An excerpt:
… you really can’t beat World War Hulk. It delivered oodles of action and the smacking around of superheroes without all the tediousness and pretentiousness of Civil War, and come on, everyone loves to see Tony Stark nearly bludgeoned to death by Reed Richards.

Don MacPherson at EyeOnComics.com has given “What If: Planet Hulk,” written by Greg Pak, a stelllar 8/10 rating. An excerpt from the review:
Greg Pak has done an incredible of revitalizing the Hulk franchise at Marvel, and he’s done so not only with a solidly entertaining and action-packed event, but with an interesting and compelling storyline that’s built up over the past two years. Even this What If? one-shot is compelling…. What I like most about these alternate-timeline tales is that they’re grounded in characterization and emotion…
Jeff Johncox, writing in the Comics Corner column of the Norman Transcript, has named the Hulk the year’s “Best Hero” and “World War Hulk” the year’s Best Comic (major label). Here’s an excerpt:
Pak’s brilliant return to big-action, old-style comics has just been an amazing ride with great characters, a fun story and plenty of “Bang, Smash and Boom.â€

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.
