In the end, Return to Planet Hulk was an enjoyable story, but it doesn't deserve the name it was given. The characters weren't nearly as memorable, the villain was a cardboard cut-out and it fails to live up to it's name. If it had a new setting and name it would have been a perfectly fine story, but in the end all it managed to do was hurt itself in the process. If you're new to Hulk you'll enjoy the story fine, but for readers like myself that know of the original, you'll probably be left feeling unsatisfied. Read Full Review

Hulk Saves the Day. Inside Amadeus's Hulkmobile metaphor, the kid falls to the Trunkmonster. While that's hypothetically ominous as all get-out, it has approximately zero effect on the pro forma conclusion of the Sakaar story. The Warlord, leading contender for "most generic nemesis 2018," is killed after being beaten by the Hulk. Amadeus doesn't even get to worry about the ethical implications of the killing; one of his random bug-people followers handles the shanking. The rest of this comic's storytelling sins are minor, but the Hulk dodging that killing is a huge mistake. In fact, the story would work so much better with the Trunkmonster forcing Amadeus to kill that I wonder if that wasn't the direction Greg Pak wanted to go before being editorially vetoed. more
