Incredible Hulk #715

Those expecting a big action piece may be disappointed, but those who are likely to get invested in character interactions will get something here. Every movie or book needs an emotional underscore or theme somewhere, and the back and forth between the Hulk and Amadeus or the other heroes and Hulk fits the bill. Pick this up when you can, I highly recommend it. Read Full Review

Action gives way to a dramatic showdown between Cho and his Hulk persona all while family and friends descend towards Amadeus. Read Full Review

As a sequel to World War Hulk this is shaping up to be an interesting story. Things don't seem to be having as major an impact on the greater Marvel universe as the last WWH, but with the set-up for the conflict being established I'm still looking forward to seeing where things lead. Greg Pak continues to prove that he knows how to handle the Hulk. Read Full Review

Though nothing of substantial impact happens until the final pages, Cho's continued reign as an aggressive and determined rage monster is a little bit of fun. Read Full Review

The struggle between Amadeus and the Hulk develops internally and externally. There's solid character work going on and a fair slice of action, too. I'd agree that the biggest problem with this story arc is its title; nothing except the protagonist's travel itinerary links this to the original World War Hulk. This issue features more art at a very nicely refined level, virtually every panel is clean and clear and attractive. I think the script also deserves some credit for convincing me to re-engage with the Trunkmonster conflict despite how old it is at this point. Some astute handling of the supporting cast - Greg Pak writes a great Kamala - bolsters the issue further and puts it solidly into "good" territory.

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. I think the problem with this issue is honestly the name, which is more or less the problem with the arc. People read this and expect something similar to what World War Hulk was but we get nothing close to it at all. If you cover up the name and read it as a Hulk comic, this issue, as well as the arc so far, really isn't bad at all. It's pretty interesting and fun. We find the Hulk persona still in charge at the beginning of the issue and Cho trying to escape. Cho finds away to escape and even sends Morse code to his sister to try to take away some of his g amma energy to help release him. It works for a moment and Cho regains control for a bit BUT Hulk fights back and puts Cho in his place again. Alpha Flight makes a guest appearance as well to take away the aliens Hulk challenged and defeated but he refuses to turn them over. Miles and Ms Marvel confront Hulk about his drastic personality change but along with Alpha Flight, is met with defiance from the totally awesome brute. We end the issue with an angry Hulk ready to destroy his would be allies and friends. Again, the title makes it seem like a huge war is going to happen when in reality, the war is mainly between Cho and the Hulk to see who will remain in control. And as interesting as I honestly find this, I think more action and better adversaries would be better suited for this story. More Marvel villains and heroes that are more well known need to be in this to really elevate this story. I am mainly left with these questions; what is the point of the story? And, where do you want the character to progress towards? Is this just a stationary tale to get a battle between Cho Hulk and Banner Hulk, since we now know he's back? ( I'd be all for that!)
