Panini Comics It brings us the fourth volume of the collection Marvel Gold From Hulk This is under the title of Marvel Gold. The incredible Hulk 4 – Who will judge Hulk?Where our protagonist continues his journey through a world that fears it and does not understand it. With scripts of many writers known by The house of ideas And with the constant art of the mythical Trimpe Herb Among others, this phase of the Colosian range is a Russian mountain of emotions, adventures and reflections on human and monstrous nature.

The children of the gods and the green leather project

The journey begins with a story in which Hulk faces Children of the godsExtraterrestrial beings who emulate the divinities of ancient Egypt. This adventure allows trimpes to recreate with its artistic talent, especially in the central battle of the plot. Obviously the distribution of the media is not the same thing we would have in a similar story today (it would be like comparing the climax of Avengers Endgame With that of Jason and Argonauti), But there are ideas.

At the same time, the general Thadeus Rossan almost constant antagonist in those years, places the Green skin projecta plan whose first step would be to capture Hulk and find a cure for Bruce Banner and whose derivatives place ethical dilemmas on freedom and control.

The leader, the doctor Samson and the science fiction plots

The return of the villain known as the Leader (character we recently seen in the last film of Captain America) introduces a plot in which people are replaced by the androids, while Samson DocThe psychiatrist has turned into superhero, returns to the series to add layers of complexity to a story that constantly strives to be relevant in this sense.

When Archie Goodwin He is responsible for the script and when he takes Hulk to truly imaginative science fiction adventures, from facing an amorphous mass that consumes everything on his path to reduce and fight against giant mice. These stories, very influenced by the comics of the 1950s, offer a change of refreshing tone and very funny numbers.

In that tone it would also adapt to adventure in Assumea mirror world created by High evolutionWhere Hulk will face alternative versions of his acquaintances while he discovers that in that world banner exists without his monstrous counterparty.

Jarella, Love Dilemmi and Hulk Trial

JarellaThe princess of the subatomic world KaHe returns to the life of our protagonist to rekindle his love story. However, Banner wonders if his feelings are authentic or an influence of his alter ego. This original love triangle, which includes Betty Ross (And it could be a loving square if we count both banner and its green counterpart), adds emotional tension to the narrative.

In each series with a longevity like this comes a time when the screenwriter in service (this time we talk about it Gary Friedrich) He decides to ask what would happen in the real world if what has been seen in the cartoons would have happened outside of them. The answer leads him to organize a process for Hulk for his destructive actions. Although it breaks with the main plot, this arc of several numbers offers memorable moments and reflections on responsibility and justice. Among the many superheroes that will have passed through the pages of this arch, it is worth highlighting the work of Daredevil as a defender of Giant emerald.

Steve Englehart Stage

When Steve Englehart Take the rudder the stories have a lighter and adventurous tone. Although some plots, such as the alliance between Ross and the Abominationit may seem simplistic, others, such as the clash with the Wendigo In Canada, they offer truly captivating moments. The introduction of Zzzaxa creature of pure energy and the transformation of Betty into Harpysomething that would end up having echoes in the recent phase of Al EwingThey will be some of the interesting arches that the screenwriter of Indianapolis offers us in this volume.

In short, in this volume (where in addition to those already mentioned we also see the work of screenwriters such as Roy Thomas, Gerry Conway or Chris Claremont) We will find what could be qualified until then the best stage of the character, the evolution of the plots to the most ambitious horizons (moral dilemmas, science fiction, psychological complexity) compared to those we had previously, in which the adventures did not go far beyond seeing Hulk, in the face of the enemy of the shift to the cakes.
