 Looking to finally read the Immortal Hulk since alot of people here say its great. What should I reach beforehand? Last thing I read specifically Hulk-wise was World War Hulk and the Hercules run (awesome).

e: I guess I should post this in the recommendation thread.

I'm putting this in a separate post because I don't mean to call out the previous poster, God knows I've done it myself.

But the idea "oh, before you read this really good comic you need to read all these other comics first" is really loving dumb. I read Bendis' Daredevil before I read Born Again and I was able to accept the premise "All these thugs are pretty drat sure Matt Murdock is Daredevil and that leaks out" without the backstory. Also Kingpin was blind at the start of that and I still have no idea how that happened. But the book still worked for me.

If you hear that a comic is good and you want to read it, just read the comic, don't worry too much about research.

I'm going to just read Immortal Hulk, thanks everyone.

But I remember before reading House of X finding a reading list of comics beforehand, and none of them were necessary, but it was hella fun to catch up with the characters and see how they've changed, I guess I was going after that. No worries.

 I just read Morrison's run in XMen and it was a great read. The characters never felt so real and complex and the dialogue was a whole nother level
