Here’s an excerpt:
This is the single most tense comic book sequence I’ve read all month. Writer Greg Pak knocks this one out of the park with his clever perspective, panel placement, and set-up for tension. This miniseries is a surprise and this issue secures a place for its next issue at the top of my pile as soon as I get home from my comic shop. Good reading! And Leonard Kirk’s art adds to the excellence.
Jen Contino at the PULSE has interviewed writer Greg Pak about his “World War Hulk Aftersmash: Warbound” miniseries. An excerpt:
THE PULSE: What is it about this story that you think is going to win it an audience with today’s jaded comic reader? How does this appeal to the masses?
PAK: One of the advantages about writing a story with relatively new characters is that the audience has the thrill of knowing that literally anything might happen at any moment. So in the “Warbound” miniseries, we can develop our characters’ lives and stories to real conclusions, massive changes, or definitive endings. During the course of the “Planet Hulk” and “World War Hulk” epic, at least five of our major characters died or went missing — that allows for real drama and high impact emotional storytelling.
In a nutshell:
Good issue, great characters, I hope Pak has plans for them after this miniseries.

Comixtreme has posted another review of “Warbound” #1 — this time by Adam Chapman. An excerpt:
This is a very entertaining issue, as we see the irony of the Warbound being in the Hulk’s situation. Pak makes both the Warbound AND Waynesboro relatable and interesting, and sympathetic…. I’m a real fan of Pak’s use of the varied characters here, and Korg and Hiroim remain as awesome as ever. Those two are without a doubt the fan favourites of the Warbound, and for good reason. Both characters are really interesting to read, and the dialogue that Pak supplies works perfectly.

Newsarama has posted a review from Brendan McGuirk of “World War Hulk Aftersmash: Warbound” #1, written by Greg Pak with pencils by Leonard Kirk and Rafa Sandoval. An excerpt:
[Pak] takes great care to flesh out and solidify the personalities of his players, and the effort shines through…. This may be the most familiar “Incredible Hulk†book on the stands. It stars monsters on the run from oppressive government forces hellbent on destroying them without empathy or understanding. People who enjoyed seeing the Hulk out of place during Planet Hulk, should enjoy seeing the situation flipped, with his Warbound acting in his familiar role.
Comixtreme.com as posted an advance review by Blake M. Petit of “World War Hulk Aftersmash: Warbound” #1, written by Greg Pak with pencils by Leonard Kirk. An excerpt:
Greg Pak here makes very good use of some of the threads from World War Hulk that had seemingly been discarded. Our main characters here are painted very sympathetically, and that goes for both sides. We feel for the aliens, trapped on another world, duped into going to war. We feel for Waynesboro, cut off from her support, trying to bring in four alien creatures that don’t actually seem that bad to her.
