The money quote:
It’s an important part of the overall tapestry, but reads well if you’re just arriving. [writer Greg] Pak continues to do a great job, and I’m very happy with the involvement of [penciler Gary] Frank. I know that we have a lot of epic to go, but if it all maintains the consistency and readability of these early chapters, we’ll be looking at one of the all-time definitive Hulk stories.
Comixtreme.com gives “Incredible Hulk” #106, written by Greg Pak with pencils by Gary Frank, a four star rating. Here’s an excerpt:
This is a dandy little prologue that should have readers really excited to see the war that’s coming.
An excerpt:
… the Mastermind Excello story he did with the incredibly talented Takeshi Miyazawa Amazing Fantasy #15 (reprinted for your convenience in this week’s World War Hulk Prologue) was the first thing of [writer Greg] Pak’s that I read and absolutely loved, so the idea that Amadeus Cho was going to be a huge part of the Hulk’s return to Earth and subsequent six-month non-stop beat-down already had me excited. Imagine my surprise, then, when the execution of the first part was even better than I’d imagined.
