An excerpt:
I am now rabidly curious as to what will happen to the Hulk after WWH, ’cause things can’t be the same… It’s another shot out of the park by Pak, Romita and company, and it’s a solid 4.5 star out 5 effort. I’m actually stunned, even if I did suspect that this was where it was going.

Bryant Frattalone gives “World War Hulk” #4, written by Greg Pak, a four bullet review at SilverBulletComicBooks.com. An excerpt:
Pak continues to turn this story on its ear here and over in the main Incredible Hulk title. I don’t think it’s going in the direction most people thought it would but instead is setting up intriguing dynamics for the future of this character and his relationship with the Marvel Universe of heroes as a whole. Pak does this while presenting what is initially perceived as a simple straight forward story of revenge. I mean look at my plot synopsis. It’s one sentence and that is basically the overarching theme of this issue. But, there is so much going on underneath that statement its staggering and compelling at the same time.
An excerpt:
This has been the ultimate in summer popcorn comics, a terrifically drawn and well-told tale of retribution, shredded allegiances and, well, smashing.

Full of praise for Amadeus Cho, Hannibal Tabu has added “Incredible Hulk” #110 to his Buy Pile at ComicBookResources.com. Here’s an excerpt:
Amadeus Cho seems beyond brilliant, tossing out bon mots and abstract geometry with equal ease (to the new Scorpion: “Look, you might have a poison arm, an exposed belly button and a summer job at SHIELD, but you’re not the boss of me …”) and virtually unflappable aplomb. He steals every scene he’s in, and the title character’s almost a supporting player. Get this kid his own title, stat, he’s magic!
An excerpt:
How great is Amadeus Cho? Greg Pak has handled every aspect of Planet Hulk and World War Hulk brilliantly, but his elevation of Amadeus Cho has been a great bonus.
All five of the reviewers at ComicPants.com have added “Incredible Hulk” #110, written by Greg Pak, to their top five lists. From Randy Lauer’s comments:
Pak addresses the notion of whether or not Hulk is a killer in the midst of World War Hulk, and makes it more than just a continuity implant, but instead a great story as well, driven by the character Amadeus Cho, who I’d really like to see more of. Best Hulk issue in quite a long time, in my opinion.
From Nick Budd’s comments:
Pak has actually become one of my favorite writers right now. He gets the Hulk and his explanation as to why the Hulk has never killed before is fantastic. Honestly, I want him to stick with the book for as long as possible. Years if at all possible.
Blake M. Petit raves about “Incredible Hulk” #110 in an advance review at Comixtreme.com. Here’s an excerpt:
Pak does something incredible this issue – he gives us a plausible explanation for the simple most implausible thing about the Hulk since the very birth of the character. Not only does his explanation make sense, but it plays flawlessly into the WWH storyline.
