Hell yeah!
“May he who dies, die well.”
This is how you write a Hulk story.
Hulk is my favorite comic book character, by far. I’m actually more of a DC guy, but … Hulk. He’s a monster. A beast, a weapon of mass destruction. Yes, OK, he’s also a scientist and there is lots of baggage to lug around, but it’s Hulk. The personality / emotional problems are icing on the cake window dressing. Pak knows that Marvel’s bread is buttered when there is plenty of smashing going on.
One of the many great things about the character is the fecundity of the story, he has multiple personalities and so we see savage Hulk, Joe Fixit, World Breaker Hulk, etc. Here, writer Greg Pak and a host of talented illustrators ask the delicious question - almost like Garth Ennis’ Homelander - if Hulk turns bad, what are you going to do about it?
Hulk has gone to live on an alien planet and then Earth’s superheroes mess up BADLY, and Hulk comes back to settle the score. Holy Moly.
We also get to see some Sentry action. This dude kind of came out after I had stopped reading single issues, in the 90s, I have taken that hobby back up, but he’s a character with whom I don’t have much familiarity and Pak leaned in hard on his emotional disorders and this kind of made me think about how they used to write for Molecule Man, a being of such god-like powers that they need to build in some problems or he would just take over the narrative (like Superman, ahem) anyway, I liked that Pak and team included him in this story.
Good fun.

Very fun Hulk crossover, with powerful storytelling by John Romita Jr (if you like that sort of classic art) and with Greg Pak's writing it seemed like the culmination of all the Hulk stories that had come before. Felt like real world-ending stakes, even though it's a superhero comic and we all know it goes back to the status quo eventually.
Hulk was so pissed!

I've been wanting to read this for a while, so I was happy to see it come up affordable on Kindle (and incidentally it's free to read if you have Amazon Prime). This was a very good graphic novel. This is and World War Hulk Prelude are my first forays into Hulk-Centric graphic novels, and I started out strong with these two.
Hulk is a very sympathetic character despite the mayhem he's capable of. I like that they don't portray him as a dumb muscle head. He's thoughtful and keen at strategizing. He has understandable reasons for his rage and his desire for revenge, and deep down, I don't believe he ever wanted to harm innocents. Having said that, he is not playing around with the men he considers the architects of a very tragic event that occurs on Skaar. He's fairly ruthless in his vengeance against them.
The art was beautiful, and I love how Kindle has a function where you can zero in on a specific pane and through the pages. It's wonderful. I will definitely be looking at reading more graphic novels on my Kindle, considering this function.
Readers who love Hulk should really get a kick out of this book. I have slowly become more of a Hulk fan over the years. I grew up when The Incredible Hulk live action show came on tv and it was so sad and tragic that this is how I see Hulk, as a character who is misunderstood and not villainous, although certainly antiheroic in spots. This book seems true to my understanding of Hulk.
Lately, I've seen Tony Stark as a jerk. That hasn't changed with this book. He's very arrogant, thinks he has all the answers and makes decisions based on his sense of rightness that doesn't always result in good consequences, and he doesn't seem to own up to the fact that his poor decisions have that effect. I liked how the author turns around the questions of who the real monster is. One might assume it's Hulk, but the humans make some lousy choices that have monstrous consequences and that makes the spotlight fall on them as much as Hulk.
This book also touches on issues of loyalty and friendship. How we should always think about what we know about a person before jumping to conclusions. Sometimes people surprise it is good and bad ways, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't trust what we know about a person we've come to love and respect as a friend.
I would definitely recommend this graphic novel.

JUST EPIC WOW!
Hulk returns to earth after the whole Planet Hulk ordeal after he lost his wife and child and he is here for blood and to smash. He targets Black Bolt first and then Iron man and the latter's plans fell and he makes his way through the Illuminati smashing everyone who stands in his way and its epic the way its done plus when the gladiatorial fights starts thats the highlight and shows the brutality of it all and then Dr Strange powered up and all, but it won't put a scratch on him.
Enter their last hope the sentry and when the truth is revealed, its an emotional roller coaster ride, friends fight friends, hulk smashes everything, fall of the warbound with the very existence at stake.
Its an epic story with so much heart and like has so many great action scenes and is just pure adrenaline rush and just shows the Worldbreaker at his full power and teases hints of things to come and the art by Romita maybe the best of his career like just wow.

Almost all action!
A whole lot of destruction in this one. The Hulk almost too powerful. Where was Thor? Need to read more.

Not as compelling as Planet Hulk, alas. And for a "World War" 99% of the action took place on Manhattan Island. I know it's a Marvel book and all, but that felt like a real lack of scope and depth.

Planet Hulk was alright but this is all kinds of fun. Battle after battle this is an exhilarating read. And the writing keeps up with the action. Also some of the best art Ive seen from John Romita Jr.
May 7, 2023
Now that’s more like it. After an overblown and overstretched Spartacus rehash, Pak lets go. Five issues of massive smashing. Five issues of the jolly Green Giant beating the living shit of the guys who sent him into space.
I’ll (not too) guiltily admit it was damn fun to see these 4 stuffed hypocrites getting their asses handed down to them. Romita Jr draws huge fistfights, buildings destruction and boom blasts. It’s not his best stuff but it does the trick nonetheless.
So don’t try and look for something profound or anything. Just chill and enjoy this exhilarating no-brainer.

This collection [World War Hulk (2007) #1-5] picks up where “The Incredible Hulk: Planet Hulk” left off. “Planet Hulk” sees Hulk arriving on the harsh planet of Sakaar where he engages in a series of adventures that take him from enslaved gladiator to king. I reviewed that work recently, and enjoyed it more than this one, though both are from the same author and each tells an intriguing story. The “Planet Hulk” story was just more intricate and thought-provoking -- we see a change in the Hulk and the events that bring those changes about.
In “World War Hulk,” the Hulk returns to Earth, seeking revenge upon the “Illuminati” group who jettisoned him into space (i.e. Tony Stark / Ironman, Doctor Strange, Reed Richards / Mr. Fantastic, and Black Bolt.) Said revenge isn’t so much for shooting him into space, but because the craft that they sent him to space in blew up leveling Sakaar’s capital city and killing (among many others) his brand new Queen. So, the story is just the Hulk trying to put a beating on the four superheroes who shot him into space as they try to not get beaten (and to keep a [mostly] evacuated New York City from being leveled.] The Illuminati quartet face a number of problems, however. First, while they might have had the combined ability to defeat the Hulk before (at least teamed with the many other heroes at their disposal -- and many are present from street-level vigilantes to big leaguers like the Fantastic Four,) the Hulk is madder than ever, and thus stronger than ever (but also wiser / more experienced.) Second, the Hulk now has his own monster-level “Warbound” entourage (i.e. Korg, Miek, Hiroim, Brood, and Elloe Kaifi.) Finally, the one hero who, without a question, has the power to stop Hulk and his Warbound, i.e. The Sentry, is severely agoraphobic and schizophrenic. So, it’s a great challenge to get him out the door and once you do, he’s at risk of schizoid behavior. On top of all that, he contains enough power to destroy the world – accidentally or because of distorted perceptions.
I did like the touch about The Sentry being a basket case. I’m not a big fan of hugely overpowered heroes, but if they have enough weaknesses they can redeem what would otherwise be terminally boring storylines. This is certainly the case with the Hulk who is at his most powerful when he is out of control and who is also, generally, at his least intelligent at those times. The Sentry takes it a step beyond because he’s barely functional. One may be doubtful about someone so powerful being scared to go outside, but it is the nature of mental illness that one doesn’t always see oneself as one is seen and there need not be a sound logic to one’s perceptions of the world.
I’d recommend reading “Planet Hulk” first and – if you enjoy it, which I suspect you might – you’ll probably find following it up with “World War Hulk” worthwhile.

Collects World War Hulk issues #1-5
Here's the quick premise of this book: The Hulk was seen as too dangerous for Earth, so some of the heroes decided it would be better to send him to a planet of his own. Before this book even starts, the Hulk had already been shot into space and has now figured out a way to return. He is back for revenge, so tons of these pages are just the Hulk fighting and rampaging. There are quite a few pages where this is no dialogue because there is so much fighting happening. I actually enjoyed this book, and it was a fast read, so I give it a final rating of 4.5 stars out of a possible 5.
SPOILERS:
The Sentry seemed to be as important of a character as the Hulk in this book. I have seen him in comics before, and I knew he was extremely powerful, but he proved himself to be even more formidable than I expected. I've never seen anyone beat the Hulk out of Banner before (until now). The fight between Sentry and Hulk was so intense that the Hulk just reverted back to Banner. It was crazy.
I thought the very end of the book was a little abrupt, but I was enjoying myself up until that point.
SPOILERS FOR THE NEW 52 SUPERMAN:
The artist for "World War Hulk" was John Romita Jr., and in 2014 he did the artwork for the New 52 Superman. In Volume 6 of that series, entitled "Men of Tomorrow," Superman meets a character named Ulysses. Romita draws Ulysses almost identical to how he draws Sentry in this book. This is interesting because both Ulysses and Sentry have Superman-like powers, and they could be used by writers in similar ways. Marvel has two prominent Superman analogues that I can think of off the top of my head: The Sentry and Hyperion. For readers of this review, who do you think would win in a Sentry vs. Hyperion fight, and why?

Mixed
While undeniably cool, the limits of the Hulk are in display here as a character study of how a moral campus makes Banner interesting or not. The moral calculus of the Avengers' action is hard to square away ultimately, and the Hulk is rendered a somewhat shallow revenge beast. Fun but could have done more with the premise.

It's colorful, fast-paced and full of cameos, but minus two stars. JRR draws some nice battle scenes that are easy to tell what's happening, however every character's face looks the same and I wouldn't be able to tell who was who if they were side by side. Second, writer Greg Pak inserted his own name into one of the punching sound effects. I'm serious.

King Hulk returns to smash the puny heroes of Earth, especially Iron Man, Dr. Strange, Black Bolt and the super smart one from the Fantastic Four, and show the humans who the real monsters are.

Никога не съм имал проблем със самоцелния екшън, но тук сценаристът Грег Пак се бе опитал да заяви и претенции за сериозност и дълбокомисленост, без реално покритие... Двеста и кусур страници нескончаеми битки и кахърни вопли - Ш'ви смачкам!!! - Недей!!! - Ш'ви смачкам!!! - Недей!!! ... Отегчих се още към средата на втория брой и минах останалите на вентилатор. И тия жълто-оранжеви, с размазани контури, рисунки на Ромита Младши, целящи да покажат експлозивността на двубоите, хептен ме отчаяха... Тройка с мъка.

Много добро продължение на Планета Хълк. Да, като фенове харесваме Добряците да бият Лошковците, но явно повече се харесва Добряците да бият други Добряци... Макар да липсва ясната граница колко добряци трябва да пребиеш/избиеш, за да ти се оттегли кандидатурата на Добряк, и да се превърнеш в Средняр/Среднист (и двете думи не звучат добре).

I didn't like this at all. Literally, the only cool aspect of this book was having Korg, Miek and Sakaar. The art was fine, but the story wasn't good.
I especially disliked how Hulk had his plans and deep thoughts, understandings etc. in the Hulk form. I mean, wasn't he supposed to be just quite basic? Bruce Banner things, Hulk smashes. No?
Outside of the scope of the book, but why is She-Hulk not just called Hulk? I understand that traditionally it might be one way, but really... Why?

Reread April 2024 for Chrises of Infinite Earths
The first time I read this, I hadn’t read Planet Hulk or the Illuminati. I may have already read Immortal Hulk…very backwards.
Much more enjoyable this time around. The giant punch punch was fun the first time, but shallow without context.
Read for smart guys learning about consequences, and big bam pows.

Better than I remembered. It’s a fitting conclusion to the Planet Hulk Saga, and it pays off many of the threads set up by the Illuminati, Civil War, and Bendis’s New Avengers. Some of Romita’s best work.

Mucha acción y dilemas, lo que se disfruta de un cómic decente.

I was really impressed with this comic, mainly because of the incredible art style. John Romita beautifully captures the intensity of the battle, particularly in the final stages of the comic, where the light intensity is great. I felt that a lot of emotion is captured in Hulk, who can historically be seen as a bit of a one-dimensional character.
The story is interesting. Hulk has been tricked into exile to the planet Sakaar but manages to return after losing his wife in an explosion that he blames Stark, Richards, Strange, and Black Bolt for. Angrier than ever, Hulk is an unstoppable force that threatens to destroy the entire planet.
The comic is full of so many characters that it feels like a real treat to see so many heroes together.
The reason I haven't given this a five-star review is that the writing, at times, felt a bit flat. Occasionally, there were moments when I felt the characters repeat themselves. I think I counted at least four times where they stress that Sentry is an agoraphobic schizophrenic.
Would definitely recommend to comic enjoyers

This was wonderful and pissed-off Hulk is a very scary monster indeed. The story moves on from the last volume Planet Hulk where Hulk sets up a life in Sakaar but that is destroyed by a bomb in the ship he comes to Sakaar. But now Hulk and his gang of aliens from Sakaar are on Earth and Hulk is ready to kill everyone and destroy everything. And this was a powerful story. But of course, things have to settle down after all Hulk is still a hero, not a villain.
I have always loved comics, and I hope always to love them. Even though I grew up reading local Indian comics like Raj Comics, Diamond Comics, or even Manoj Comics, now's the time to catch up on international and classic comics and Graphic novels. I am on my quest to read as many comics as I can. I love comics to bits, may the comics never leave my side. I loved reading this and love reading more, you should also read what you love and then just Keep on Reading.

This comic has action, look elsewhere if you're expecting a thought piece. Even in the first issue there are good brawl scenes. The basic gist is that it's just different heroes trying to fight the Hulk. There's a bit of background , but that's pretty much it. Hulk is angry and he wants to fight. I enjoyed seeing everyone give it their shot. Not having read The Incredible Hulk: Planet Hulk, I didn't feel like I was missing out on anything. There are enough flashbacks and explanations to follow this book if you start here.
The artwork is solid.

The Hulk is justifiably rageful.
Cue a couple of hundred pages of smash, smash-o, smasharoonie.
Take even a sip of beer every time someone screams in rage of pain and you’ll be blasted by the back cover.
It’s a smash-em-up comic.
Nothing wrong with that.
3.5 stars.

Mostly self-contained story, but you still need to know about Sentry (I did not) in order to follow some of the plot. But it was an entertaining and fast read. Really enjoyed the illustrations in this one.

Not a bad sequel, although it seemed pretty short and some stuff I think could’ve been fleshed out a bit more. It does its service as a conclusion to the story and sets up to introduce Skaar and whatnot, give it a read!
