I've just finished reading Peter David's first four omnibus volumes of his Incredible Hulk run and I loved it, particularly the first three, though I felt the fourth volume was interrupted by the Onslaught and Heroes Reborn nonsense, before ending on a high note (or low note if you will) of Betty's death.
It's interesting that the Hulk I always knew, the savage dumb Hulk basically never appears, even Joe Fixit and the post-Onslaught Hulk have a high degree of intelligence.
