Hulk Modern Era Epic Collection: Code Red #1

The Hulk Modern Era Epic Collection: Code Red was released as part of Marvel Comics' Epic Collection line, an ongoing initiative designed to reprint classic and modern comic book stories in comprehensive, trade paperback formats. This specific volume serves to consolidate sequential runs of The Incredible Hulk from the mid-2000s, providing readers with a cohesive narrative arc that captures a period of significant character development and shifting creative direction for the protagonist during the modern era of the Marvel Universe.

The design and content of the volume focus on preserving the original artistic contributions of various illustrators and writers who defined the Hulk's journey during this timeframe, most notably the work of Bruce Jones. The collection was curated by Marvel editorial staff to serve as an accessible entry point for fans and a definitive reference for archival purposes, emphasizing chronological storytelling and high-quality reproduction of the original penciled, inked, and colored pages as they first appeared in the primary monthly comic series.
