Ok so this post was supposed to be up by Tuesday. Which Tuesday? I don't know actually. Anyways, just read on :D
Oh wells it's Tuesday, and as we all know, there really isn't anything much which happens on Tuesday. I mean, there's always something happening on every other day of the week, but Tuesday is just like 'Ugh. Tuesday.'
Not making sense? Good. Moving on.
I finished reading World War Hulk today. The pacing of the story is kinda weird. It starts alright, gets slower and slower as it progresses, and as soon as the story starts to get interesting again, it ends way too abruptly.
So the Hulk overthrows the King of the alien planet which he is stranded on, and he becomes the new ruler. Under his rule, the various warring factions are able to call upon a truce, and slowly but surely, they begin to unite once more.
The Hulk even gets married to the king's former protector, and she gets pregnant with their child. Everything seems to be going well until one day, the space capsule which the Hulk entered the planet in explodes, killing almost everyone except the Hulk and 5 of his friends.
Upon discovering that there had been a nuke in the capsule, the Hulk recalls his hatred for the human race. He was finally at peace, residing in a world which respected him, and he had a family, but all those were now gone.
Needless to say, he was pissed.
So together with his 5 warbound, he launches a brutal onslaught upon Earth. The Hulk, now angrier than ever before, was also stronger than ever before. And close to no one on Earth could stop him.
Heroes who once had a chance of defeating the Hulk, like the Thing, Hercules and the Juggernaut, now didn't even manage to bring him to his knees. Without much difficulty, the Hulk captures Black Blot, Iron Man, Mr. Fantastic and Doctor Strange.
He dumps the four of them into a makeshift arena, and with the help of obedience disks, which were embedded into their skin, the Hulk forces them to fight each other to the death. Just when everything was looking grim, help arrived.
The only one on the Earth who could fight and defeat this raging incarnation of the Hulk. The most powerful super being on Earth. The Golden Guardian of Good. The hero whom contained the power of a million exploding suns within him.
The Sentry appeared and with a single punch, he sent the Hulk flying. At first, this gave hope to humanity, but it quickly died off when everyone realised that the Sentry wasn't himself.
In order to fight the Hulk, the Sentry had to tap into a large portion of his power, and this had awoken the other half of him, the evil entity known as the Void. Soon, a vortex of burning energy was surrounding the Void, and nothing could stop him.
Nothing but the Hulk.
Even with the intensity of the energy tearing his flesh and skin from his bones, the Hulk continued to fight the Void. After several minutes of fierce combat, and with most of New York City destroyed, the fight ends with the Hulk and the Void punching each other in the face.
The impact of their blows cause the surrounding area to shatter, and several nearby buildings collapse. However, the vortex of energy soon dissipates, and both the Hulk and the Void revert back to their weak human forms.
While Bruce Banner remains standing, Ryan Renolds falls to the ground, unconscious. Hulk's warbound had rushed over to aid him, but they found Banner instead. Seeing Hulk in his human form for the first time, one of the warbound attempts to turn him back into the Hulk.
To anger banner, the warbound tells him that he had known of the bomb's existence in the space capsule, and it wasn't the humans who had put it in, but member's of the old king's guard.
Instead of destroying the bomb, the warbound choose to leave it as he thought that it would remind Hulk about how humans had treated him, and it would cause him to go to war with them.
Realising that he was being used by others for destruction no matter where he was, and feeling betrayed by his warbound, Banner is consumed by rage and transforms into the Hulk once again.
However, his anger cannot be contained this time, and it radiates out of his body in the form of Gamma Rays, threatening to shatter the surface of the Earth. The Hulk asks Iron Man to stop him before he destroys the planet, and Iron Man quickly fires a satellite laser onto the Hulk, seemingly reducing him to vapour.
Several weeks pass and rebuilding has begun in New York City. The heroes have recovered and are helping with the repairs. Life seems to be getting back to normal on Earth, but there is a sudden disturbance on the planet which the Hulk had once been exiled to.
Out of the ashes, a new form emerges. Resembling the Hulk, but a little leaner, and with longer hair, this new character is revealed to be the son of the Hulk, Skaar.
Ok yes so that is about all I have to tell you for today. It's Tuesday damn it.
