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.

Interesting, Although Unnecessary and Lacking Entertainment,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Incredible Hulk: Prelude to Planet Hulk (Paperback)
As a prelude, it's interesting to see how Nick Fury and the Illuminati "tricked" Hulk into space, but it's unnecessary--everything you need to know about the storyline is summed up in the first few pages of the Incredible Hulk: Planet Hulk collection. The The Road to Civil War trade paperback, reprinting the first Illuminati one-shot, actually shows the five "heroes" coming to their decision to shoot the Hulk into space--so I would recommend that book over Daniel Way's stoic execution here.

Not Essential for planet hulk,

This review is from: Incredible Hulk: Prelude to Planet Hulk (Paperback)
I had recently read the planet hulk hardcover and had read the original Illuminate oneshot that showed the decision on what to do with the Hulk. So i was looking foward to finally picking this up.Basically it sets the stage for how the hulk ended up in space. But it is pretty lackluster. Do yourselves a favor and read the oneshot, or the Road to Civil War trade instead, that includes the illuminati oneshot that shows the decision. Also half this book is made up of Hulk Handbook 2004, which is useless. it is just profiles on hulk characters that is a waste of space and paper. It is just fluff to add more bulk to this already slim book.

Sets the stage for a huge epic,
By
This review is from: Incredible Hulk: Prelude to Planet Hulk (Paperback)
These four issues (all written by Daniel Way, the first two pencilled and inked by Keu Cha, the last two pencilled and inked by Juan Santacruz) show Bruce Banner once again being dragged into a situation that only the Hulk can handle. The final result sets the stage for the Planet Hulk 14 issue epic.The story itself is fairly good, though it really doesn't stand on its own. The main purpose is to take the Hulk we know and move him off planet. This feeds into Planet Hulk, as well as the imminent World War Hulk. In short, the creative team gets the job done, but the job is to set the stage for other stories rather than to tell a complete story in itself. If you plan to stick around for Planet Hulk, World War Hulk, and the third story that follows it (announced but not publicly named at the time of this writing) then this is a worthy piece to pick up. If you're looking for just one good Hulk story, this isn't it.
