Meh... The cover shows Iron Man, Hulk, Hercules, etc., all of whom are primarily featured in the "Aftersmash" one-shot (reprinted here). The remainder of the book is comprised of the "Damage Control" limited series, which tries to be funny but instead ends up being lightweight. The artwork is pretty good, but mainstream Marvel fans will be left scratching their fanboy heads.
World War Hulk Damage Control I didn't like this item of the world war Hulk, the first part is kind of interesting, where you see the warbounds, and what happens to them after the war is over, and you might enjoy the proytct for the reocnstruction of New York, but the talking building is too much, and frankly, I found it disrespectful for the comic fans.
The aftermath In the aftermath of World War Hulk stands a decimated New York City and a ravaged populace as Damage Control begins, with Tony "Iron Man" Stark and S.H.I.E.L.D. helping to clean up the mess. We also see what develops as the Hulk's Warbound are taken into custody, as well as the aftermath of the involvement of Hercules, Amadeus Cho, and co. to boot. This TPB is really only worth checking out if you followed World War Hulk pretty closely (the event didn't seem to have as much overall impact compared to Civil War or currently Secret Invasion) or care as to how the place recovered after the cataclysmic battle between the Hulk and Sentry. If you don't, there really isn't anything here that'll hold your interest. Still, what's featured here isn't bad, and there's pretty good artwork throughout as well. All in all, if you dug World War Hulk and are curious as to how the Marvel universe recovered, Damage Control is worth checking out.
