Okay, I know I might get some heat from this, but I was totally for the Hulk the whole way. I hate when people tell you whats good for you and what needs to be done a crap like that. Iron Man, Mr. Fantastic, Dr. Strange, and Blackbolt all get what they derserved.
That being said, I agree with the others when they say its nothing but a summer action movie. It is, but it also has a decent story. It basically asked the question of how far should one to achieve their revenge. Pretty good question if ya ask me. And the ending kinda haunted me. It was an ending that had to happen, but still was pretty messed up. Anyway, I liked it. Personally, seeing the high and mighty Richards and Stark getting the crap beaten out of them satified me. Especially since Im Anti-Registration. Or was... Whatever!!!
Anyway, if you read Planet Hulk(which was one of the best comics Ive ever read personally) you should read this. If you like to see some of the Smartest and Strongest characters in the Marvel Universe fight the awesome Green Giant, you should definiatly pick this up

Really loved it. Its up to the standards left in Planet Hulk!!! Do not read it before Planet Hulk. It's a really good story with great characters. A really good classic.

world war hulk was a good read, interesting for a while and then it kinda took a downturn at the end. however, the x-men tie in is certainly excelent quality writing and art. i consider world war hulk to be exceptional for that reason only, the x-men tie in is phenomonal,but wwh on it's own is like a ballon letting the air out, the begining is really noisy and grabs ya good but the ending kinda trails off into a flat ending.

What defines this series is a quote from Dr. Strange "he's never been angrier, so he's never been stronger."
Hulk has always been a strange character to define his level of power and standing the Marvel Universe because by cannon his level of power is directly relative to his level of anger and/or emotional turmoil. In this series he's more powerful than he has ever been and it's likely ever will be this powerful again. So it's a great excuse to have one guy beat the hell out of all of the major players in the marvel universe.
With that said I did enjoy the base storyline because it has elements simplicity as well as the shades of grey that make good guy vs good guy interesting.

Sometimes writers get lazy and think that just because they want a certain outcome, the reader is not supposed to notice that it doesn't make any sense.
This book is FILLED with examples of nonsense writing. Take, for example, the first "fight" (never shown) of the Hulk beating Black Bolt. Right! Here's a guy who blows holes through walls with a whisper and can destroy a city with a word. He can turn the Hulk's brain to jelly any time he wants. Of course, NOW we know that this Black Bolt was probably a Skrull and that's why he didn't have BB's sonic powers. But a little THOUGHT on the writer's part could have overcome the discrepancy. For example: sound doesn't travel in a vacuum, so Black Bolt can't blow a hole in the Hulk's spaceship. The Hulk tells BB, "Surrender yourself and let me beat the snot out of you or we'll bomb your people from space and they'll all die."
Would that this was the only example.
- The Hulk breaks Dr. Strange's hands. Why would the Sorcerer Supreme allow an angry monster to get that close to him without some kind of protection?
- Iron Man is head of the Avengers and SHIELD and has close ties to the US government. A guy that smart would be like a general, using his troops to protect his homeland.
- The Fantastic Four would fight literally to the death to prevent Reed Richard's being captured by the Hulk. And if he was captured, Susan Storm would just look at the guy who captured her husband and say, "You're dead meat," right before she pops a force field in Hulk's brain AND his heart.
As I said, a little thought could deal with these discrepancies. But the problem was: the Writer was too busy trying to Make A Point, namely that Hulk isn't the real monster, everyone else is. (Sorry, bub, but your rage, though sometimes justifiable, has put countless innocents at risk for years. That makes YOU the monster, not the ones trying to protect citizens.)
