"HULK PLANET" PART THREE!
Ryan Ottley both draws AND writes this action-packed page-turner that finds Hulk playing this planet's favorite sport-the planet-busting GOD BALL! Now that Hulk finds himself at the center of a civilization that worships him, these other Hulks are more than eager to prove their might to their god...even if that means destroying him when the game turns lethal.
Rated T+
Hulk #11 picks up with Hulk getting to know the inhabitants of the gamma world by playing their favorite game “Godball”. Ryan Ottley pulls double duty here in the writing and art department with Marte Gracia on colors. While the story isn't the most compelling, it still manages to be fun for what it is as Hulk bonds with the people of the planet while sowing the seeds for tragedy and Hulk-like catastrophe in later issues.

Ryan Ottley takes over writing duties on Hulk #11 and, while the issue still suffers from a sudden shift in the series' course, he delivers a fun array of sequences that essentially play out as superpowered sketch comedy from one of the most expressive cartoonists in the business. Read Full Review
I thought it was good!
God it's as lame as it's funny. Typically I don't like such stories, but this time I do. Really good.
I'm finding this a refreshing arc. Not everything has to be end of the world/time. A little world building meanwhile hinting at mounting tension in the shadows
Extremely enjoyable. Art always good
As a fan of this run so far, I wasn't sure what to expect when I found out that Ottley (one of my personal favorite artists) was going to be taking up the writing duties here. After reading, I wouldn't say the scripts are bad whatsoever. However, they're just a little "generic," if that makes sense. The art is great, as usual, and the story itself is good, but I just wish the actual dialogue was written a little better. Hopefully it can improve as this run approaches its conclusion.
I have some worries about the pacing. Why was there a whole issue dedicated to this made up sport? If we didn't have a finite number of issues left, I'd be less concerned. It was fun though.
It's not bad... Not sure where Ottley is taking this, though.
Not bad for a new writer, but this series is just sputtering to its cancellation, destined to be as forgotten as the Jason Aaron and Mark Waid runs.
It's the Hulk-vincible-iest issue yet, which doesn't sit well with me.
