Could someone explain to me if there's a difference between these two trades? Are they both covering the same story arc or are they different stories / collections?

One is described as WWH 1 - 5 and the other is a collection of Incredible hulk issues. I would like to read this event but now I am confused as to which of these is the actual event.

@beoftw: Planet Hulk is the prelude to World War Hulk, which was an event miniseries.

@beoftw: I need to read Planet Hulk before you read WWH

That sounds about right.

Got it. Thanks!

@theacidskull: @beoftw: Are those any good at all?Im not a Hulk fan but just want to expand my knowledge over Marvel characters in general

@flameboy298:

Get both of them if you want to read Hulk..personally I think Planet Hulk is the better book. Its different, its quite sad... However you really DO want to see Hulk in action in WWH too!

I think I read WWH. I did not read Planet Hulk, but I saw the movie.
