*SOME SPOILERS*
Planet Skaar Prologue, was just that, a set-up issue for the bigger arc. Greg Pak has mentioned that his Hulk story is a trilogy, and I expect this may be part three. Pak brings Skaar to Earth looking for Hulk, and his mere approach causes Bruce Banner and Jennifer Walters to "Hulk-up". Norman Osborn, pardons the Warbound and then does his best Montgomery Burns, as he finds out about how Skaar's pressence has effected Kate Waynesboro. I was pleasently surprised with dan Panosian's art, I felt it was so much better than his '90s cross-hatch filled 'Image' style. I also felt Pak handled Reed Richards very well. Looking forward to Skaar #11.
And does anyboby else think, that Skaar looks like the love-child of Conan and She-Hulk.

This is a solid start to what I hope is a strong story. I'm curious to see where it goes next considering the cliff hanger ending. I found this to be a good read although it had some mildly distracting flaws. The parallel of coyote used in the story was a bit on the cheesy side. Maybe it just reminded me a bit too much of the repulsive Amadeus Cho character. I feel like Dan Panosian's pencilling is out of place with this story as his carries a more cartoon-style detail reminiscent of Ed McGuinness. I feel like more serious stories need a darker art style. All in all, I'd recommend this for Hulk fans as well as anyone who is interested in starting a new storyline as this works as a very strong lead in for the new arc.
