought forward in time by rebels of the future, led by his best friend Rick Jones, now an old man and part of a resistance.
In this future, World War 3 had come and gone and decimated the planet. The only superbeing to survive it is/was the Hulk – who has now become a despotic ruler called the Maestro.
Thus, in the desolation of this post-apocalyptic world, the Hulk has become a tyrannical ruler who brings his version of order and justice to the surviving humans.
It explored previously untapped facets of the Hulk mythos. And remains one of the best Hulk stories.
