Planet Hulk Review

Happy Ho Ho Hulk month everybody! Today we're continuing the Hulky goodness with my review of the comic series Planet hulk! If you like gladiators, renegade androids, aliens and radioactive superheroes then this is the comic for you.

So heres the story, The Illuminati which consists of Iron Man, Reed Richards of the Fantastic 4, Black Bolt of the Inhumans, Dr. Strange, Prince Namor, and Prof. Charles Xavier of the X-men, have all rallied together under Iron Man's request to decide what to do with the Hulk after his latest rampage destroyed Las Vegas. They devise a scheme, much to the objection of Prince Namor who says "the Hulk will return and kill you, and he will be right" epic! The trap results in the Hulk being sent to an uninhabited alien planet. At least that was the plan, the ship gets misdirected through a wormhole and lands on planet Sakaar which is a conqured gladiator like planet where inhabitants are constantly subjected to Darwinian challenges where only the fittest survive. Hulk becomes enslaved and meets a few other captives. immediatey he begins to stir up trouble. He kills several creatures and gets in a fight with the Red King (the ruler of the planet) but is soon knocked unconcious. Hulk then awakes, kills more creatures and is sent to a gladiator school and teams up with a rock monster named Korg and 6 other combatants and kills yet again more creatures.

This continues throughout the series with epic battles (including one with The Silver Surfer) and cool creatures! As well as Hulk becoming the new conqurer and taking a wife, and though the series ends in tragedy it births titanic vengence.

So my review, well the negatives are that the dialogue can be dull at times and the fights do get redundant, as well as the story dragging on a bit to long. But on the positives, it's epic, action packed, great story, i love th art and it has parallels to Sun Tzu's 'Art of War' if you've got the time I definately reccommend it. If you dont want to read it they also have a movie that was pretty good.

Thanks for reading as always!
