If you want to read everything, I’d recommend you check out Comic Book Herald’s complete World War Hulk reading order.įor just the Greg Pak issues (which is a totally reasonable way to read World War Hulk), I’d read in the following order: There are a LOT of tie-ins with World War Hulk, as this officially marked MARVEL EVENT territory. World War Hulk may just be my favorite 2000’s Marvel event, with the Marvel Illuminati getting their inevitable comeuppance at the hands of the Greenest Rage Monster the Marvel heroes have ever seen.

Pak didn’t even take a flashback issue break! Issues: #92 to #105, Giant-Size Hulk #1 (read after Incredible Hulk #95)Ĭollects: World War Hulk Prologue: World Breaker, World War Hulk 1-5, Incredible Hulk (2000) 106-111, Iron Man (2005) 19-20, Avengers: The Initiative 4-5, Irredeemable Ant-Man 10, World War Hulk: X-Men 1-3, Ghost Rider (2006) 12-13, Heroes For Hire (2006) 11-15, Punisher War Journal (2007) 12, World War Hulk: Gamma Corps 1-4, World War Hulk: Front Line 1-6, World War Hulk: Aftersmash One-Shot, Wwh Aftersmash: Damage Control 1-3, Wwh Aftersmash: Warbound 1-5, Planet Hulk Sagaįor me, so much of what made Pak’s Hulk saga so incredible (puns!) was that the series went straight from Planet Hulk to World War Hulk as a single continuous narrative. Issues: Fantastic Four #533 to #535, and Incredible Hulk #88 to #91 If you truly have no idea what’s going to happen in Planet Hulk, I recommend reading this issue after Incredible Hulk #92 as a flashback. This “Road to Civil War” one-shot introduces the Illuminati, and their conversations that set up the events of Planet Hulk.Ĭhronologically, this issue is a little tricky, as the Illuminati discuss a plan that hasn’t happened yet, but the panels display events from comics in Prelude to Planet Hulk and Incredible Hulk #92. Issues: New Avengers: Illuminati (2006) One-Shot Worth noting that Amazing Fantasy #15 includes the introduction of Amadeus Cho, aka Mastermind Excello, in a Greg Pak written short story that sets the stage for many Hulk issues to come. Makes the most sense chronologically before the events of Planet Hulk, although it’s not directly related. Giant-Size Hulk #1 (released in June 2006) contains a 10 page Pak story that occurs between Incredible Hulk #95 and Incredible Hulk #96. Collects: Fantastic Four (1998) 533-535, Incredible Hulk (2000) #88 to #95, Giant-Size Hulk (2006) 1, Incredible Hulk #96 to #105, What If? Planet Hulk, Planet Hulk: Gladiator Guidebook, Material From New Avengers: Illuminati (2006), Amazing Fantasy (2004) 15ĭue for first release in September 2017, the Planet Hulk omnibus effectively captures the full scope of the Planet Hulk narrative, from the Prelude in Fantastic Four #533 to #535 to the conclusion in Incredible Hulk #105.
