Every week we'll pick a handful of awesome comics from the thousands available through Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited. From creator spotlights to editor's picks and more, this'll be your spot to find something new and cool.
It's Hulk Month, and that means we're unleashing new Hulk content every day, including fresh Gamma-blasted Digital Highlights each week! For this week's Hulk Month Highlights, the focus lies on some of our staff's favorite Hulk stories. FANTASTIC FOUR #12
"There's no better and more qualified team than the Fantastic Four (mainly because of The Thing!) for a mission to stop the Hulk. And this is the historic first encounter between the Jade Giant and the ever-lovin' blue-eyed Thing! Any True Believer will appreciate this bombastic battle of two titans -- a classic, stupendously scripted by Stan Lee and dramatically drawn by Jack Kirby!" — Marvel.com Director of Content John Cerilli
TALES TO ASTONISH #93
"A battle between two characters whose limitless powers and distinct colors place them in a league of their own. Bound to the planet Earth, both figures' main objective is to head for the stars and miscommunication of intentions lead to a battle between the two arguably most powerful occupants of the Marvel Universe. Both are surprised at the power and strength of the other when cosmic clashes with gamma radiation in this Stan Lee/Marie Severin tale which truly demonstrates both characters' power." – Marvel.com Intern Doug Cion
INCREDIBLE HULK v3 #92
"The word 'epic' gets tossed around a fair bit, but when it comes to 'Planet Hulk,' there ain't no better way to describe it. And this, my friends, is where it all begins. Greg Pak and Carlo Pagulayan firmly establish the world of Sakaar's harsh realities, wealth of creatures and major characters, while proving that even though Hulk may've been the strongest dude on Earth, he's at the bottom of the food chain here." – Marvel.com Associate Editor Ryan Penagos
INCREDIBLE HULK v2 #364
"With the surly grey Hulk poisoned and running out of time to find a cure, what better time for the Abomination to show up seeking revenge for his past defeats? This issue kicks off the underrated Peter David-penned gem 'Countdown," which has the Hulk confronting the unfamiliar concept of physical weakness even as some of his greatest foes—including the aforementioned Abomination as well as the Thing and the Leader—come after him as he's at his lowest ebb." – Marvel.com Assistant Editor Ben Morse
HULK GRAY #1
"Exploring the inner conflicts that haunt Bruce Banner every second of his life, the HULK: GRAY limited series is a tribute to the Incredible Hulk and to story-telling itself. The story is incredibly compelling and you'd have to be a statue for it not to tug at your heart strings. Both the Hulk and Banner are given extraordinary depth, and the art is simply amazing." – Marvel.com Intern Nick Mercurio

Hulk is one of the most complex characters in the world of comics, his tales are not only about incredible violence, there are also about a tormented soul triying to find his place in a crazy...
In my opinion, Planet Hulk is one of the greatest Hulk tales of all time. The best we've since since the bronze age.
