            GAMMA-IRRADATED GLADITORIAL ACTION ON PLANET HULK! ALL-NEW STORY! Green blood will flow and sparks will fly! After escaping the RED KING'S deadly arena, HULK faces ferocious monsters and smashes his way through malicious machines and wild robotic terrors in one of his most important battles of survival on the war-torn planet of SAKAAR! Two possible destinies are at stake! The SAKAARSON, savior of the planet, or the WORLDBREAKER, the legendary destroyer! Will his rage only fuel the chaos of this alien world? Trust us, you're not going to want to miss out as superstar writer Greg Pak returns to his seminal run in this epic, gripping tale!
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.
