world war hulk 1.

The Hulk’s on his way back to Earth, and he’s really, really angry.

It seems like DC / Marvel found the perfect way to cash in — a major “major” event every year! Think about it — core story books plus tie-ins plus guides plus the epilogue chapters? Cha-ching!

2007 is the year of World War Hulk! Following the events of “pre-Civil-War, Illuminati-sending-the-Hulk-to-space” plot, the Hulk comes back to Earth, ready to deliver a payback, for which the world has to pay for.

The opening chapter is an enjoyable read, just slightly flawed at different parts. The art, while amazing, leaves me wanting. I’ve just been spoiled by Copiel’s work for House of M and Civil War, I guess.

The good includes The Hulk’s loss of humanity — he refers to everyone on Earth as “puny humans,” who, according to him, “are all the same — they have to be crushed.” And the fight with Ironman? What sucks is what happens off-panel. He apparently took down Blackbolt, but we never get to see the whole fight. And what is up with the “full pardon” for fugitives who help out in the Hulk problem?

World War Hulk 1 is an entertaining start for a series that’s “bound to change the Marvel U as we know it.” (And how many times have we heard this line before?)

4/4
