Incredible Hulk #709 gets “Return to Planet Hulk” of to an amazing start, reflecting the tone and atmosphere of the original, whilst being unique and of itself. Delivering an engaging narrative that transports Amadeus Cho to Sakaar, the creative team waste no time in grabbing our attention. In doing so not only do they lay the foundation for what's to come, but highlight the control Cho has over the big green monster. Read Full Review
"Return To Planet Hulk" gets off to a great start, hellbent on winning over skeptics and the anti-Amadeus community. It's time to give this Hulk a chance as we revisit Sakaar with the same man who took us there the first time. Read Full Review
It just wasn't very exciting to read and nearly impossible to care about. In a way, this runs the risk of diminishing the power that Planet Hulk had. But that will depend upon where Pak and Land go with it in the remaining issues. Read Full Review
Great Hulk action! Looks fantastic.
I never read Planet Hulk (need to add it to my Marvel Comics Unlimited list) but this story still works for me. It's Hulk put into the world of Mad Max with added monsters - who wouldn't have fun? I know Land is a controversial artist and I run hot and cold on him but find this to be on the better end of my enjoyment spectrum with him.
They send out Hulk Into Space, which always is a progress.
Greg Pak and Greg Land spew up *just so many* words and pictures to say "Sakaar turned into Fury Road after Banner Hulk left." (Which I think contradicts a *bunch* of follow-up development *done by Greg Pak* but whatever.) Hair-Gel Hulk settles into protecting innocents and fighting gladiator fights, and Mr. Pak's script offers the raw materials for a nice "Cho's Trunk Monster = the Worldbreaker" comparison. There are sharp limits to how much credit I'll extend an author for giving me a Character Development Kit rather than actual character development, though. Mr. Land's art is polished, as ever, and thoroughly generic, as ever.
