Book Reviews of Incredible Hulk: Planet Hulk
Book Review: A true Hulk epic
Summary: 5 Stars
As a child of the '70s, I bought, scrounged for and read pretty much every issue of every Marvel Silver Age title from about 1962 to '79. This included a complete run of "Hulk" books back through the "Tales To Astonish" days, up through the grievously awful, played-out ploddings of the mid-1970s, and by the time of that decade's end, I was pretty much done with the jolly green giant. From time to time I would pick up random issues of old favorite titles, and I was dimly aware of the ponderous pop psychology of the ongoing Banner-Hulk psychodrama, and of the Bruce-was-abused-as-a-child thread, which seemed like a mistake (and which unfortunately made ts way into the Ang Lee film, much to my dismay...)
Anyway, this is all by way of introduction to say that I am an old-school Hulk fan, a kid who grew up and got bored with the whole "Hulk Smash" thing, even during the times when he was hyperarticulate or gray-colored, or whatever. I still look forward to crossovers where Hulk has an opportunity to, say, peel Tony Stark's armor off or give some other deserving do-gooder a good thumping, but for the most part, it takes a lot to draw be back into the Hulk's orbit.
So, it is my pleasure to say that "Planet Hulk" was a big, pleasant surprise -- a long, intense, entertaining super-story. Maybe a little too long, but still pretty involving, this Hulk-in-outer-space-exile saga is in large part a retelling of the classic '60s story where Hulk meets green-skinned Jarella and becomes a hero-king on a subatomic world, only to have his happiness snatched away from him at the last minute. ("Planet Hulk" makes clever reference to that old story... and Hulk gets some nookie again, at last)
Also, this is a very violent story, with Hulk both taking and dishing out plenty of physical punishment. In sort of a (poorly explained) reverse-Superman effect, Hulk isn't as totally invulnerable as he usually is, so although he seems to be unkillable, he can be stabbed and burned, which is an interesting twist. Anyway, he's plenty mad at the end of this story arc, so I guess I gotta go get me some "World War Hulk" books next. Make Mine Marvel! (Joe Sixpack, ReadThatAgain book reviews)
