First HULK comic I've ever read. Love it. I've been a manga fan for several years now, though the only 'american' comics I read were the funnies. Recently I picked up Spider Girl at random with a gift certificate, and was re-introduced to the varvel world. As for Hulk, the only thing I remembered about it were vauge fuzzy, but warm, memories from early morning cartoons. My friends were talking about World War Hulk, mentioned this, and I bought it to find out what they were talking about. From personal experince I can honestly say that even if you haven't read Hulk, or comics in general, the story line is easy to follow and very well written. There are twists, I didn't expect Hulk to 'dis' the people that came to rescue him, and the art is superb. This story fits as a stand alone and as part of a larger one. As cheesy as it sounds, this comic is 'incredible' and belongs in any comic/manga collection.
I can not understand why this is not.. Dear god... I cried, I laughed, and I loved the characters! This is not just the best Hulk story EVER, but this is the best comic series I have ever read! READ IT!
Quite possibly the best TPB Marvel has put out in years!!! I wasn't even that big of a Hulk fan but this book made me one! Amazing story, amazing artwork, incredible concept. Best way to describe it is Hulk meat Conan with aliens, plus the Silver Surfer is in it!!! Very epic storytelling and very imaginative. Quite possibly the best TPB Marvel has put out in years. Buy this you won't be disappointed.
Best Hulk Story Ever Told This has become my all time favortie graphic novel. It is an epic story line, beautiful art, and some amazing battles (Hulk vs. Silver Surfer..enough said). Think "Gladiator", but instead of Russell Crowe as Maximus Orileus it's The Hulk as... The Hulk-That's another thing I loved, you barely see Bruce Banner. Other than a couple pages it's a Hulk only show. Tell your friends, family, tell a stranger to pick this up.
In Tradition of The Incredible Hulk In tradition of the Incredible Hulk, Planet Hulk is a story of the Hulk's pure rage continuing into World War Hulk (Another great story). This book was hard to put down and difficult for me to explain my absense for the 24 hour period I read it from front to back. We find out the breaking point of Bruce Banner/The Hulk and how hard it is to come back from the anger within after being betrayed by S.H.I.E.L.D/Illuminati. Hulk goes from nothing, to slave, to gladiator, to king, to being royaly angered and betrayed as the planet he has conquered is destroyed. This is one of the best storylines the hulk has ever seen. It's great and just down right fun from beginning to end.
