Book Review: I cried!
Summary: 5 Stars
think of a monster who never wanted anything but to be left alone.
that same monster becomes happy and finds love and finds peace.
soon after he loses everything and becomes very angry...very very angry.
Book Review: Freaking amazing
Summary: 5 Stars
I could go into great detail about WHY this is so good, but many people already have. They are right. All you need to know is that it is freaking amazing.Book Review: Space Opera Gladiator
Summary: 4 Stars
I read World War Hulk first, but had been following the hype for Planet Hulk in the year of its publication. I bit the bullet and coughed up the 35 bucks (35 dollars for a paperback comic?!).
The artwork is really wonderful - and the story is entertaining. Just about everything about the story is derivative and I've seen it several times before - every character, the main and side plots - but still it was a good read (probably because of it, rather than despite it - something of a tribute, while forwarding the difficult-to-expand-upon character of The Hulk).
Not a 35 dollar read, mind you, but a good read.
Highlights for me were the fast moving detailed scenes (Flash Gordon meets Gladiator), and The Spike (not quite zombies, or the techno-organic virus of Warlock fame).
Borrow it and give it a read!
Book Review: Looking forward to the next installment
Summary: 4 Stars
I am not much of a Hulk person, so take that into account when reading. The bad news: well it was a bit hard for me to become invested in an alien race and culture that I had never encountered before. There were somethings that were under-developed and left a tad unclear. At times, the story lacked a really COMPELLING narrative and there were times that I couldn't really care less what happened. Also, the planet was just one catastrophe after another, without relaxation of the tension and the development that goes with it. On the good side, there is some great action and there are a few characters that were really moving. I enjoyed Miek and the Silver Surfer was a cool addition. A good book but not likely to be one that I read again and again. Good quality art and ink. I can say this though: I can't wait to see the Hulk's revenge!Book Review: Smashing

Thanks God there is Greg Pak.
He likes the character, more than this: he knows him. The Hulk has never been so well-handled since the 90's. Based on the 1985 Hulk's epic crossroads by Bill Mantlo, and on the Superman's Exile in 1988, Bruce is thrown on a distant, savage and unknown planet, And from slave to king, passing through gladiator and rebel, the Hulk makes friends, saves people and says he doesn't care about puny pinkies - just to save them again. The story is long, though, and sometimes the art doesn't work that well. If you are a Hulk fan, or just like good MARVEL comics, then this is for you.
