Windbreaker Hulk....The Hulk is exiled into space because he is a threat to mankind, landing on a hostile world where he is enslaved as a gladiator but eventually becomes the king (it takes a while). There his love is expecting,but she and a million others are killed in an explosion he blames on his exiles....Tony Stark,, Reed Richards, Black Panther, and Dr. Strange. The Hulk returns to Earth for vengeance, his rage making his pre exile self seem like the Dalai Lama. He is a windbreaker.Good st...

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. H...

“Puny humans. I’ve come to smash.”

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

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. Never stop making them pay.

A solid hulk story, so much action it almost never stops. Epic battles with a good story make this a near flawless book. The sentry vs the hulk was a show stopper and it was great to watch. Amazing original story with great art. Hulk want more

Following directly out of Planet Hulk (which I thoroughly enjoyed), I had obviously had to read this too. And that took some convincing by that former volume. As I note in my review of it, I always found the premise behind it, Reed Richards, Tony Stark, Dr Strange and others shipping the Hulk off to another planet as a form of exile, to be quite dumb, the basic premise for the World War Hulk storyline struck me as even dumber, and unsuitable. But, Greg Pak delivered a very good narrative in

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.

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.

A powerful end to an amazing saga.The enraged Hulk returns to earth to punish his friends for their betrayal. Chaos and destruction ensues.This is intense. The twist/reveal at the end is a big “holy fuck” moment. The battles are epic. Sentry rocks.This is a book about anger, and the desire to “never stop making them pay.” It explores that concept fully.I’ve really enjoyed Grek Pak’s Hulk, and for anyone who like a great comic book, this is a must.

This is a review of both world war hulk and its predecessor Incredible Hulk: Planet Hulk, a total of 600+ pages of complete carnage and adrenaline. Holy hell does this book know how to keep the action rolling, you don't get to finish one set piece only to find yourself smack in the middle of another one, but I am getting ahead of myself. These two books starts with the hulk being sent away to a different planet by his friends (Doctor Strange, Black bolt, Iron Man, and Mr. Fantastic), feeling bet...

This guy destroyed everyone. There was no one stopping him.

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....

While at least 100 pages shorter and definitely not as good as Planet Hulk, Pak’s follow up World War Hulk is still a hell of a good story and a pretty satisfying conclusion to the entire Planet Hulk arc.This 5 part series is nonstop and Hulk is on a complete and unstoppable rampage, destroying everything in his path. I loved that aspect. Pak wastes no time getting the story going, and, assuming you’ve read Planet Hulk, he doesn’t spend too many pages on backstory or exposition. I also found Hul...

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?

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.

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 an...

Collects World War Hulk issues #1-5Here'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 happe...

After reading Planet Hulk I was pumped for a smash fest of pure blinding rage... thats what we got but 2 things happened that soured me within the story. 1) use of the Sentry at all (not a fan of him) and the worst 2) Hulk beats Zom powered Dr Strange... bullshit, bullshit, bullshit. Those 2 things, especially the Zom part, brought the story from "great" to "it was fine".

I couldn’t believe how bad this was, compared for Planet Hulk. The entire story is Hulk is really mad and he fights everyone. And he wins because he’s the Hulk. And he’s angry. Like really angry. Greg Pak wants you to know he’s angry. Angrier than he’s ever been. That’s literally the least interesting part of The Hulk. We know he’s gonna win. He never loses if he’s motivated. The Hulk is interesting when you explore the dichotomy between Banner and Hulk, or when, like Superman, you make the conf...
