Comic Review: The Incredible Hulk Volume 1

The Incredible Hulk Volume 1

Bruce Banner and the Hulk square off with The Island of Doctor Moreau type monster’s. This last Hulk series before Marvel Now reboot is written by Jason Aaron (Wolverine Weapon X, Ghost Rider) and illustrated by Marc Silvestri (The Darkness, Cyber Force) for the first 3 and Whilce Portacio (Wetworks, Alpha Flight) for the last 4.

The Hulk, sick of Bruce Banner, finds away to separate them into their own bodies. Leaving Banner, Hulk goes to live inside the earth with a race of mole people. Eventually his peace is disrupted by a government agency needing his help. It’s Banner, he is living on a deserted island trying to create Hulk creatures. Reluctantly the Hulk accepts and set’s about to bring Banner down.

This is a great series, hulk fan or not, the Doctor Moreau animals are frigin awesome. Both of the illustrators do a great job of bringing forth the craziness of what Banner is doing and the animal/monsters. If you enjoyed this volume check out the next one, story line gets even better.

Comic Review: Planet Hulk

Planet Hulk

The Hulk is sent to another planet and is enslaved in gladiatorial games. This Mavel Comic title is written by Greg Pak (War Machine, Battlestar Galactica) and illustrated by Carlo Pagulayan (Elektra, Emma Frost).

Waking up in a spaceship the hulk listen’s to a recording. It explains that it’s to dangerous for everyone to have him live on Earth any more. He is being sent to a planet with no other humanoid life. Veering off course he crash lands on a planet called Sakaar. An obedience disk is forced upon the Hulk and he is put into slavery. Sent to an arena along with other slaves, they must fight for their lives in gladiator style games for the pleasure of the King and the people of Sakaar.

A perfect setting for the ferociousness of the Hulk. The artwork helps to show off this brand new planet, its people, wilderness and wildlife. If you enjoyed this comic check out the Planet Hulk animated movie.

Comic Review: World War Hulk

World War Hulk

The Hulk has come back to earth and he is seeking revenge for the destruction of Sakaar. A Marvel series written by Greg Pak (Herc, Dead Man’s Run) and illustrated by John Romita JR. (Thor, Wolverine).

The Hulk is Back on planet earth and he is out for blood. He wants revenge against those who sent him to Sakaar and blew up the planet. One by one he hunts down the members of the Illuminati whom he holds responsible. Anyone who gets in his way, he makes into slaves, forced to fight each other in battle. It looks like the Hulk can’t be stopped.

Following Planet Hulk this series keeps up the quick pace from that comic. The destruction and brutality is intense and unrelenting. Can be read even without reading Planet Hulk.
