Synopsis
Before the world knew that Bruce Banner is the Hulk. Before Bruce had confessed his love to Betty Ross. Before the Hulk was green...there was Hulk: Gray! Bruce Banner's life was torn apart by the explosion of the Gamma Bomb. From that moment on, he unleashed the strongest creature on Earth - "The Incredible Hulk"! No matter how powerful he became, his heart could still be shattered by Betty Ross, the daughter of his greatest enemy, General 'Thunderbolt' Ross. The Eisner Award-winning team of Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale ("Superman For All Seasons", "Batman: The Long Halloween", "Daredevil: Yellow", and "Spider-Man: Blue") continue their insightful look into the early days of Marvel Comics' most popular heroes. In "Hulk: Gray", they unravel the origin of the Hulk and in doing so uncover a secret that will change the way we look at Bruce Banner forever! This title collects "Hulk: Gray" numbers 1-6.

From a time, when you could trust Loeb
12. Dezember 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
There was a time, when the name Jeph Loeb meant something. The guy who wrote Long Halloween and Hush storylines for Batman was brilliant. Todey it seems, Loeb lost his way. Hulk: Grey is from that time, when you cold trust Loeb.
It's competent and entertaining. It is not exeptional or brilliant, but it's solid. Loeb did not bring anything new to the Hulk mythos with Grey. It's not as meaningfull for the character as Blue was for Spider-Man. But it's good fun.
Tim Sale on the other hand is as good as ever. His one of the best artist in comics today. His take on Hulk is exeptional. I dont like the big culturist/ wrestler/ superhero type of Hulk, that is Marvel's house style. To me, Hulk is a monster, a creature from nightmares and Tim Sale captures this perfectly.
What makes Hulk: Grey special, and what reviewers often write about, is... the disney charm to the story. It's like a Disney movie, with Betty Ross as disney princess. It's defenetly worth picking up for that.

Wonderful Art Brought Down by Poor Writing
11. Mai 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Tim Sale's art for this book is gorgeous. I love his more bestial, almost ape-like take on the Hulk. Though he mentions in the back matter of the book that he doesn't have as much of an emotional investment in the Hulk as he does the other Marvel characters he's worked on, I feel like his cartoony-yet-dark style is better suited for the grotesque goliath than it is for someone like Daredevil.
This would be a 5-star review if HULK: GRAY was just a showcase of Tim Sale's art. But Jeph Loeb's story gets in the way. The main thread of the story is overlaid by a dialogue-heavy framing sequence between Bruce Banner and his psychologist friend, Leonard Samson. The book's conceit is that it's really Bruce in the modern day, telling this (possibly misremembered) tale from his early days as the Hulk. Loeb has used this trick elsewhere, and the framing dialogue comes so thick and overbearing that it essentially means the reader is reading two stories at once - often in the same panel. This would work with a more layered, complicated story, perhaps, but Loeb isn't up to that. What we get is the Hulk smashing the US Army and a bunch of dialogue (most of which could be charitably called "filler") pasted in boxes over the top of that. This book's two stories get in each other's way.
I should make that clear. I don't so much have a problem with the story itself, but the way it's presented. It's a chore to read, and considering the subject matter, it really shouldn't be.
I do like the bit at the end where Banner has a revelation about his relationship with Betty Ross. That was the only bit of near-brilliance in an otherwise tepid story. It's too bad Sale rarely collaborates with anyone else, because I'd love to see him work with a writer who can keep up with him.

Fantastic Storytelling, Great Art, More than a Solid Piece
8. September 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Hulk: Gray is the third in Jeph Loeb's re-telling of the original, major superheroes of the Marvel Universe. Daredevil: Yellow retells the origins of the hero through the lens of his long lost first love. Spider-man: Blue does the same, retelling the first part of web-head through the lens of his first encounters with Gwen Stacy, before Parker and Watson were an item. Hulk: Gray goes back to the origin of the Hulk and focuses on the fascination of Betty Ross, the only one who could calm the savage Hulk. The best part about these retellings, I must say, is that unlike say...Enter the Mandarin, they retell the story from the time-period it originally took place rather than modernize it in order to make it more accessible to younger readers.
Blue dipped from the emotional effect of Yellow and the wonder around it. Gray brings it back to Loeb's hit with Yellow and takes it further through expert writing. It has the effect of making it feel like reading a 1960s monster movie, only if such were written by a contemporary master. There's a clever quip in the first chapter where Banner says that most people don't know he used to be gray... which is true, the Hulk was originally intended to be gray by Stan Lee's order in order to make the character race neutral. Sale's artwork takes the story to new heights that even Yellow doesn't reach. There's a lot of black and white, setting a dark and somber mood. The color schemes do well to bring out the emotional aspects of the story to levels that are rarely achieved in comics. I can't tell whether its the art that brings our the story, or the story that brings out the art for both the art and the writing are fantastic. You don't have to be an original Hulk fan to digest this retelling/ret-conning of the Hulk's origin.
