Just who are the new post-Secret Wars Marvel comics aimed at?
It seems that not only that the characters skew younger, but the writing seems to be more kid friendly and, well, safe and inoffensive. Like tapioca pudding. Without raisins.
Hulk grunts about the importance of sharing. Hulk argues with his friends about the no-kill rule. Hijinks ensue.
Hulk talks about the importance of fiber in a diet. “Hulk hate broccoli, but love beans.”
Hulk smashes tooth decay by brushing after every meal.
In the final volume of Pak’s run on Amadeus Hulk, it seems that Dark Hulk has been finally gotten out of the metaphorical trunk.
Amadeus is still smart, because Calculus sh*t swirls around his head…
…but now has more added verdant shades of malice.
His Amazing Teeny Bopper Friends try to talk him down…
…or just punch the crap out of him so he’ll revert back to nice Hulk.
…but with not much luck.
Is it me or does it seem that Captain Marvel makes an appearance in every Marvel book?
Faux menace for the tie.
The first volume of the original World War Hulk is also included here, because fan boys don’t want to pony up dough for a four issue volume. It’s just a sad reminder that the Hulk has seen better times and how much I hate the artwork of John Romita Jr.
Bottom line: I’ve liked Pak’s stuff in the past (the real Incredible Hulk, the Incredible Hercules), but here, he just seems to be phoning it in or letting the editors at Marvel run rough shod over his better instincts. Goodbye, Amadeus Hulk!

*Minor spoilers below - you have been warned*
Greg Pak brings his three year Amadeus Cho as the new Hulk storyline to a close by recycling his World War Hulk story, much as he recycled his old Planet Hulk story in the last volume.
It was kind of satisfying, character arc-wise, but otherwise felt a bit sloppy. It would've been nice if Cho's old best bud Hercules could've made an appearance but I suppose Thor brings in more readers and two superhero-gods might have been overkill.
This isn't the last we'll see of Cho, though, as he's still going to be in the Champions, even in his de-powered state. I've always thought he worked better in a supporting role anyway.

This was so good omg!
Okay so the Hulk is back and we see the dark hulk announce his intensions to save everyone and we see him battling it out with his friends, BP and Alpha flight and later on Carol and Odinson comes in and we see the fight and its epic meanwhile in Amadeus mind how he handles it all and tries to wrest back control and its a war on two sides and I love the way it ends and the status quo, and it teaches us to accept every part of ourself and its awesome and it does the whole thing so well and next up: Immortal hulk and thats gonna be an awesome read for sure!
But this one again was epic in all the right ways and does well to close out Amadeus adventure and yeah the title was too click baity but then again it does its job well and it would have been so much better if there wwas more fighting but oh well. Also I loved WW1 included here, its so epic and just the 1st issue itself sets the crazy pace of it, its awesome for sure. But this volume is a great one-time read!

World War Hulk II is definitely a misnomer to attract you to read this book. The story focuses on Amadeus fighting the "Hulk" for control of his body. Pak has been leading up to this for a very long time. The two fight it out in the back of Amadeus's car in his head while a greatest hits parade of characters from the Totally Awesome run make appearances. It's OK, but I've never really loved this series. Amadeus was always more interesting in previous series where we could see him solve problems on the fly using his brains, not his brawn. This brotastic version of Hulk has always grated on me.

The original World War Hulk was (is) brilliant. This was...quick.

I've ranted before about how I didn't care for Marvel's "forced diversity doppelgangers",copies of the main Avengers characters, but younger and usually non-white. While not against diversity, I don't really care for putting the traditional characters aside. That being said, if these doppelgangers exist "off to the side" I don't really mind.
I haven't been keeping up with the latest on Amadeus Cho. Apparently he's been going through some stuff. This volume is the culmination of that and what you have is basically a retelling of Peter David's work on the original Hulk, without giving away too much, Cho and the Hulk come together and have an agreement, thus setting off in a new direction. Along the way, there is the usual battle of the other heroes fighting the Hulk. While there were a few new, unique ideas, but this felt very familiar, retreading ground that has already been cleared before. It also mark's the end of Greg Pak's run on this character.

The inner Hulk is in control, and everybody thinks it's bad, apparently. This doesn't justify the level of panic, in my opinion. Included as filler is the original World War Hulk #1, which reinforces how epic that was and this is not.

[Read as single issues]
Back from an eventful sojourn on Planet Sakaar, Amadeus Cho returns to Earth a new Hulk – but change isn’t always progress, and instead Amadeus finds himself at war with both himself and his friends as the darkness inside him threatens to subsume his personality and leave the Marvel Universe with an unstoppable Dark Hulk in his place. Every Marvel fan knows that after Planet Hulk, comes World War Hulk!
As an extension of the Legacy rebranding, Totally Awesome Hu- I mean, Hulk has decided to retread two of the most iconic Hulk stories in history, both oddly enough also written by Greg Pak. And like Return To Planet Hulk previously, World War Hulk II isn’t a patch on the original, unfortunately. I will give Pak credit for having built to this kind of story right from the beginning of his run – the idea of Amadeus suppressing his inner rage and that leading to problems has been rife throughout the entire series, and it makes sense for it all to come to a head after everything he experienced on Sakaar.
You can tell this is the final arc of Pak’s series by the fact that all of the previous guest stars and villains return for another go around. The Protectors team re-emerges, as do some of Amadeus’s Champions compatriots, while some of the aliens Amadeus previously beat the crap out of come back to get beaten the crap out of again. There’s definitely a sense that Amadeus is coming to the end of this leg of his journey, but it’s a bit of a bumpy ride to get there.
The problem with this arc I think is that it just doesn’t seem to live up to the World War Hulk name. It’s more of a brawl across a few city blocks than a war, and despite the assertion that Amadeus should be immensely strong if he gives in to his darker side, the stakes just don’t feel that high. He swats aside his friends and foes fairly easily, but the really interesting battle takes place inside Amadeus’s mind, and that’s more to do with the visual metaphor of literally fighting to be in the driver’s seat than anything more substantial.
The story ends with Amadeus is a very different place than he was before, but Pak’s not going to be the one to explore it (see Jim Zub’s Champions run instead), which makes me wonder what the point of it all was. It seems strange to change a character so fundamentally and then leave him to his own devices; I know the ‘true’ (heavy air quotes) Hulk is back now, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that Amadeus’s solo adventures have to come to an end.
One thing this book does have in its favour is that it ditches Greg Land on art, so there’s no more pornface Hulk, thankfully. Instead Carlo Barberi steps in for these four issues, and he’s a much better fit for the character. His slick visuals suit Hulk very well, and he’s probably the closest of all the artists on the book previously in terms of style to Frank Cho who opened the series. Honestly, anyone but Greg Land would have been an improvement, but Barberi’s a great choice.
World War Hulk II suffers from trying to live up to a story that it doesn’t have the ability to live up to. It doesn’t reach the heights of the original story, nor does it offer a very satisfying conclusion for Amadeus, but overall it’s not bad - it just could have been so much more than what it turned out to be.

I never liked Amadeus Cho's Hulk. I haven't read much "Totally Awesome" Hulk, but what I did read wasn't "Totally Awesome". In fact, that adjective actually made this new Hulk that much more annoying. Hulk shouldn't be annoying. He should be angry. Respected out of fear. Cho's attitude never meshed well me. Maybe it's just because I'm older and this Hulk is meant to be enjoyed specifically by the younger generation.
Planet Hulk II made me like Amadeus Cho less. It also was a great letdown because I absolutely loved the original Planet Hulk. But here comes "Totally Awesome" Hulk with his young adult coolness to dilute the seriousness that was Planet Hulk.
Then I learned World War Hulk II was coming out and for some reason, I thought it was going to be old Banner Hulk, but apparently he's dead. (Sorry, can't keep up with comics like most people.) So, we get Cho again. WWHII makes me like him even less.
Cho's dark side takes over and now he thinks he's judge, jury, and executioner, which is fine by me, because I've always enjoyed Hulk when he makes himself the law. He's the strongest one there is, after all. But then almost immediately, just when I started to actually like Cho, here comes the plan to stop him: counter nano-bots! Also learned it was nanobots that gave Cho the ability to be the Hulk as well. What is with writers needing to scientifically explain everything these days? George Lucas with his midi-chlorians. Anne Rice with her luracastria? Why can't we just enjoy the magic of our characters without it being explained all away?
So, instead of an actual "World War", just a handful of heroes fight the Hulk while he's doused with counter-nanobots (facepalm) that allow the buried away good side of Cho to fight against the dark side. I'm not even going to touch on him sending his sister messages to her via Morris code by making the Hulk twitch. Just too stupid.
Eventually, good Cho takes over bad Cho by merging into him, and then we see a new physical transformation in the Hulk. He's skinnier, less muscular, and looks more like puny Cho. Is he nerfed now? I don't know. Probably won't read anymore. Oh, and he got sued by the city for 10.6 billion dollars for damages, considering the only damages to the city was done to one building's rooftop where he fought just a few people, not most of the Marvel Universe, like Banner did. Some "World War"....

Hulk: World War Hulk II - 3/5 ★'s
I love the Totally Awesome Hulk series and I love Greg Pak. However, that being said, I definitely don't think this story lived up to its predecessor.
Hulk is returning from Sakaar and Amadeus Cho is locked inside Hulk's head. He has no control over himself. Same idea as the first. The twist is that Hulk thinks he is doing the right thing. He is smart, knows what's going on unlike Bruce when he hulked out. This is a very interesting concept and I think a lot could come out of it but not enough did. The story was very short. Return to Planet Hulk as well. I think this deserved to be, not quite a grand event, but bigger. It felt very rushed. Plus the first issue from the first World War Hulk was included which wasn't exactly necessary in my opinion. The story is good but should be extended.
The art, on the other hand, was amazing! Everything was very clean. Barberi and Lorenzana both did wonderfully. Even though there were two different art styles it didn't bother me. They both looked great and to be honest, looked very similar to one another.
Overall, I liked the story. I just feel as if it didn't nearly reach its full potential. If you like Amadeus as the Hulk I definitely think the story would be a good read for you. There is a lot of solid character development even in its short story. Plus, I think the ending is interesting... my guess is that it will be crucial for the Champions story line.

De todos esses "heróis de legado" da Marvel, o Totalmente Incrível Hulk, "interpretado" por Amadeus Cho foi o que gerou o pior resultado. Uma porque estragou o personagem Amadeus Cho que já era cheio das suas próprias nuances, outra porque tentou conferir a Amadeus um dilema parecido com o do Hulk original, que era o de conter a fúria presa no seu âmago. Este encadernado lida exatamente com isso, como Chulk que está dominado pela raiva e pela fúria e começa a destruir Nova York. Assim, seus amigos mais próximos vão tentar impedí-lo de fazê-lo. Mas é um trama tão fraca, tão fraca, tão chata e tão sem nenhum atrativo, que você lê todas essas páginas como se tivesse usando uma peneira ainda mais furada de um jeito que, no final, nada fica. Ou seja, essa nova fase e esse novo Hulk acabam se despedindo do leitor neste encadernado sem deixar um pingo de saudades, mostrando que essa decisão de transformar Amadeus Cho em um Hulk Jr. foi uma das piores decisões tomadas pela Marvel juntando-se ao fato de a revistado Totalmente Incrível Hulk, foi a pior publicações desses novos "heróis de legado" da editora.

Returning from Planet Sakaar, Hulk has returned to Earth. On the surface, Hulk looks to have reconciled his dual personality... but underneath, we see that Hulk is in charge, driving the car with Amadeus in the trunk. What happens when Hulk is in charge? Hubris to the extreme!
Now seeing himself as the ultimate mash of brains and brawn, Hulk declares himself in charge of all.
Alpha Flight, Champions, and Avengers all ally against him, but its only through coordinated attacks from heroes, Cho on the inside, and the nanobots they keep throwing at him, that they are able to put him down. The change is a permanent one as well. Hulk now takes the face of Cho, much like She-Hulk keeps Jennifer's face.
A quick read and a good one, though not even close to the epic level of the first World War Hulk.
Recommend. With his physical change, this story will be important.

Not being aware of a "new" Hulk, and wondering if it might be like "New Coke" for those old enough to remember that advertising campaign, my expectations were tentative at first. In comics, there are a few certainties. Who is Spider-Man? Peter Parker; no, there's Miles Morales (and Doc Ock). Capt. America? Steve Rogers; no, they fired him (and fired AT him) and then there was another. Thor? God of Thunder; no, there's a woman warrior. Iron Man? Tony Stark; no, James Rhodes donned the armor for a time. So, the Hulk? Bruce Banner; no, here's Amadeus Cho. Reading the internal and external "battles" with the Hulk was an interesting story; the WWH #1 story at the end made for a good wrap-up. Hulk battles are usually visual first, but this collection showed it's what inside that counts, sometimes as well.

So this is the last Amadeus Cho Hulk book I guess. Kinda a lackluster end to what could've been a really fun character. It kinda seems like Greg Pak got the word that they were putting Banner back in the book and giving it to another writer and so he pumped out two redos of previous storylines (Planet Hulk, the previous volume, and this book) and then closed up shop.
But hey, it's comics. Everyone knew that no change can be permanent and it's not like Marvel can have two superheros with the same name running around out there at the same time *cough*Spider-Man*cough* so I guess I'll have to get my Cho time in the Champions book.

This is Pak's second swan song for the "Hulk:, the first with Bruce Banner (five years) with Heart of the Monster in 2011, and this second one (three years) with Amadeus Cho's turn as the character.
Afterwards, Jason Aaron and Mark Waid had some short runs until Ewing epic began.
With the recently announced "World War She-Hulk" (by Jason Aaron). This fits well into Marvel pounding a story into the ground...Return to Planet Hulk and Planet Red Hulk

I'm of two minds about this (aw, gee, just like the Hulk!) On one hand, it's a HUGE stretch calling this World War Hulk. It's just Hulk vs. a few other heroes. On the other hand, it's a pretty entertaining volume and maybe the most I enjoyed this run. Part of it is that Amadeus Cho finally gets some agency and weight to his own story. Too bad it comes just as his time as Marvel's solo Hulk is ending. But, despite myself, the ending left me interested in where the character was going next.
February 17, 2022
While I didn't love the original World War Hulk, I felt it had to be told given the circumstances. Here, the situation didn't bear that out. I liked this more than I expected to but it rehashed so much of what has already gone on in the book. The last chapter saved it. The art was very good throughout. Overall, a decent read but a disappointing run for Cho as Hulk.
August 21, 2018
Better than the last story, but still feels very rushed and there is no avenue of investment for the reader. It seems like Pak had a story idea and they said he would be removed from the book so he did not bother to flesh out the action scenes into a story.
October 28, 2018
The end of Pak's Amadeus Hulk run...very focused on inner demons.
January 18, 2019
So....we're just literally going to repeat every Hulk story in the order that they happened to the first one? That's a little....lazy.

And here is another solid series-capper. Also, very nice art on this one.
