£22.00

The Incredible Hulk #92 (2006) — 1st Part Of Planet Hulk · Greg Pak Modern Key

A defining modern Marvel Hulk key. The Incredible Hulk #92 is the opening chapter of Greg Pak's "Planet Hulk" storyline — the 2006-2007 arc that exiles the Hulk to the alien gladiator-world Sakaar after the Illuminati ship him off-planet. The arc's world-building (Sakaar, the Grandmaster, Korg, Miek, the gladiator pits) became the source material for Thor: Ragnarok (2017)'s second act in the MCU.

Pak's Hulk era (2005-2010+) is widely cited as one of the strongest modern Hulk creative runs — Planet Hulk leads directly into World War Hulk (2007), and the wider Pak-era catalogue carries through into the Skaar and Hulk Family titles. With World War Hulk in development at Disney+, source-material keys for that storyline remain in active modern collector demand.

This copy is brand-new Near Mint Plus (NM+), raw, bagged and boarded. Strong candidate for CGC submission at the 9.8 NM/MT band.

Why It Matters

  • star 1st part of Planet Hulk. The opening chapter of the Pak-era Hulk arc that exiles the character to Sakaar. Story-arc anchor issues compress harder than mid-arc fillers — collectors building a Planet Hulk run target this issue specifically.
  • star Thor: Ragnarok (2017) source. The MCU film drew its Sakaar gladiator-arena second act directly from Planet Hulk — Grandmaster, Korg, Miek, the world-building all sourced from this arc. Live-action MCU adaptation is one of the strongest structural lifts a modern key can receive.
  • star World War Hulk lead-in. Planet Hulk leads directly into World War Hulk (2007) — the Hulk's revenge-against-the-Illuminati arc — and is structurally inseparable from that follow-up storyline. Disney+'s in-development WWH project keeps the wider arc in active modern collector demand.
  • star Greg Pak era anchor. Pak's 2005-2010 Hulk run is widely cited as one of the strongest modern Hulk creative eras. Pak-era keys form a defined modern Hulk collector cluster.
  • star First-tier supporting cast intros. The arc introduces Korg, Miek, Hiroim, Caiera, Elloe and the broader Sakaaran cast — first appearances of these characters spread across the arc's opening issues.
  • star Entry-tier slab candidate. Clean NM+ raw at £22 is the entry-tier slab candidate for collectors building a 9.8 NM/MT modern Marvel key portfolio. 2006-era Marvel paper grades reliably with proper handling.

The Planet Hulk Arc

Planet Hulk is a 13-issue Marvel storyline running through The Incredible Hulk #92-105, written by Greg Pak with art primarily by Carlo Pagulayan and Aaron Lopresti. The premise: Marvel's Illuminati (Iron Man, Mister Fantastic, Doctor Strange, Black Bolt and Professor X) trick the Hulk into a starbound shuttle, exiling him from Earth. The shuttle crashes on the alien gladiator-world Sakaar, where the Hulk is enslaved into the planet's arena fighting circuit.

The arc introduces the wider Sakaaran cast — Korg, Miek, Hiroim, Caiera the Oldstrong, Elloe Kaifi — and culminates with the Hulk taking over Sakaar's throne. The follow-up arc, World War Hulk (2007), follows the Hulk back to Earth seeking revenge on the Illuminati.

In the MCU, Thor: Ragnarok (2017) drew its Sakaar second act directly from this arc — including the Grandmaster, Korg, Miek and the gladiator-Hulk premise. With World War Hulk in active development at Disney+, the source-material books for both Planet Hulk and WWH remain in active modern collector demand.

Collector Notes

Three structural factors converge on this listing. First, the arc-anchor key designation — Hulk #92 is the recognised first-part anchor for Planet Hulk across CGC, GoCollect, Key Collector and ComicsPriceGuide. Second, the MCU adaptation halo — Thor: Ragnarok's Sakaar arc came directly from this storyline. Third, the forward catalyst — World War Hulk in development at Disney+ keeps the wider arc in active demand.

For collectors building a modern Hulk key run, this slot anchors the Pak-era band — typically paired with Hulk #100 (Planet Hulk arc finale, 1st Hiro-Kala / Skaar setup), the World War Hulk #1 (2007) launch, and Skaar: Son of Hulk #1 (2008). For collectors building a Greg Pak full-writer set, this is the era's foundational issue.

Companion piece to other modern Marvel keys in our exclusives lane — sits in the same buy-cycle as the Vengeance #1 1st America Chavez and the wider modern-Marvel-key cluster.

Why is Hulk #92 the recognised Planet Hulk key? add

It's the opening chapter of the 13-issue Planet Hulk arc. The Hulk's exile from Earth, his crash-landing on Sakaar, and the early arena introductions all begin in this issue. CGC, GoCollect, Key Collector and ComicsPriceGuide all anchor "1st part Planet Hulk" on Hulk #92.

Did Thor: Ragnarok come from this arc? add

Yes — Thor: Ragnarok (2017)'s second-act Sakaar gladiator-arena was drawn directly from Greg Pak's Planet Hulk. The Grandmaster, Korg, Miek, the gladiator-Hulk premise and the world-building are all sourced from this storyline. Live-action MCU adaptation lifts the floor on first-arc-appearance modern Hulk keys.

What about World War Hulk? add

World War Hulk (2007) is the direct follow-up arc — the Hulk returns to Earth seeking revenge on the Illuminati for his exile. The two arcs are structurally inseparable. Disney+ has had World War Hulk in active development as part of the MCU's Phase 5+ planning, which keeps the wider Pak-era arc in active modern collector demand.

What does NM+ mean? add

"NM+" denotes Near Mint Plus — a step above Near Mint condition. Cleaner spine, sharper corners, no spine roll, no defects. NM+ raw stock is the strongest entry-tier slab candidate for the 9.8 NM/MT band — though final CGC grade is never guaranteed by any seller.

Can I have it CGC graded? add

Yes. CGC submission with optional pre-screen handling at checkout. Hulk #92 typically slabs with the "1st part Planet Hulk" key designation on the label. 9.8 NM/MT slabs are the floor for this key; 2006-era Marvel paper grades reliably. Final grade is never guaranteed.

How is it shipped? add

Bag, board, rigid mailer, insured tracked courier. Same packaging standard we use on slabs. Dispatched daily from Canterbury, Kent — UK orders typically arrive next-working-day.
