10 Brilliant Marvel Event Comics Fans Should Read

9. World War Hulk

If you have a friend who just happens to have serious anger management issues, it's probably not the best idea to shove him in a rocket and fire him off into space. Because when he finally returns - and he will - he's going to want to kill you in the most violent of ways, especially if he also blames you for the death of his pregnant wife.

So, good work there, Illuminati fellas.

Having escaped from Planet Hulk (another must-read comic book) and having lost his aforementioned better half on the trip back to Earth, Bruce Banner's alter-ego was not in the mood to play nice with his former friends. In fact, the list of people that feel his gamma-radiated wrath turns out to be pretty epic.

The X-Men, Juggernaut, Ghost Rider, Iron Man, the New Avengers, the Mighty Avengers, the Fantastic Four - all lined up to try to quell his revenge-fuelled rampage and all of them fell. He even forced Doctor Strange, Iron Man, Black Bolt, and Mister Fantastic to fight to the death, after he forced them to battle an alien who had many, many tentacles.
