Planet Hulk: Warzones!
It's Battleworld's most incredible warzone -- a land of monstrous, roaming Hulks! Few ordinary humans could survive Greenland for long. But Steve Rogers is no mere mortal -- he's an indomitable gladiator, especially when sitting astride his trusty steed, Devil Dinosaur! With the mysterious Doc Green his only ally, can this shield-wielding hero ride into the Mud Kingdom and rescue Bucky before the Red King sentences him to death? They'll face wild Hulks in the jungle, giant Hulks in lakes of fire, bull Hulks and plant Hulks and plenty more besides! It's a Gamma Mamma-Jamma that may break the spirit of even the world's greatest freedom fighter. But how did this Hulk-infested realm come to exist in the first place? Collecting PLANET HULK #1-5.

In the gamma-infected, Hulk-infested part of Battleworld known as (what else?) Greenland, the Red King is causing trouble for Emperor Doom. A gladiator version of Captain America and his Warbound, Devil Dinosaur (a red T-Rex), are dispatched to meet up with a rogue Hulk, Doc Green, to assassinate the Red King and free his hostage and Cap’s bestie, Bucky Barnes, the Winter Soldier.
I was a little wary of this one because it’s written by Sam Humphries and it’s a Secret Wars tie-in but actually Planet Hulk wasn’t bad. Besides Cap being a gladiator, one of the few connections to the original Planet Hulk is Greg Pak who returns to write a short prequel where it’s revealed how so many Hulks came to be. It’s not very good and, given how pointless these tie-ins are, wholly unnecessary. There’s a section of Battleworld full of Hulks - that’s fine, I totally accept that on this bizarre patchwork pseudo-planet, no need to explain it any further!
In fact it feels less like Planet Hulk and more like Planet Kirby. Captain America, Devil Dinosaur and Hulk - these are all Jack Kirby creations. I’m not sure why he thought to throw him into the mix but including Devil Dinosaur was an inspired choice by Humphries - Devil definitely adds to Cap’s very one-dimensional character (about the only thing he has to say is “I gotta save Bucky” ad nauseam!).
Everything in Greenland is hulked-out from the animals to the plants so Cap, Devil and the Doc’s journey across it to the Mud Kingdom had some eventful moments - a little bit Manifest Destiny even, if you read that Image series. It’s a straightforward plot with few surprises - buuh, do ya think Cap will make it to the Red King? - and you know something’s up with the Doc’s true/de-Hulked identity. It’s not exactly a fascinating or deep read but it’s also not boring.
Marc Laming’s art made the book for me. Seeing our trio of heroes walking across this ruined fantasy landscape (and it does have a Warcraft-y feel to it with the Hulks looking orc-like) was really cool and Laming shows Devil in his element, fighting everything from monster plants to groups of Hulks - good stuff! It’s not breath-taking art but it’s good quality.
Planet Hulk is perfectly ok for what it is: a disposable, done-in-one story for an overblown event. It may not be among the best but it’s certainly not among the worst Secret Wars tie-ins either. Go in with low expectations and be pleasantly surprised!

Mostly a 2.5 star book. It just felt like there wasn't enough happening to support all five issues, so I kept getting bored between the actually interesting scenes. But I'm bumping it up to three stars because the ending was truly unexpected and gave the whole a heck of a lot more meaning than it had been building up to. Also, where else can you see Steve Rogers ride his pet dinosaur? That's a serious question, if there are any other comics that give Steve a pet dinosaur, I want to read them very badly.

Yet another pointless Secret Wars tie-in. Stupid story, reasonably decent artwork but... Devil Dinosaur tearing shit up earns this one a three star rating.
What can I say? I loves me some dinosaurs...

Super-simple take with a little nuance and a whiff of homoerotic fanfic (not enough of that going around Marvel these days, amirite?).
Never having read the original Planet Hulk event, I don't know what they tried to pluck from there and weave in for maximum nostalgia. I felt no nostalgia pangs. Not even a hunger pang.
Steve Rogers quests to find his "Warbound" Bucky Barnes, with trusty steed Devil Dinosaur betwixt his legs/at his side. Many roaring adventures were had, especially once they're dropped into Hulk territory like the elite team from Predator.
War philosophizing, confrontation and loss results. Sorry Steve, you're not quite the same with an axe and a shield, though I'll concede that at least the dialogue didn't have me scratching out my eyeballs like Gage's Spider-Island tie-in Spider-Island: Warzones.

Loved the art. How quickly can we get Captain America riding Devil Dinosaur in the movies?

Very disappointing. :(

This has its moments - I mean there's a hunky Conan the Barbarian-esque version of Steve Rogers prowling a Hulk-infested landscape with his pet Tyrannosaurus (sorry, his "warbound") named Devil. He smashes Hulks, they smash him back. Lots of smashing on Planet Hulk as one might expect.
But it was weird, man. Cap is trying to find and rescue his buddy Bucky. But the tone is super weird. He is obsessed with rescuing Bucky. There are flashbacks. The intensity with which he is trying to find and be with his old chum is waaaay beyond two childhood besties. This verges on Achilles-Patroclus territory. There is a real Tony Curtis in Spartacus vibe here. It's super gay is what I'm saying. But aside from the passionate intensity Cap has to find his pal, this is all very sublimated. All we get is a kind of gleam in Bucky's eye in flashbacks. They were obviously lovers, but this is never made explicit. I dunno, maybe Marvel thought that would bring a little more heat to old Planet Hulk than they wanted. But it's there. And you don't have to look very hard to see it. Whatever dude. If you're gonna make Cap and Bucky lovers I say go for it. Don't wimp out and take us right to the edge. Just do it. In this way, Planet Hulk's punch is weak. Puny humans.

February 23, 2016A gladiator Steve Rogers, who's strongly implied to have been Bucky's lover, riding Devil Dinosaur through a land where even the flora and fauna have been gamma-corrupted - this should be a lot more fun than it is, even if Humphries does eventually deploy his familiar fascination with utterly fucked-up psychology and no-win situations. However, it did cause the chap next to me on the Tube - a recent arrival in Britain, to judge from his accent - to ask where he could find magazines like that, so I was able to advise him how to find comics in libraries, and suggest Comixology as a possible alternative. So it's done at least that much to make the world a better place.

It's not a re-visit to Planet Hulk. It's a new concept that's more like Planet of the Apes. But instead of Apes it's Hulks. And Charlton Heston is Steve Rogers who is a super-soldier with Devil Dinosaur as a companion. (Capt. and Devil is an idea worthy of a book but it should not have been this one).
This is nothing like the Planet Hulk books. So I felt a bit conned. And it has a pretty awful ending.

This was pretty bad. Corny dialogue, and all around stupid book. Absolutely pointless tie in and not worth the read.

Beautiful and heartbreaking. I knew the ending going into it and I still cried.

Unlike most of the Warzones tales, this one is good. Even though it's called Planet Hulk, the main character is Captain America. He's fighting in the arena for Doom's amusement along with his new sidekick. Doom sends him to Greenland to take out their ruler the Red Hulk. It's a well-written self-contained story with good retro art from Marc Laming.

Captain America rides a dinosaur for the win!
As the back cover says...Hulks and Dinosaurs. What More Do You Want?
There are some scenes from outside Greenland that I wonder if are backstory...so that was a little confusing.
I've never read Planet Hulk and now I want to.

Public library copy.
I've noted on other Marvel titles I've read how I didn't care for the event. Most of the stories I've read spinning out of Secret Wars and specifically Warzones haven't been great, but this book was better in comparison to the other Marvel titles.

Ok, this was not my cup of tea, but I respect the craft involved, especially some fine slammin' superhero comics art, crisply pencilled and inked. Artis Mark Laming is a name to watch.
Plus, there is Devil Dinosaur all the way through.

Reprints Planet Hulk #1-5 (July 2015-November 2015). The Captain has a new mission. He and his dinosaur Devil have been sent to Greenland by Emperor Doom to unseat the rogue Red King. The Captain finds himself teamed with a Hulk calling himself Doc Hulk who is helping fight his way through the dangerous land to rescue his friend Bucky. All is not as it seems in Greenland, and the Captain is about to learn the horrifying truth.
Written by Sam Humphries, Warzones!: Planet Hulk is part of Marvel Comics’ Secret Wars tie-ins. The collection features art by Marc Laming and a short “origin” story written by Greg Pak and illustrated by Takeshi Miyazawa.
Secret Wars was massive. The series spawned tons of short mini-series with comics ranging from good to bad. With so many tie-ins, it is hard to read them all…but I did find Warzones!: Planet Hulk to be one of the better entries. A ******Spoiler Alert****** is in effect for the rest of the review.
The first aspect that made the story work slightly better is that it is five issues. Many of the stories were four issues and felt rather abrupt and quick. While Planet Hulk still feels somewhat truncated, it doesn’t feel as bad as some of the limited series. You get a decent feeling for why the Captain is headed to Greenland, what Greenland is like (somewhat), and it has a pretty strong resolution that wasn’t entirely predictable…which is about all you can ask from one of the Secret Wars series. I will say that it always feels like there are areas for expansion and that the comic in plot and character development, but there is enough to be enjoyable.
The basic set-up of Secret Wars is hard to follow with Battleworld being composed of different planets and parts. This really comes into play in this story in that the Captain and Doc Hulk are both Steve Rogers. If you aren’t clear on how Battleworld works, this would be a rather confusing and disappointing reveal. It also seems like in other Secret Wars titles that the characters don’t interact with their alternate version much…so this is more confusing in that you question if they realize there are other versions of themselves.
I liked Pak’s original Planet Hulk storyline and a return to Planet Hulk is worth checking out. With all of the Secret Wars stories, you can always do more and write more about the worlds that were created, and it is kind of a shame that the rich worlds weren’t able to be explored thoroughly due to the end of Secret Wars. I could see a “Return to Secret Wars” someday, but I don’t know if the series as popular enough to carry it…I’d love to see Battleworld again and wouldn’t mind seeing Greenland.

Rereading Secret Wars and some of its tie-ins with more distance between me and the event now is giving me a new appreciation for it; at the time, I was mostly annoyed that the main series was doing absolutely nothing to wrap up Hickman's Avengers run. And, well, it still didn't, but now I can sit back and appreciate that we had a summer of weird and wacky AU miniseries, many of which I actually really enjoyed. (My favorite was 1872, and then probably Civil War, but this is up there.)
Planet Hulk has basically nothing to do with anything else Marvel released, except the name; it's the story of gladiator Steve Rogers and his buddy Devil Dinosaur, traveling the gamma-irradiated, monster-filled wasteland. His quest, of course, is to reach the Red King, who is holding Bucky captive. (This is a Steve Rogers story. I'm sure you can already guess that all is not well with Bucky. Secret Wars tie-ins in general did not go well for Bucky, no.)
I get the feeling that people who aren't me read this for the Steve/Bucky vibes (and are probably disappointed), but, man, I'm just here for a guy and his dinosaur having adventures, and it does not disappoint on that metric. The art is pretty, I love the character design, and I think it is hilarious that many popular works of poetry and also important non-fiction are attributed to Doom, here on Battleworld.
Recommended. Rawr, dinosaur!

Zaskakująco dobra historia drogi, która prowadzi do całkiem satysfakcjonującego zakończenia. Całość wygląda świetnie, choć porównując mapę z pierwszego zeszytu, a mapę z drugiego zeszytu mogłem zanotować pewne nieścisłości w położeniu poszczególnych miejsc...
Steve Rogers, który tutaj bardziej przypomina jakiegoś barbarzyńcę typu Conan, walczy na arenie w towarzystwie Diabelskiego Dinozaura, czyli czerwonego T-Rexa. Fajny zwierzak, który daje radę nawet Hulkom. Robi coś głupiego i naraża się Dr. Doomowi, który jest w tym świecie bogiem. Ale jest bogiem litościwym. Władcy brużdżą zieloni i trzeba ubić ich przywódcę. Tyle, że ten typ zielonego nie przypina się do drzewa i krzyczy przez megafony, a potrafi przyp... mocno uderzyć.
Steve ma też pobudki osobiste. Bucky. Chce go odnaleźć, a ten podobnież jest w niewoli u czerwonego hulka. Zaczyna się przygoda i podróż przez kraj, gdzie wszystko jest duże, zielone i wredne. I chce Cię zabić. Nieoczekiwane sojusze. Trochę walk i końcowe stracie, którego koniec będzie BARDZO gorzki. Super. Mnie całość zaskoczyła pozytywnie.

The original The Incredible Hulk: Planet Hulk story is, by far, my favorite Hulk storyline. This book is really more of an adventure of an alternate universe Steve Rogers on a quest to find alternate universe Bucky. Most of his quest takes place in Greenland (a place consisting entirely of Hulks).
While the start of this book was promising, and Marc Laming's art is fantastic, it gets less and less intriguing as it goes on.
If you enjoy Doc Green or alternate universe Captain America stories, you might love this. It's mostly paced well, and the art is some of the best of the Secret Wars titles.

I think I've finally landed on the problem with these Battleworld and Warzones! comic miniseries. They are being written in the style of an anthology comic similar to Tales from the Crypt, but they're all much to long. None of them take advantage of their form to do anything really interesting with the creative freedom they've been given. Planet Hulk: Warzones! is no different; this is a Twilight Zone episode for Marvel fans that takes far too long and doesn't do anything particularly original with the opportunities laid before it. It tries, which makes its failure more tragic because it restricts itself to such a small scope and such uninteresting didacticism.

First of all, this has nothing to do with Greg Pak's Planet Hulk. Instead, it's an alternate world where a gamma bomb went off and a large part of the general populace became Hulks. Second of all, the protagonist is not any verson of the Hulk, but is, instead, Steve Rogers riding Devil Dinosaur. Third of all, Steve Rogers is able to kill these Hulks with ease. As a Hulk fan, this was a complete miss for me.
Also, the alternernate world these characters are from is developed enough to have gamma bomb technology, but they're all living in a medieval mud land. And there's no reveal of who this version of the Red King is. So, even taken by itself, I don't think this was any good.

El gladiador Steve Rogers ha desafiado la voluntad de Doom y para poder ser perdonado debe ir al dominio de Greenland, dominio infestado de criaturas mutadas como Hulk, siendo uno de los terrenos más inhóspitos de Battleworld, y matar al Red King.
Sin mayores intenciones de cumplir, se ve obligado al saber que su gran amigo, Bucky Barnes, es prisionero del actual baron de Greenland
Con la ayuda de su compañero dinosaurio y Dr Green, Rogers logra su cometido... pero Doom siempre tiene la última palabra
No tener una miniserie que nos recuerde la lealtad de Rogers con Barnes sería un pecado a estas alturas para Marvel. Cumple, no brilla, pero cumple

can't lie i didn't think i was going to like this comic as much as I did. i literally knew nothing before jumping into this. i am not a fan of steve rogers and that's one of the reasons why i thought this wouldn't be my cup of tea, but i quickly changed my mind once i reached the end of the first issue. the writing was excellent and the way the story unraveled to the end. i literally couldn't stop thinking about this comic until i finished the very last issue. even if at the begging i wasn't eager to read something with that much steve rogers, i was very surprised and pleased to find myself enjoying it. it was a very good run and one of the best i've read from secret wars.

A bit confused as I thought it would be about hulk. But this is fun too. Still the boy scout who does the right thing all the time. Not sure where the dinosaur came from, but dinosaur as semi-sentient steed will be cool weather it is Optimus Prime or Capt. A riding it. I really need to see more of doctor doom. He is the big scary ultimate controller of a lot of comics (armor wars, silver surfer, Daredevil) but I don't see him much. Sounds awesome but have yet to really latch onto him like Vader or the Shredder.

I haven't read any of the Secret Wars series at this point and this was my first Planet Hulk. Although it wasn't totally disappointing, it was a little heartbreaking to rate it 3 stars instead of 4. Because I loved the art and the whole build-up to the finale and I guess there was foreshadowing about it, but the way the story ended was kinda unsatisfactory at least to me. I might have bumped this up a star, had Steve gotten at least some sort of closure but no dice.
December 16, 2017
I kept going back and forth between the story just being weird and being good. I haven't read much Marvel and this was my first in the Secret Wars. Captain American goes on a mission to save Bucky and brings Devil Dinosaur. The tagline on the back says it all: Hulks and Dinosaurs. What more do you want?
November 9, 2022
This is the one! A truly ridiculous tale of Steve Rogers as a Devil Dinosaur-riding gladiator sent to the land of the Hulks, on a mission from God Emperor Doom, guided by a lyrical and mysterious Hulk. Leans so far into the Secret Wars setup that it almost falls over, but stays funny and charming and daft throughout. Outstanding cover images too.
September 17, 2018
This story is fun and enjoyable. It’s a nice crossover of Captain America and Hulk. It’s a really good reflection on how the two meet and differ and how they would work combined together. I like the idea of the Hulk world.
