this is it!

World War Hulk #1
Greg Pak/John Romita Jr./Klaus Janson
Marvel


not even Captain America can talk down that one.


in the Hulk's mind, these puny humans are laughing at him. i mean, even Iron Man's armor is malleable enough to show an evil grin.




and to help Joe Q. Public (and the readers) understand, Hulk also runs his own propaganda tape. kinda like a terrorist.


a terrorist, of course, has to have demands. and if you're the kind of terrorist who can beat up a guy whose whisper can level mountain ranges, your demands merit a lot of attention.


ever since the inception of comics, most of the events (and where the superheroes are) are based in NYC. so, with the Hulk threatening to level Manhattan in 24 hours, speedy mass evacuations need to happen. imagine the sighs of relief in Des Moines or Boise.

and despite the catastrophic threat, New Jersey is still not a preferred destination.


caught unaware, Tony Stark issues his last will and testament and his teary-eyed farewell letter to the public, and goes to eat his broccoli.

i guess these guys will never work at the lab again


and we all know where that's going.


two down, two to go. i can't wait.

did you guys see the checklist? its not as extensive as Civil War was, but 37 issues/tie-ins? not a problem for richie-rich fanboys who still live under their mommy's skirt.

Does that armor thing on Hulk's left arm actually do something? Or did JRjr just add that because it looks cool?

both. he used to be a gladiator, you see, when he got 'dumped' into that planet by his so-called superhero friends. i should just send you the Planet Hulk series. plus new YTLMs.
