Return to Planet Hulk #1 looks like the dictionary definition of epic art, but underneath the brawls and bombast, the story is just spinning its wheels in Sakaar dust. Turn the pages for the visuals and character swagger, but dont expect to find much meat in the plot stew. Hulk smashes, the crowd yells, but someone forgot to bring the story. Is that the point? If so, its a punchline looking for its joke. Read Full Review

After a long break from writing the Hulk, Pak returns for an interesting retcon, and what little is offered here is the best Green Scar you'll see so far (if you want to see more of him besides Planet Hulk, check out his brief return in Immortal Hulk #33). A very good tale, where everything has been set up since a prologue to Planet Hulk. Here, we see the Hulk in a version that varies between a savage persona and even a killer instinct (which Peter David wrote in Tempest Fugit), and Pak develops this very well. For World War Hulk fans, more specifically in issue #2, there are some Green Scar lines that refer precisely to that issue.
