World War Hulk

Well, not to give away too many spoilers, but
About the artwork, Di Vito and Kirk are not everyone's cup of tea, but I like them and they have gotten a lot of favorable response from diehard Marvel fans, at least in the forums anyway. Oh, and for anyone who hasn't kept up, the Hulk has become considerably more intelligent of late. He is no longer the rampaging Hulk, or the merged Hulk, but Pak seems to be suggesting that the Hulk has finally buried Banner, who was actually the mask of the real personality inside, the current Hulk.
Iron Man, Professor X, Namor, Black Bolt, and Mr. Fantastic formed a group called the Illuminati before the Civil War, which would police super heroes in a way that the government couldn't. One of the decisions they made, after Hulk destroyed Las Vegas, was that it would be best to send Hulk into space. The plan was to send him to an uninhabited planet where he could be at peace, but the Hulk went crazy and damaged the ship, causing it to land on the wrong planet. The Hulk has a variety of adventures, finds some measure of happiness, but the ship self destructs as a result of his throwing it around and it kills everyone and everything he has come to love on his new home. So now the Hulk is back for revenge.

The Raging Demon
Its a good start but it better pick up soon because every WWH title in June has led up to really nothing, just Hulk landing in New York and beating the shit out of Black Bolt and Iron Man. July better have more development in the story or I'm gonna be pissed.

just wait a bit I'm Greg Pak won't disappoint me. he didn't with planet hulk... it's still not as good as what Bruce Jones did to the series before him but still. at first with planet hulk i was kinda meh but after 2-3 issues it got better. have Faith haha
In regard to the art, I'm not sure where you got that from with Hein as he isn't doing the future ones anyway, but http://www.marvel.com/news/comicstories.1245 lists Kirk as doing pencils on the Incredible Hulk, and Di Vito does the World War Hulk: X-Men series. I should have mentioned that Romita Jr. does the main World War Hulk line, but I'm not as big a fan of his work as Di Vito and Kirk, which is why I mentioned them.
