WORLD BROKEN! A thousand years in the future, green-skinned Haarg, like Tala and her brother Balo, are reviled and persecuted on Planet Sakaar. So when Balo was kidnapped by an evil priestess, Tala enlisted the help of her Grandpa Cho, the Jen, and Korg of Krona to break him free. But as the priestess reveals her true endgame, only the power of Banner, the Green Scar himself, can stop her. But is that just part of the priestess' plan? Our story of prophecy, damnation and redemption comes to a shattering conclusion!
Rated T+
Pak and Garcia have created an interesting, worthwhile finale for Marvel's emerald bruiser and should the two never return to Banner's world, this makes for a beyond-satisfying send-off. Read Full Review
Planet Hulk: Worldbreaker #5 did not meet my expectations but provided beautiful pages and a conclusion to the miniseries. Read Full Review
Ambiguity became the plot device coupled with silly solutions and pointless story beats that were either never answered or deemed insignificant as Planet Hulk: Worldbreaker comes to a close. Truly, the main purpose of this series was to draw people in with the name, and attempt to find the same success the recent Maestro runs did in hopes to extend the brand. Sadly, that was not the case and Im afraid only did damage to the original Planet Hulk. I would not recommend this issue or this series.

Planet Hulk: Worldbreaker #5 ends the mini-series on a solid but unsatisfying note. The Hulk action makes the world tremble, but the villain's motivations and plan are unclear, and her final moments are left unresolved. You feel like Pak had a point to make, but he never finished making it. Read Full Review
This was fine. I don't think it was really worth my time.
The problem here--and throughout the series, really--is that virtually all the reasons to like/love this story are outside this volume. If you're deeply invested in Sakaar and Amadeus Cho (and Greg Pak's treatment of them), this might be powerful.
Standing by itself, though, the material inside the covers is underwhelming. Neither the ideas nor the storytelling presenting them are interesting. The words and art aren't bad, they're just non-memorable.
