See how the Power Cosmic transforms these once-familiar champions, twisting and turning all of Marvel history in their wake! In this tale, Galactus has conscripted Earth's strongest warrior - the Incredible Hulk - into his service.

What If? Galactus Transformed Hulk is an awesome one shot with a lot of heart. The only detraction is that we aren't getting more of this. Bring this team back to write an Incredible Hulk series NOW! Highly recommend picking this up at your LCS this week. Read Full Review

While What If...? Galactus Transformed Hulk? #1 has a compelling concept and stunning visual moments, it struggles to deliver a self-contained narrative, leaving readers with an unsatisfying sense of incompletion. Fans of alternate Marvel realities may enjoy the exploration of Hulk as Galactus' herald, but its lack of closure might frustrate those looking for a definitive story. Read Full Review
Ultimately, What If? Galactus Transformed Hulk? is a mixed bag. The artwork is good, but the story feels like it needed a stronger ending and a deeper exploration of Banner's character. It also could have used a central fight scene more thrilling than yet another Hulkbuster battle. Read Full Review
The big problem here is there's not enough pages to flesh out the story. The what if series has had some good concepts lately but the writing never seems to do them justice. This issue heads in the right direction and hopefully the rest of the Galactus what if themed books are decent but with this page count and what seems to be middle of the road writers I don't have much hope.
