World War Hulk #4

World War Hulk #4 continues Marvels big Summer event and although the serie4s has presented some solid action and very good fight scenes, there's something very annoying about this series.

In Planet Hulk, we saw the Hulk at peace, living in a world where he finally belonged and living with a woman who finally accepted him. But it was all taken away from him due to a bomb set in place by some of Marvels heroes. Hulk returned with a heart full of rage and wants revenge on the heroes. All of this is fine and dandy but the writing has done a poor job of showing the Hulk as a tragic character. He doesn't come off sad about his world being destroyed, he barely even looks like he cares. To put it simply, the Hulk looks like a bully. He's just beating the crap out of Marvels heroes and not even relating to the pain there feeling.

The worst part of it all however is the fact that the ending of this series was foreseeable from the first issue. It hasn't been kept secret, The Sentry has been lurking in every issue of this comic and we all know the last issue features a final battle between the Hulk and the Sentry. A battle that the Sentry will surely win. I'm hoping the last issue surprises me and throws a curve-ball my way, but I don't see it happening.

As for the content of issue #4, it comes with everything issues #1-3 came with. Great artwork on behalf of John Romita Jr., and a ton of action.
