Part One: The Oath


Synopsis

Planet Hulk (2015 series) #1 synopsis by Peter Silvestro
Rating: 3.5 stars

Battleworld: In Greenland, the Hulk tribes fire a catapult load of rocks and dung at Doom’s Thors flying overhead and the Thors retaliate, destroying part of the village. The Thors depart and the Red King laughs from his throne….

The Captain (Steve Rogers) and his warbound Devil Dinosaur are victorious once again in the arena. The games organizer Arcade comes onto the field to present the Captain with his trophy but Steve grabs the man and drags him into Devil’s mouth, demanding to know where Bucky is. But Arcade is prepared and uses a device to deliver an electric jolt to Steve….

Steve awakens in the presence of the God Emperor Doom and his Sheriff (Stephen Strange). Strange tells Steve there is one way he can avoid judgment: travel to Greenland, meet with their operative on the ground, and assassinate the Red King. Strange then gives Steve his motivation: Steve’s warbound Bucky Barnes is a prisoner of the Red King, having been their previous agent. Steve agrees to do it on one condition: he wants his T. Rex back….

Pondering his memories of his friendship with Bucky, Steve and Devil are magically transported by Strange to Greenland. Crossing the desert they are attacked by gamma-mutated worms. Steve and Devil are being overwhelmed by the monsters when a powerful flash of light stuns the heroes and the monsters alike. The wielder of the light weapon is Doc Green, who welcomes him to Greenland….

Synopsis

By Peter Silvestro
Rating: 3.5 stars

The Origin of the Planet of the Hulks: Bruce Banner, CEO of Bannertch Industries meets with his head scientist Amadeus Cho who demonstrates his plan to use gamma radiation to enlarge pigs and curtail food shortages. Bruce doesn’t like the scheme, messing around with gamma, especially in creating food; besides, Bruce wants to stop people from eating meat altogether. Then they receive an emergency call from SHIELD Commander Gabriel Jones, warning them that their gamma bomb has been stolen by A.I.M. and major cities are being destroyed. When the bomb appears on the horizon heading their way, Amadeus leads a handful of heroes with jetpacks out to meet it. His team shot down by drone, Amadeus holds onto the bomb and is killed when it hits the tower. But he managed to hack into it and modify it so that it scatters fallout rather than exploding and everyone exposed transforms into a Hulk….

Review / Commentaries


Planet Hulk (2015 series) #1 Review by (April 22, 2025)

Review: Another grim Battleworld offering has some very impressive art, bringing this tale to gritty life. But the story has a nihilistic edge, all morals and truth are meaningless with gamma stripping it all away, leaving only anger and violence as a life principle. And our hero, a barbarian version of the beloved Captain America, is finally beaten down and turned bitter as he heads into his future. And none of the Hulk characters fares particularly well either. So…cool art, dark story.

Comments: Part of the SECRET WARS 3 (2015) event. This alternate timeline has been dubbed Earth-15513; the second story takes place in Earth-71612. Second story includes a separate cover by Leonard Kirk and Tamra Bonvillain. Issue includes an essay on the genesis of this book by Senior Editor Mark Paniccia.
