- The best Hulk story I ever read
I've never liked the Hulk. I grew up with the mediocre TV show and dumb Hulk comics where the character came off as a lovable and destructive imbecile.
But this is a totally different Hulk. And a totally different Hulk story. Greg Pak took Hulk out of his element and sent him off planet. It's a totally different Hulk trapped in a world rich with violence, danger and a fascinating supporting cast.
The writing is smart with well-developed, exciting characters (including the Hulk) and beautiful art and color. This book is a great example of how good comics can be and the hardcover is full of extras including background on the planet and characters.

- Hell Yeah!
This story was freakin great! This is the single best story for the Hulk I've ever read. The artwork was amazing as well. This story reignited my fervor for Hulk appreciation. Greg Pak took me back to the days of Peter David's era on hulk with amazing character development and depth. The idea of the Hulk being a gladiatorial barbarian just seems very natural and is extremely pleasant to see unfold. This is my favorite comic story ever, so I highly recommend this anyone who is a fan of the Hulk or just wants an interesting story to dive into.

...moreso than I expected, but came promptly. Speedy delivery and great price. I approve of this seller very much.

- Good smashing fun
I'm not the biggest Hulk fan in the world, but this was an excellent story. Marvel's done the "send a strongman to another planet" thing before (with The Thing, in his own comic) but this is much better. The art is great, and the story, though derivative of many things (A Princess of Mars, Gladiator), has enough interesting twists to keep it interesting. Some of the pages seem choppy (was anything cut out from the original comics?) but that may be due to a limitation on pages and issues that the storyline could cover. And the world was created with a depth that you rarely see in comics--Sakaar has a detailed geography, cultures, mythos, and inhabitants. Everything works together wonderfully.

My only real complaint is that each fight or battle usually lasts all of one panel. It used to be that Hulk slugfests with, say, Rhino or the Abomination, would go on for pages as each behemoth pummeled the other in an epic brawl. Now it's one big action shot and on to the next adventure. I don't want a comic to be nothing but violence, but it's hard to think that any fight has any real importance if it ends in one page.

Still, overall, an awesome comics adventure.

- A Great Representation of the Trade Paperback Format
For long-time comics readers, this is a great example of how the genre has evolved. Character and plot development are rich, dialogue and art are incomparably improved, and the creative teams manage to stay true to the original premise of the series. I don't read the Hulk regularly, but picked this and couldn't put it down. This is why people want TPBs to get more respect - they deserve it. Congratulations to Marvel and DC for continuing to raise the bar.
