IGN.com calls “Incredible Hulk” #96 a “Must Read”
An excerpt:
Now on its second arc, Planet Hulk is still firing on all cylinders. … Pak’s doing a great job fleshing out the new supporting characters, making them every bit as interesting as the Hulk himself, if not more so. Things haven’t been this good since Peter David’s classic run.

Green Days digs “Incredible Hulk” #96
Green Days has posted its review of “Incredible Hulk” #96, written by Greg Pak with pencils by Aaron Lopresti. Here’s an excerpt:
I’m not going to get into the particulars of Miek’s story, because Pak handles it so well I feel like relating even the basic, non-spoiler facts could take away from a reader’s enjoyment. Suffice to say, Miek’s past leads to a conflict, and Pak fools you into thinking he’s going to give it your average “shiny happy people” Hollywood ending. Then he pulls the rug out from under you and shows why this chapter of “Planet Hulk” is called “Anarchy.”

Newsarma loves “Incredible Hulk” #96
Newsarama has run a rave advance review of “Incredible Hulk” #96, written by Greg Pak with pencils by Aaron Lopresti, which goes on sale tomorrow in the United States. An excerpt:
Greg Pak continues his winning streak on Planet Hulk. This story does not let up and does not disappoint. By the end of the story the reader is left in a state of awe and begging for more.
…
Lopresti’s artwork is on par with Carlo Pagulayan and because of that makes the artist transition smooth. I especially appreciate the Lopresti seems to go out of his way to maintain the consistency of the characters by modifying his style slightly to keep it inline with the previous issues.
Planet Hulk is quickly becoming the perfect example of a mega-storyline done right.
