    Writer Sam Humphries takes us out of the story perfectly, with Steve and his warbound, Devil Dinosaur, walking into the unforgiving landscape of Greenland. Like Clint Eastwood in the classic movie Pale Rider, the two never look back. Read Full Review

    It all sounds fun on the surface, and in many ways it is, but it's in the execution "and more importantly the tone " where Planet Hulk #5 falls short. Read Full Review

    This series boasts a great concept but a somewhat mixed execution (mainly due to the ridiculously one-note, Bucky-obsessed portrayal of Steve Rogers). Read Full Review

    In short, I have no idea what the focus or messagefor this series was supposed to be. There's some good ideas that, had they been used differently, did havethe potential forcreating some memorable moments.Instead,we have a storyline that doesn't really go anywhere or say anything worthwhile, which I will forget about in a month or so, and characters that don't really feel like the ones they're based off of. If you're on the fence as to whether or not the SWA Planet Hulk series is for you, I'd recommend you probably sit it out, but if you've read to this point and you really want to see how it ends or just round off the series then go for it, it has a couple of good moments but the bad does outweigh the good.

    Planet Hulk #5 is unfortunate in that it had no real ending it was building towards - and unfortunately, that's a quality that it shares with the last issues of several other Secret Wars tie-ins. Read Full Review
