>Probably the best Hulk story, and definitely my favorite, Planet Hulk is being adapted into a feature-length animated film. The straight to DVD and Blu-Ray movie will be released on February 2, 2010. Before that, Planet Hulk will have its first bi-costal public screening at New York Comic Com and in Los Angeles on January 14, 2010.

Planet Hulk was first a story in the Hulk comics in 2006, written by Greg Pak. The story follows Hulk after he has been exiled from earth by the Illuminati (Doctor Strange, Iron Man, Professor X, Sub-Mariner, Reed Richards, and Black Bolt) and sent to a peaceful planet of vegetation. Along the way, his ship is set off course and he crash lands on the gladiatorial planet of Saakar. Once on the planet, Hulk is enslaved and is forced to fight as a gladiator, where he quickly works his way up the ranks and is soon prophesied to be the savior of Saakar. Sounds a lot like Hulk meets Conan? Yeah, but it’s a hell of a lot better than this Red Hulk nonsense that is going on now.
