Excellent Smithers... Now, roll on June!

[Mike Smash!]

I cannot wait for June!

[Jack]

Oh my god, that thing will just burn through any other book it touches.

[Dark Soul # 7]

Yeah, I'm getting that.
Have been waiting for it. Seems like a great way to read the Planet Hulk storyline.

[mushroom2703]

Yea, i've purposely not read or heard anything about planet hulk, awaiting this fateful day. Now i'll finally get to sit down and read the entire thing. It will be awesome. And then Hulk will smash, WORLDWAR STYLE.

No discount from amazon? :(

No discount from amazon? :(
They usually don't have discounts until the books are officially announced.

And I wouldn't order from Amazon if I were you anyway.

Overstock.Com or Wal-Mart.Com are usually cheaper in the long run. :D

[Generic Eric]

Damn, that is a nice collection. Is Planet Hulk any good though? Amazon.com will probly have this book for less than 25 bucks when it's ready to ship. I don't want pay less than Amazon prices. I feel that there is some kind of bad karma for paying less than wholesale on a new book. When Mile High comics offers trades and hardcovers for 40% off they say they are actually losing money.

[Sam T.]

That seems to be a must have for sure!!

[ScottySummers]

I've never really been interested in the Hulk, his cousin has always caught my eye more, for some reason. But this, I am really intrigued about - I can definately see myself picking this up when it's released.

Is the Gladiator Guidebook included in the HC?

Is the Gladiator Guidebook included in the HC?

Same thing I was about to ask too.

Though I own all the issues up to now, I'd get this book as well, on saving myself the trouble of having to take the issues out of thier plastics and enjoying a whole read in just my hands :)

i hope the GG is in the collection-why is the amazing fantasy story in there?

There is a character in Hulk #100 who finds out what happened to the Hulk and he appeared in Amazing Fantasy. I was waiting for Marvel to do individual graphic novels of each part before doing a hardcover. I am going to get this because I missed the first four issues and the Giant Size Hulk.

[Chris Johnson]

Glad to see they're not spacing this out over 2 or 3 trades. One nice fat collection was what I was hoping for.

[Guitar Hero]

I already own all the Planet Hulk issues, so where does that put me? :( , I guess the only reason i'd buy it is for the "Mastermind Excello" back issue.

[drunkentiger]

More pages is always a good thing when it
comes to the Hulk. Thanks for the info Beast.

The Gladiator Handbook addition was a must IMO, I was actually shocked to hear it wasn't originally included in the HC solicit. There were just tons and tons of cool background tidbits in there. :)

Shame they're cutting the other stories from the Giant Size Hulk #1 out though.

Though I guess the other stories arn't really relevent to the "Planet Hulk" story.

The one really ties more into WWH. And the other is just a reprint of Hulk: The End.

[Mike Smash!]

Shame they're cutting the other stories from the Giant Size Hulk #1 out though.It's a shame, but I'm just glad the Gladiator Guidebook will be in there.

Exactly. The Champions' story might have been nice though (if not really relevant) because it's not likely to ever see reprint again like "The End" would.

[Beast]

It's a shame, but I'm just glad the Gladiator Guidebook will be in there.
Hey Mike, mind changing the thread title to 6/13/2007. Since the 20th was early info.

Hey Mike, mind changing the thread title to 6/13/2007. Since the 20th was early info.Consider it done.

[rZi]

I too only read the first few issues of PH to build up my appetite in anticipation for this. I love reading back to back...suspense is a killer =(

[Trey]

I wish this was out before WWH started. The prologue is out on May 9th according to Marvel.com Maybe it will recap the Planet Hulk story?

[TransformersFan]

The HC is out on the 13th, the same day WWH #1 is realeased.

I need to pick up the Planet Hulk prelude.

[Ravenheart]

Have it pre-ordered.Can't wait for it :)
