Product Description:
Bruce Banner has finally found a semblance of peace. Here, in the isolated interior of Alaska, he hopes to protect the rest of humanity from the Hulk's never-ending rampage by secluding himself in self-imposed exile. Banner is confident that his plan will work - after all, who would be foolish enough to actually come looking for the Hulk? But when Nick Fury comes calling, you know there's trouble for someone involved. This story sets up next year's Planet Hulk event. Collects Incredible Hulk #88-91; Hulk Handbook 2004.

Average Rating:

Rating: - How it all started
Many reviews have stated that this book is not necessary due to it being summarized in the beginning of Planet Hulk and some of the information in the Illuminati's other appearance. However, if you weren't following the Illuminati's activities or the Civil War material that included them, then it fills in that gap without having to jump to a non-Hulk title. Also, for those complete-ists out there that want the entire story from beginning to end, the only other way to get this story is in the individual ... Read More

Rating: - A Hulk a fanboy would like
Story is over the top but entertaining at the same time. As with most comic book stories this one involves an "end of the world" theme, where the only one that can save the planet is the Hulk. The only piece of this that relates to Planet Hulk is the last couple pages where he's double crossed.

Overall an entertaining piece of work with average artwork.

Rating: - Planet Hulk - :-) :-) :-) :-)
This book was one of the best "Hulk" stories I've read in years. Beyond great art and great dialogue, it shows a real range of thought and emotion from the hulk, much more than what's normally covered in the average comic, cartoon series, t.v. show or even feature film. It begs the question, have Hulk and Banner begun to reconcile their odd relationship?
I can't wait for World War Hulk!

Rating: - short
the handbook was pointless

the story was short and bland.

i'd suggest skipping this and reading the much better planet hulk.

if you're going to buy this buy it used and pay what you really should.

Rating: - Worth the used price, not cover price.
There are many reviews that suggest the story in this book is taken care of adequeately enough in the first page of the Planet Hulk book. I didn't listen and bought this one anyway. Those reviews were true, this book is unnecessary if you plan on buying planet hulk, unless you want the information provided at the very end which has nothing to do with the story, it just explains much about many characters involved with the entire Hulk legacy. There is very very little if anything at all about the decision ... Read More
