2008.05.21 – “WWH – Incredible Hercules” trade paperback

Posted on by

The trade paperback collecting the issues of “Incredible Hulk” that ran during “World War Hulk” hits comic book stores on May 21. Here’s the back cover blurb:

The Illuminati called the Hulk a monster — and shot him into space. But Amadeus Cho, the boy genius who took on Reed Richards, calls the Hulk a hero — and prepares for his return. With just his big brain, a lot of guts, and a few billion dollars stolen from Warren Worthington III, Cho tackles the insane task of building a team of heroes willing to side with the Hulk against the rest of the Marvel Universe. Will Hercules and Angel become the Hulk’s Champions? Will Namor be his Defender? And what happens when the Prince of Power meets the Green King on Manhattan’s shattered streets?

The book collects “Incredible Hulk” #106 to #110, written by Greg Pak, and “Incredible Hulk” #111, written by Pak and Jeff Parker.

Incredible Hercules seems to be getting really formulaic. That formula being it’s going to be really good. You know the tune by now: Herc is one of the most consistently enjoyable and well-done books on the stands today.

Wizard digs “Warbound” #5

Andy Serwin gives “Warbound” #5 the nod at WizardUniverse.com:

The action comes fast and furious, as you’ve come to expect with the Hulk spinoff books, and Pak and Kirk don’t disappoint. There’s even a touching death scene that sets off a whole new status quo, as the Warbound lose one member, only to gain another. Personally, I’m hoping the Warbound don’t take too long a hiatus; I’d like to see them back in a Hulk book ASAP.

“Warbound” #5 was written by Greg Pak with pencils by Leonard Kirk. The book hit stores on Wednesday.
