Hulk Bookshelf

Hulk Omnibuses and Oversized Hardcovers

These massive tomes have larger pages and collect huge swaths of comics – between 25 and 50 issues a book. They look beautiful on a book-shelf! This is a list of omnibuses focused on Avengers material – other, non-Avengers omnibuses are also listed in this guide chronologically.

Omnibus editions are also listed below in their chronological placement, as they are frequently the only coverage of a specific run.

Click to expand a list of Hulk omnibuses.

Marvel Masterworks

Marvel Masterworks editions are high quality, full color reproductions of original issues. The volumes were originally released as hardcovers, with many now out of print. Some of the earlier editions were also released in paperback. If you decide to buy hardcovers, the newest editions are from 2003 and, with silver dustjackets.

Masterworks are not listed below in their chronological placement, but they are referenced if they are the only means of obtaining an issue.

Epic Collections

Marvel’s Epic Collections represent a consistent, affordable, full-color bookshelf format of issues in perfect continuity order without a single gap. The catch? Marvel is releasing them in a random order to focus on the biggest gaps first – since early issues are already well-covered by both Essentials and Masterworks.

This is a “retcon stories throughout time” series that inserts various conflicts from the origin of the Avengers through Red Hulk.

Avengers Assemble #1-8: See Avengers Assemble

Avengers vs. X-Men: Hulk appears briefly in the final two issues of this event, and not at all in the tie-ins. Red Hulk plays a significant early role, including the prologue in X-Sanction. See Marvel Universe Events: Avengers vs. X-Men.

Marvel Now: Indestructible Hulk, Hulk Vol. 2, & Savage Hulk (2012 – 2015)

Mark Waid drives Bruce Banner’s Hulk in a new direction in the wake of Avengers vs. X-Men, making for a compelling, sci-fi take on the character. Hulk also appears regularly in Avengers Assemble, and occasionally in Avengers and Secret Avengers.

Several other Hulks are active in this period! Red Hulk leads Thunderbolts, Jennifer Walters joins the replacement Fantastic Four in FF, and Red-She Hulk anchors her own title.

#7-12: Vol. 2: Civil War II (2017 paperback, ISBN 978-0785196105 / digital)

Marvel Fresh Start:
The Immortal Hulk #1-50 & 0 by Al Ewing (2018 – 2021)

At the end of Marvel Legacy, Bruce Banner makes his return in the weekly “Avengers: No Surrender” event- see Guide to Avengers Flagships (2010 – Present). That story makes the argument that, really, Banner never left – because The Hulk is not only indestructible, but immortal! That sets up a new series by Al Ewing with Banner as the star of his own horror movie – one where he finally takes ownership of the fact that he can be defeated but he can never die. [Marvel Unlimited: main series]
