This is the tale of what the Hulk does on his return to earth, after he was shot into space by Doctor Strange, Iron Man, Black Bolt and Mister Fantastic. He's out for revenge and angrier than ever - which, as comic book readers know, makes him stronger than ever.
But while it's a great premise, the tale feels kind of small. The action is pretty much confined to New York, so there's no sense that the whole world is threatened.
And while Pak tries to make the Hulk a sympathetic character, it's clear to the reader from an early stage that Hulk has got some key facts wrong. The superheroes aren't entirely to blame for the tragedies he's experienced, so when he insists on punishing them anyway he just comes across as a monster. You can understand why they shot him up into space in the first place.
