So this isn't exactly smart comics. It's really just Hulk smashing stuff up good, and also virtually every hero who was active at the time. Mostly kind of dumb, sure. But pretty fun all the same. Planet Hulk was a better story, to be sure, in that there was an actual story there. This is really just smashing. But I didn't expect anything else from a book called World War Hulk. Still, there's a moment near the end where Bruce gets to show what he's really made of, and it's a great moment. Just go...more
Three and a half stars. Love watching the Hulk wipe the floor with all the Marvel heavy weights.

I liked this one a lot more than the previous story, Hulk: Planet Hulk. This takes place on earth and involves a bunch of butt-kicking by Hulk and his friends. I know, whodathunkit?! Anyway, Hulk is after Tony Stark, Reed Richards, Black Bolt, and Dr. Strange. Since they were the ones responsible for shooting him into space in the first place, he assumes that the bomb that destroyed his adopted planet (including his wife and unborn child) was somehow rigged to blow by these guys. Um...it makes s...more
A book-length fight scene where misplaced revenge for lost love and betrayal destroys all heroism for hypocrisy and monstrosity. Essentially, that superheroes are stock characters in an inconsequential play of hyperbolic in-fighting. “God help us all” indeed.

The Hulk is coming home, but it's not an occasion to celebrate. Hulk had it all, but then it got wiped away in an explosion. Now he's coming for the four men who sent him into space and God help anyway who gets in his way.
There isn't much to this one, the angrier Hulk gets the stronger he gets and he's never been angrier than he is in World War Hulk. If anyone ever wanted to see The Illuminati members and their teams beat up then this is series for them. It's everyone versus Hulk and his warboun...more

This a pretty good Hulk story, but the ending is a mess. Plus, for a book called World War Hulk, all of the fighting is in New York

Ugh. Romita isn't my fave. Everyone looks the same.
Also, the ego of having one of the Punch noises be 'GRGGPAKKK'? Really? In a book written by Greg Pak? Wow. Deep.
Also, what a fucking lazy ending...Sentry takes on Hulk, and ends up being so powerful, Hulk has to stop him from destroying the planet.
Banner good, Hulk mad, the illuminati still assholes.
Also, why don't we see Black Bolt get his ass kicked? He just appears dead looking after almost taking out Hulk earlier.

The Angriest Hulk as ever been! So although I read this series when it came out, I never wrote a review for it and I bought the trade recently so now is good of a time as any. The story is set after Planet Hulk where Hulk was sent away from Earth by the heroes and once he adopted a new homeworld and had a wife with child, she and the rest of his people were all killed in an explosion. Now Hulk is back on earth to get revenge on all the heroes!

Meh, I liked Planet Hulk about 20x more. Just felt anti-climactic at the end, and not what I expected from such an epic story.
The Hulk hasn’t been my idea of a hero. The onscreen portrayals by Edward Norton and Mark Ruffalo of Bruce Banner have been very enjoyable in terms of the vulnerability that pushes them over to become the rampaging green monster. A slightly long look at the character makes him seem more of a fulfillment of a naive expectation of what a hero ought to be all about. This is a world where every problem is dealt a swift punch to the face until it’s teeth fall out. World War Hulk to me has been one of...more

An excellent Hulk story which I wish was even longer. The collected edition I purchased did not feature any of the tie-in stories featuring Ghost Rider, Punisher, the X-Men, etc. Hopefully future editions include those as well. The story feels epic but I never felt it earned the 'world war' aspect. The story was very confined to New York and I wish Hulk had done a bit more globe-trotting, perhaps collecting each member of the Illuminati from a different country. I also was not a fan of the whole...more

As far as 'Events' go, this is bottom-drawer stuff. I apologise to all you die-hard Hulk fans out there, but this story is inferior to The Incredible Hulk: Planet Hulk in absolutely every respect, from story to art. First of all, Hulk is wrong when he believes some Earth-based heroes (Iron Man, Mr. Fantastic, Dr. Strange, and Black Bolt) are responsible for the spaceship explosion at the end of the 'Planet Hulk' storyline. But of course he doesn't know that and so goes on a rampage and takes the...more

This book really highlights why I wish they would have left the character on the alien planet of the previous year's storyline for another year or two.
Short version: hulk was shot into space because Marvel didn't want to have to deal with him during the Civil War storyline.

God, but this story was dull.
Having made his way back to Earth, Hulk enacts his revenge upon the ones who sent him away in the first place - Black Bolt, Mr Fantastic, Doctor Strange and Iron Man.
This story was just... predictable. Dull. I forced myself to read the entire thing, and wasn't remotely surprised or enthralled by any of it. To be honest, I probably could have guessed how it would end based on hearing the premise.

The Hulk is back on earth and looking for revenge against Black Bolt, Reed Richards, Stephen Strange and Tony Stark for kicking him off the planet in the first place and supposedly killing his wife, kid and friends.
300 pages (of very good art btw) of Hulk kicking the crap out of people and being a huge badass.
Not much story - too much action.

This 11-year-old collection roughly follows some of what we saw in Thor: Ragnarok with Hulk on the planet Sakaar where he starts as a reject and then a slave and then a gladiator and then a champion.
What I didn’t know and that was twisted around for the Marvel Cinematic Universe interpretation of events is that Hulk was deemed to be a danger to Earth so Mr. Fantastic, Iron Man, Black Bolt, and Doctor Strange blasted him to Sakaar.

To be honest, being someone that doesn't read a whole lot of superhero comics (usually just the big important bits), this one, and the previous, pretty well describe the fundamental problem with the stories. Nothing ever changes, no one is ever happy, the world is forever fucked.
Hulk would have deserved it, but no.

Hulk returns to Earth on a mission of vengeance against the heroes of Earth that sent Hulk to another solar system out of fear from Hulk's rage. Big mistake, nothing can stop Hulk's rage. Lots of action and destruction. Check it out.

World War Hulk 2
The aftermath of Planet Hulk is the story of this comic. Hulk has returned to earth to get revenge on Dr. Strange, Reed Richards, Tony Stark, and Black Bolt. As expected, Hulk smashes, but the ending is a little wimpy.
Excellent follow up to Planet Hulk but you must read that first before reading this.
This is pure action and shows how good the Hulk character can be.

Enjoyable for what it was. Many of these events fall flat when they try to seem like they're about something deeply meaningful. Everybody punching each other in creative ways generally works better.

Two notes: I spent a lot of this volume questioning if people were actively trying to piss the Hulk off. And revenge stories are not really for me. Even though I felt strongly for the Hulk, I still had a hard time truly enjoying this.
This one doesn't quite build on the greatness of it predecessor as like a lot of these mass Marvel battles it gets rather messy. Hulk returns from the ravaged Saakar with his Warbound hellbent on revenge against Iron Man, Reed Richards, Dr Strange and The Black Bolt and essentially threatens to destroy the world.

This book was written during a time when I loathed Tony Stark, and I found that residual bitterness for him surface while reading this. You can also see some elements of Thor 3in this story as well, which is really cool.
This would be an awesome Marvel movie! I loved the over the top battle scenes that were made for a the big screen. Highly recommended if you are a Hulk fan!

This book on the surface seems very straight forward, it is about Hulk coming back to Earth, pissed, and ready to smash, and oh boy he smashes EVERYTHING.
As a standalone, I think this only rates a 3 star, as it is enjoyable, but doesn't do a ton of interesting stuff with the characters. However, as a follow up to Planet Hulk and to a lesser degree the Civil War storylines, I think this book really shines as the culmination of a lot of groundwork and development.
