The heroes of Earth fail, Doctor Strange fails to calm down Bruce Banner's mind and things just go poorly overall until The Sentry shows up - Marvel's Deus Ex Machina - and fights Hulk until he runs out of rage and changes back to Banner. Hulk and his Warbound head back to our galaxy, stop on the Moon to beat the crap out of Black Bolt, then come to Manhattan to take on everyone. blow up the planet Hulk is on, kills his love, and makes Hulk believe that it was part of the plan to destroy him by the Illuminati - Black Bolt, Iron Man, Mr. That would be World War Hulk, where Greg Pak and John Romita Jr. So, of course, Marvel's next move was to destroy all that and send a very angry Hulk back to the Earth. It is basically the Hulk meets Gladiator and tells a great self-contained story that involves the Hulk finally finding a place where he fits in, finding love and a sense of purpose. I think the Planet Hulk storyline may be one of the best Hulk stories ever written.
