Rated T
The issue suffers slightly from gladiatorial creep - the traditional "face impossible odds in the fighting arena" bit - but the action is fierce and it'll be fun to see where the story goes from here. Read Full Review
The Incredible Hulk #710 continues an exciting "Return to Planet Hulk" storyline that successfully delves into the internal struggles of the Hulk. Although at times it relies too heavily on the popularity of previous Incredible Hulk books, a strong script and a talented artistic team make this a worthy issue that will keep you on the edge of your seat and leave you anticipating what's to come.

Overall, the issue doesnt do much to captivate. More than anything, we get 20 pages of familiar action and a predictable cliffhanger, which sort of defeats the purpose of a cilffhanger. It will be interesting to see how the Return to Planet Hulk evolves from here, but for now the story doesnt feel like a follow up as much as a rehash. Read Full Review
The peripheral characters and plot is hard to follow. It's tough to differentiate factions and motivations despite a valiant effort by Greg Land and Frank D' Armata. The Mad Max landscape with a heavy shade of gamma is tastefully portrayed. So far, this return to Sakaar has been mostly a blast. Read Full Review
The Hulk clears one gladiatorial hurdle and waits patiently for the next one. Meanwhile, serious realpolitik is going on right under his nose and he remains oblivious. For the Marvel universe's eighth-smartest hero, Hairgel Hulk sure does act like a knob most of the time. Greg Land's art has polish, but there's a credible fault against it: It's already *hard as heck* to care about Sakaar's population of random red muppets; Mr. Land isn't helping by making them difficult/impossible to tell apart. The sheer squandering of potential here does disappoint me. Why even bother going back to Planet Hulk if this is all we're doing with it?
