2.0 out of 5 stars Nothing of great importance in this WWH tie-in, May 24, 2008

This review is from: World War Hulk: Gamma Corps (Incredible Hulk) (Paperback)

With a revenge-driven Hulk pounding the superheroes, what's a guy to do? Unleash the Gamma Corps: a team of five superpowered individuals whose powers are drawn from the Hulk's own gamma-radiated DNA. Sadly, that is the sole interesting aspect of Gamma Corps, as this crew is unleashed to take on the Hulk as he ravanges New York City. The book as a whole doesn't really amount to much in general, and actually ends up being kind of boring to boot. Not to mention that the TPB as a whole bears little importance to the overall World War Hulk storyline, and you more than likely can figure out who ends up on top here. Written by Frank Tieri, Gamma Corps had potential, but goes nowhere, and ends up being one World War Hulk tie-in that isn't really worth picking up. Carlos Ferreira offers up some decent artwork though, so Gamma Corps isn't a total loss, but is still only really worth checking out for the World War Hulk completest.

3.0 out of 5 stars Wasn't Bad, May 15, 2011

This review is from: World War Hulk: Gamma Corps (Incredible Hulk) (Paperback)

This is the only part of the whole "World War Hulk" saga that wasn't really awesome in my book.

The villains in this book are just people who had problems that they blamed on the Hulk, even though they couldn't even really confirm what had happened was his fault. The fight scenes were cool, and the art was good as well.

If you wanna have ALL the WWH books or if you're a HUGE Hulk fan, pick it up. But if you're looking for essential elements of the WWH storyline, this is one you can safely pass over.

I thought it was a decent story line. I didn't think they needed to tie this in with the WWH series, (but thats just my opinion). This was interesting enough to stand by itself. Actually it was a little akward the they did tie this in. But non the less a good light read. If you like stories of revenge, and just a Hulk fan in general go for it. I would've given it 4 stars but the WWH tie in was silly. If you catch a good sale go for it! I didn't expect much when i bought it and still found it interesting.
