Redemption song
The story - after a whole year without the Hulk, he´s back, greener and meaner, the strongest there is, and as the clash of titans is about to begin - Hulk Vs Skaar - we found out that Banner´d see the coming of all of it: the defeat of M.O.D.O.K and the Leader as well as becoming the Hulk again.
The writting - Greg Pak deserves all the credits for this sucessfull run in this book: it´s intriguing, mysterious, lots of adventure, there aren´t no cliches, filled with good dialogues all the time and an amazing relationship father/son. I didn´t know his work before "Hulk", but since Planet Hulk this guy is showing that he´s a competent writer, perhaps on of the best in Marvel this days. The way he uses "Caiera" to anger Hulk was great. Hope he continues with this book for a long time.
The art - D'Armata colours are brilliant, powerful and what an amazing penciler that Paul Pelletier is, he´s awesome, I´m a huge fan of his work and I think that he outbested himself doing this run in the Hulk and this issue is the cherry on top of the sunday, the gold medal, perfect, flawless, maybe one of the best issues of comics ever!!! I´ve always loved the Hulk character, because of his inner battles, his dilemmas, his psychological confrontations, the fact that he is raw, savage and uncontrolable power, and that´s all it´s about in this issue: past, present and future. Banner´s inner demons and forgiveness. A huge batlle and Skaar finding out that the Hulk isn´t such a monster. It was a perfect issue, emotional, well executed, with action and an excellent story. Too bad it was Pelletier´s last issue, but he´s coming back in the Chaos King saga, so that´s a relief.
This is a historic edition, a must have, perhaps one of the best Hulks ever penciled!!!!
5 out 5 World War Hulks
