This one was not one I expected to enjoy.I don't like stories that are just fights. I don't like filler-y tie-ins to events, I didn't like World War Hulk. But I like the X-Men, so the spark of curiosity was there, and I gave this one a shot.I almost feel like we need an announcer to sum this one up. "Hulk in one corner... every single available X-Man in the other. Bring it!"Surprisingly, this managed to surprise me a few times. You'd think with so many X-Men joining in the fight, this would feel...
This was a really fun throwback type story to the days of 90's xmen. Not much plot, just action and some very cool moments. Christo's Gage does a great job of keeping this light and entertaining. Hulk arrives to the mansion to look for Xavier. Since he was part of the Marvel Illuminati, but not present at the time of the vote to send Hulk to outer space, Hulk wants to know - how would he have voted? Xavier gives him an honest answer, and turns himself over to the Hulk. The X-men, as you can imag...
The essence of World War Hulk is pretty much contained in the pages of its eponymous book and the Incredible Hulk-series it spun out of. Marvel, of course, felt that wasn't enough, and tacked on a number of tie-ins, most of which only serve to make the event and its timeline more confusing. Civil War, by design, touched every corner of the Marvel Universe. Its add-ons allowed to explore the impact on even the most obscure of heroes, and elevate the main idea in the process. World War Hulk, on th...
3.5, very nearly a 4. I’ve been surprised by how much I like this WWH event.
Favorite Artist: Andrea DevitoPARENTS GUIDEAge Level: 13+Violence:Wolverine rips up the Hulk with his claws in one battle. the Hulk bleeds green tho not red.In the same battle, the Hulk beat up Wolverine crushing his face and making his head bleed.a demon rips a pilot's face off leaving just the skull. blood splatters against the window.Sex/Nudity: Some of the x-men women have low cut costumes.A man mentions a woman who's is on her perioda superheroine in a leotard is seen laying face down. her
To be honest, the first fight between Hulk and Iron Man in the much hyped "World War Hulk" is a total disappointment. It was so awful and bad, it almost turned me off from continuing with the series. Carrying on with this X-Men cross-over, I had very little expectations. Surprisingly, the tussle with the mutants was actually the only redeeming factor in this whole debacle of a mega-event. Christos Gage injects his plotting and pacing with a sense of urgency and purpose sorely lacking from Greg P...
From a certain point of view, I would have liked to have given this trade paperback 3.5 stars or more, but here is the problem: there was not enough story on the X-Men and there were too many inconstancies. For starters, only the first half, if not less, is about the X-Men. After that, I’m back to reading about Iron Man, SHIELD, and some other minor superheroes that nobody cares about (freekin’ Praying Mantis Man? What the heck, Marvels!?). The Ghost Rider story was pretty good, but what the hec...
Thoroughly entertaining. Love this unstoppable iteration of the hulk!
A lot happened in the 24 hours Hulk had the world waiting for his return to Manhattan. I enjoyed seeing how different heroes & villains responded to the return of the World Breaker.The Ant-Man side story was funny, but not enough to make me want to read the other issues that arc off. Same goes for the X-Men issues. However, I do want to know more about Marvel's version of The Suicide Squad.SPOILER ALERTI wonder what would've happened if the nanite bullet wasn't a fake/dud? Would it have worked?
This book contains several stories that take place during the World War Hulk series. There is the titular miniseries that has the Hulk face off against the X-Men to discover if Xavier was involved in his exile. There is a story where he faces off against Ghost Rider that examines guilt. Then there are stories featuring Ant-Man and the Young Avengers.
Amazing! So usually a tie in series, is usually a warning light for this a bad book, don't read it, this however is an exception to the rule! This story takes place during World War Hulk, Hulk comes to the X mansion, and he's angry, he wants Professor X, who was one of the 5 geniuses who decided to send Hulk off world(Bad idea). What I like about this series, is that its a fight for survival, the various different teams of X-men come to protect, the Proffessor, which makes for some great fight s...
Hulk smash make sense here.Chuck surrenders, but X bitches won't let him. Yawn boring with Beast and forgettable X kiddies until the a-team show up. Classic Wolvie Hulk throw down, including subdural hematoma suffering.Piotr gets his arms bent like tinfoil, and Juggernaut is a bitch until,he gets his suit back from some evil spirit.Then a super whined tells hulk the muties have it worse than him, and he says fine, live with what you did X. Also the prof shows everyone what happens to Hulk on Sak...
Ya know, a person wants to be loyal and up to date but the same story (from different perspectives) is getting monotonous.
Gather around shallow comic book readers. This one’s for you.It seems that the Hulk is angry (this is an understatement) at the Illuminati, Marvel’s genius trouble-making think tank for some alleged slight they had done him. It wasn’t a slight; they basically tricked him and shot his gamma-irradiated butt into deep space, hopefully never to be seen again. Heh. Sure. While on Planet Hulk, he starred in a Celebrity Death Match, overthrew a planet, became HulkKing, had a kid and lost his queen in a...
Better than 3 stars, but not a 4 star. The X-Men stories were pretty good, and the ending made it. New Excalibur shows up for a few panels sending Juggernaut to help Prof X. The Ant Man story was nothing special. The surprise was the Avengers: The Initiative issues. These were very well done and really grabbed me. It ties in mutants, Avengers, students, and villains. The Iron Man issues were really just revealing a plan and building up to future issues. Most of the rest of the book is just fight...
It’s fine but not as good as the hype made it sound.
Since there's not much of a story to WWH, just a lot of fighting. And here its the same, but this collection is just better than the main WWH series.Good thing I was keeping up with all X-Men titles, And where each team was. (Uncanny X-Men coming from space after the whole Rise and Fall of the Shiar. The Excalibur team just having their title canceled so.. Not really doing anything. New X-Men living in the School and X-Factor doing their own thing.) Just adds to the brawl that The Hulk brings to...
Continuing the great x-read of 2017/18...As part of an x-continuity read, this volume is unnecessary in every way shape and form. Particularly considering that over 50% of the trade has nothing at all to do with the X-Men, instead being filled up with Ghost Rider, Antman, and Avengers Initiative. Why is this titled X-Men again?Oh, and the X-Men issues are a poorly plotted fistfight with the hulk that lasts three issues and accomplishes absolutely nothing.
One of those offshoots in the crossover series Planet Hulk which we could have happily done without. Fanbitches apart,who would love to see a Hulk vs (fill in the name of anybody), no one cares about the Hulk Vs Wolverine part. One wonders why Hulk has to act like a total idiot and show up on Xavier's ground when he had nothing to do with the Illuminati's decision to exile him. Like a bad hollywood movie, this story banks on its stars, franchise and the house name( X Men Vs Hulk) and kills its f...
Finished this last weekend and it is a serviceable tie-in to the World War Hulk crossover/ event. It has some of the same problems that WWH itself has, in that the plot is a fan-boy-playing-with-action-figures fantasy. In the green corner, Hulk. In the red corner, (insert favorite Omega level hero/ villain/ mutant/ Inhuman/ powered being). Fight!The X-Men story was OK, and actually had some baggage to clear between Xavier and his remaining mutants, which it did well - particularly the last panel...
