Rated T
This is a pretty good start to the story, and things will have to ramp up to keep the momentum going. Everything combines to make a decent start, but we'll see if it can keep it going. Read Full Review
The new and improved Hulk makes for a fun read, but the fireworks have yet to truly begin. Greg Pak sets the stage beautifully, but readers will likely end up wishing they had a bit more to chew on. Read Full Review
Overall this is a fairly average Hulk story. Hulk gets mad and he smashes. As the beginning to a World War Hulk sequel it's slow but thankfully different enough from the original to warrant it's existence. I'm curious to see where things lead. Read Full Review
Though INCREDIBLE HULK #714 has its moments of intrigue, it ultimately falls short through its lackluster narrative. Read Full Review
The Incredible Hulk has reestablished its footing and is prepared to do some real damage. Wherever "World War Hulk II" goes, it looks to be one wild ride. Read Full Review
The Trunkmonster Hulk returns to Earth, and his supporting cast begins to realize something is wrong after he administers a vicious beating to an old foe. It's satisfying to FINALLY fire the Chekov's gun that was set up two years ago with the Trunkmonster personality split. Replacing random Sakaar mooks with the book's established supporting cast is good, too. The pace is a little slow and the Sherlock Holmes fight mechanic ripoff is disappointing. Some top-shelf art compensates for the script's weaknesses; this is exactly the way Cho-Hulk should look.
A lot of what made me like Cho as the Hulk was the control he had. I thought when they had him lose control to the Hulk it would just be Banner again, but they gave it an interesting twist. I am not sure how to feel about another World War Hulk, but it is not a bad start and that is just a name meant to sell books. Having members from his Champions team was a fun touch. It is not a a bad issue for a jumping on point if you are interested.
Welcome to the Oblivion Bar where the first round is on me and the pretzels are free! Be warned: like the pickled eggs at the bar, this issue is going to get SPOILED rotten.
So the Totally Awesome Hulk liberated Planet Hulk again, even though I thought it was destroyed, and came back to earth looking to start a war with anyone who has crossed his path.
Someone else appears to be in the drivers seat of Hulk right now, maybe a different personality of Amadeus Cho? But this Hulk seems more strategic, smarter, and overly confident. He’s literally picking a fight with everyone who wants one on earth while the Champions look on, Black Panther, and even Wolverine. We shall see who comes out to get him in the next issue. more
Sakaar, or sucker, however its spelled, was wrapped up way too quickly and succinctly. But, this hulk didn't kill. Now, he's still not killing. In an obviously-stolen-from-the-recent-sherlock-holmes-movie way, Hulk takes out the bad guy speedily and safely why still smashing. It's great. So why are they playing it up like it's a bad thing?
I'm giving it a 7 cause it was (ONCE AGAIN) too short, confusing, and it ripped off a movie. I should give it a lower score for all that, but the art is still on point. And I'm still holding out hope that they don't ruin the Hulk with any s-j-dub pussy-footing that seems to permeate and pervade most other series.
