YMMV / The Incredible Hulk (1968)

• Ass Pull: Per Word of God, Peter David wrote himself into a corner in issue #375 where Rick Jones is trapped on a crashing Skrull ship with no way to escape, so after the ship crashes he shows up parachuting down to safety. He explains that he always carries a hidden parachute just in case he is ever trapped on a crashing Skrull ship and needs to escape. Bruce doesn't buy it. "Why not? I needed to, didn't I?" This one scene changed the entire character of Rick Jones from a hanger-on to Batman-level Crazy-Prepared with Medium Awareness.
• Complete Monster: See here.
• Genius Bonus: In Issue #418, Death herself (that is to say, Death of the Endless) appears as a guest in Rick Jones' wedding, and gives Marlo, the bride, a hairbrush as a gift. It could be just a joke about a Psychopomp giving something so mundane as a gift... or it's a reference to the fact that in japanese culture, hairbrushes are considered bad gifts to give, since their name contains the words for pain and death. It could however just be a pun on the phrase "A Brush with Death".
• Harsher in Hindsight: In issue #434, Hulk is accosted by the Avengers while trying to peacefully watch Nick Fury's funeral. He had inadvertently caused his death, so he wasn't welcome there. When the Scarlet Witch tells him so, he goes on a whole rant about his history of being hunted down by the government and the fact that even though Scarlet Witch is an Avenger now, she was a mutant terrorist working with Magneto back when he was an Avenger. He tells her it'd only take the slightest change for her to be in his position now. The Hulk was unambiguously heroic back then, and while he would occasionally turn against his fellow heroes again later down the line, the Scarlet Witch was also no slouch in that regard.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: In an annual during Milgrom's run, Abomination comes Back from the Dead possessed by Tyrannus, prompting Clay Quatermain to remark he sounds "like the Prince of Wales". While it was meant to be because of Tyrannus having a hammier way of speaking than the Russian-born Blonksy, after his Adaptational Nationality in 2008's The Incredible Hulk, it reads a little different.
• Wangst: Rick's reaction to being crippled. Might also count in-universe, given Marlo pretty quickly gets fed up of him saying his life is ruined and he's "not a man anymore".
