I read World War Hulk first, but had been following the hype for Planet Hulk in the year of its publication. I bit the bullet and coughed up the 35 bucks (35 dollars for a paperback comic?!).

The artwork is really wonderful - and the story is entertaining. Just about everything about the story is derivative and I've seen it dozens of times before - every character, the main and side plots - but still it was a good read (probably because of it, rather than despite it - something of a tribute, while forwarding the difficult-to-expand-upon character of The Hulk).

Not a 35 dollar read, mind you, but a good read.

Highlights for me were the fast moving detailed scenes (Flash Gordon meets Gladiator), and The Spike (not quite zombies, or the techno-organic virus of Warlock fame).

Borrow it and give it a read! ( )

Enjoyed it, though the plot became repetitive. ( )

The first Hulk collection I've ever read. The premise seems a little silly at first (Hulk is shot into outer space and enslaved on war-torn planet) but it was really good, better than I expected. ( )
