Not only is Banner too late but now he must face an army of Hulks from divergent timelines to stop his future self from ravaging all of time and space… Whilst in hiding an aged psychologist “cures†the monster-afflicted scientist and Betty falls pregnant with twins, but when they are delivered their benefactor is revealed as the Maestro, a sick and twisted version of Banner from an apocalyptic future (first seen in the 1992 miniseries Hulk: Future Imperfect) who kidnaps one of the infants and returns to his Ghastly world of Tomorrow.ĭesperate and traumatised, Banner turns to his friend Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme, who provides a way to follow, but due to unforeseen circumstances he arrives two decades late: his son is now a heartless brute in the manner of the Maestro, and worse yet the abortive rescue mission has given the sadistic monster a method of plundering the time stream and alternate dimensions. The plot actually spun out of and referenced contemporary Hulk continuity and featured a Green Goliath that possessed Bruce Banner’s intellect, married to his long-term sweetheart Betty, and on the run from the US military. To my mind the most successful of these was this hefty tome from Peter David, who had the advantage of being a prolific genre novelist (most notably of Star Trek adventures) and the current scripter for the Incredible Hulk comicbook. By Peter David, illustrated by George Pérez (Boulevard/Putnam Books)Īfter a few abortive attempts in the 1960s and a more strategic attempt at the end of the 1970’s Marvel once more tried to move onto the prose bookshelves in the 1990s with a select series of hardback novels.
