What If...? Planet Hulk; writer: Greg Pak; art: Lenard Kirk & Rafa Sandovarl
What If...? 'Planet Hulk', This looks like it's going to be one hell of a what if? Written by Greg Pak (Hulk & Planet Hulk) and penciled by Lenard Kirk & Rafa Sandovarl. This issue contains three stories which are; What if the Hulk had landed on the peaceful planet? What if Banner had landed on Sakaar instead of Hulk? What if Cairea had come to Earth seeking revenge instead of the Hulk? If you are and have enjoyed the 'Planet Hulk' run and World War Hulk, check out the What if? Planet Hulk.
Last year, a group of Marvel heroes decided the Hulk was too dangerous for Earth, tricked him into a shuttle, and shot him into space. After the Hulk rose from slave to gladiator to conquering emperor on the savage planet of Sakaar, the shuttle exploded - destroying the Hulk's people and his pregnant queen. And the entire Marvel Universe knows what happened next as the Hulk returned to wreak his terrible vengeance in the pages of "World War Hulk." But what if the Hulk had landed on the peaceful planet the Marvel heroes originally intended? What if Banner had landed on Sakaar instead of the Hulk? And what if the Hulk's warrior bride Caiera the Oldstrong had come to Earth seeking vengeance instead of her husband? Get ready for three shocking tales of what could have been from the writer of the "Planet Hulk" and "World War Hulk" epics. The Hulk was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirkby in 1962 and first appeared in The Incredible Hulk #1.

'When Lexcorp accidentally unearths the intergalactic serial killer Doomsday, Superman battles the creature head-on in the fight of his life. The world collectively mourns its fallen hero; humanity realises it will never feel truly safe again. Superman's enemies rejoice - all but Lex Luthor, who grieves the loss of his own demented manner, setting off a chilling chain of events that even he couldn't have foreseen'.
Starring Adam Baldwin (Firefly) as the voice as Superman, James Marsters (Buffy) as Lex Luthor and Anne Heche as reporter Lois Lane.
Dark Horse's biggest hit of 2006 is now available in a special-edition hardcover! Joss Whedon, the pop-culture mastermind behind Buffy the Vampire Slayer, bridged the gap between his cult-hit Firefly TV series and his Serenity motion picture with this collected three-issue miniseries.
Penned by Whedon and Brett Matthews, a Firefly show writer, the ragtag crew takes on a scavenger mission with the promise of a big payoff. Only too late do they realize the gig is orchestrated by an old enemy eager to remake their acquaintance.
