Finished reading Planet Hulk: Warzones! Diving into the Battleworld from the Secret Wars event writer Sam Humphries takes a gladiator version of Captain America with his own T-Rex on a journey around a domain full of giant creatures and a terrain that is just as deadly. The book opens up in the domain of Greenland which is home to Hulks and other monstrous creatures that have been affected by the gamma radiated wasteland as a gladiator version of Captain America along with Devil Dinosaur are tasked by Doctor Doom to kill the leader of Greenland, the Red King. When Captain America and Devil Dinosaur are transported to Greenland by Doctor Strange as the two are attacked by large monstrous insects only to be saved by a Hulk calling himself Doc Green who joins the two on their journey to the Mud Kingdom where the Red King lives. Overall this was a great book as it not only dives into the domain of Greenland but also dives into the history and some of the effects that Doom has had on Battleworld when he created it after the end of the multiverse. The flashbacks to how Captain America became a gladiator in Doom's Killiseum works extremely well within the book as this helps to flesh out the character really well and helps to show the relationship between Steve and Bucky which is also the driving force of the mission. While Doc Green as a character is a nice addition to the book especially with how he affects the story towards the end of the book which is a very interesting twist to close the book. The artwork throughout the book is brilliant as artists Marc Laming designs some breathtaking landscapes and the monstrous creatures look stunning thanks to the amount of detail that has been put into them. 8/10.
