Planet Hulk

One of the best comic storylines to be published in the last few years was Gregory Pak’s Planet Hulk. Hulk is sent to a distant planet by the Illuminati, a group of superheroes including Iron Man and Dr. Strange and Mr. Fantastic, to keep the Hulk from destroying Earth. When Hulk’s ship lands and a distant planet, he is captured and sent into the gladiatorial games not unlike those during the Roman Empire to be executed. The story plays out like the Russel Crowe movie Gladiator except Hulk lives to take over the empire. This story of a hero born of rage finally finding peace and happiness set up one of the greatest fights in recent memory, World War Hulk. When that peace and happiness is taken away, Hulk blames the Illuminati and comes back to earth to exact his revenge. Pak and his team of artists told a beautiful tale. Now Planet Hulk is being released by Marvel Animated. It looks great.
