Yet he gets his bones broken by one of Sentry's villains like he's nothing then Sentry beat that guy.
It doesn't fit, as that puts Sentry WAY above anything but the heavy cosmic hitters, as even the likes of the Surfer can't "easily" beat the Hulk, even if they can dispose of him or send him away easy enough.
I haven't the book nearby to check, but didn't Sentry run from the Negative Zone crying like a baby when that happened, rather than defeating him?
And given that the villain in question is The Void, Sentry has a bit of an advantage over others by virtue of being part of the same person the Void is an aspect of.

True in one sense (the void/sentry connection), but I think Sentry threw him into a sun if I remember correctly.
However, the Hulk also fought the Maestro, who was more powerfull than the hulk and was able to defeat the hulk in a fight, but not without some effort.
By all accounts the Hulk was outmatched by this future warped version of himself (it was stronger, more experienced, and more cunning), but the Maestro still had to put a pretty good amount of effort into beating the hulk... in the end the hulk layed a trap for his future self.
I see the void/sentry thing on the same level as this. Which means even if they were still on the same power level, that means the sentry would be able to break the hulks bones fairly easily... which makes the hulk pretty much harmless to the sentry unless you spend a good while before they ever fight letting the hulk get mad as hell.
How does the hulk from the start of WWH match up against the sentry now? Will have to see.
Maybe this is their way of "revamping" the hulk to be on top of the physical strength ladder again, but it still leaves the sentry in an odd place. He should be off world handling cosmic issues with the heralds of Galactus and the like, not dealing with petty Earth villains.
At least the Hulk is generally a reluctant good guy at best, and a misunderstood villain at worst.
He may be the most physically strong creature around if he gets mad, but he usually doesn't initiate trouble, and in general isn't actively out to destroy things... which is why he can get away with being on Earth.

I agree; for example, Sentry's impact on the Civil War was negligible at best, given that the writers had to leave him out of it for a long time. He would have been much better suited to Annihilation instead.

That's true; if he's left alone, he generally doesn't cause too much trouble.
I'll also be interested to see what side they place Sentry on, whether for or against Hulk.
I'd rather see the Sentry either stay out of it completely, or get calle daway to someplace else before any of it happens.
If he gets involved with the Hulk in any way they have to answer why he isn't a calming influence on the Hulk anymore in addition to any potential questions on who is stronger.
He's a character like Dr Strange is, he is too powerfull to be used in any story involving "normal" characters in more than a peripherary capacity.
Here's an interesting interview with Greg Pak on Planet Hulk. There's a little bit of WWH talk in there that might give some insight into what's about to go down. One thing he said, in particular is that Hulk absorbed a lot of radiation from that explosion, thus:
Sentry and Hulk get one or two entire comic books worth of fight time, with Hulk the winner and Sentry finding himself not as insanely powerful as he keeps saying he is.
That being said wwtMask brings up a great point: Hulk will be back with more rage and more strength then ever before. If that is true then I could see Hulk beating Sentry, thousands of stars powerful be fucking damned.
My secret wish
That Hulk crushes Sentry's skull right off the bat, thus ending one very stupid character and causing the mother of "OH SHITS!" moments ever recorded in comic book history
Oddly enough, my rommate found some old crappy comics at a garage sale. And the one where betty dies is one of them. I think she died of radiation posioning from too much exposure to Bruce.
That's the best way that could have possibly ended.
Betty gets poisoned by the Abomination while resting in the hospital, and eventually "dies" from radiation poisoning. I put "dies" in quotes since its later revealed she didn't actually buy the farm, but just fell into a coma and is subsequently cured by some secret organization and given a face-lift to hide her identity since everyone thinks she's dead. It's all part of a crazy storyline involving Bruce sleeping with the Abomination's wife, an evil super-villain known only as Mr. Lips, Betty knocking boots with Doc Samson and scantily-clad hot chicks doing sexy dances to calm the Hulk.
Later, its revealed to all possibly be a dream created by Nightmare to perhaps fuck with the Ol' Hulkster, maybe.
So, yeah...

Best line in WWH #1, in reference to Black Bolt:
Brood - 'Blag Bult?' In my language, it means 'She who urinates uncontrollably.' Why would such a one concern us?
Yeah, I didn't want to get into the whole "maybe Betty isn't really dead" thing... since as far as the Hulk/Banner are concerned, she's dead.
Dead or not dead, it is all the same until some writer wants to bring her back to life and use her in a story...
Maybe it was a dream, maybe she was dead and back to life, maybe she wasn't really dead and cured, maybe it was a clone/twin/alien/robot/whatever.
Until they feel like pulling her out of their back pockets again for use in the books, I just classify her as "dead".
Sad too, she was one of the most compelling aspects of his stories... but bringing her back now would feel so... I don't know, lame. How would she justify being alive and knowing who she was without going to him. How would it be worked out if she was mind controlled, under a spell, whatever and never used against him in all this time.
Maybe they will bring her into the spotlight again in a good way, but it will be hard to do without coming off as lame.

Yeah I hear ya man, I just brought it up because of the sheer ridiculousness.
We'll just say she's dead and slap anybody who says otherwise.
They're helping out Cho, basically confirming that they and possibly the rest of the Champions are on Hulk's side.
I'm not entirely sure that's true, based on the last page of that.
Remember, as smart as Cho is, Reed is still a ways ahead of him. Plus, he doesn't have that whole "if I think really hard I get tired" thing going on
I took that as Reed's little spybots had gotten the image and he was aware that Hulk has allies, I'd think that Herc would definitly side with Hulk, dunno about Angel though.

I'm not even sure at this point that Sentry would fight Hulk; given my fairly obvious mancrush on him, you can be sure I wouldn't be rooting for your outcome. And it's still a million exploding suns, Ultron doesn't get everything right.

It's poetic license, not an accurate description of his power base.
I hope Herc smashes Reed and Ironman in their faces while Namor stands back, selling shirts declaring that he was right, while Charles Xavier uses his now-working legs to run a paltry 10 meters before getting stomped on.

I was hoping it would have the new New Avengers, if only because I want to see Dr. Strange fuck up some Decepticons.
YES
I think a lot of fans would geek out if they have Cap say Prime's original tech-specs quote. You know, "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings."

Like, flinging an asteroid at Earth or getting Galactus to eat the sun or something?

Fencingsax, why do you keep saying things that make me hate you? Because I don't want to hate you, but you keep saying these awful things.
God, I'm probably the only person that thinks Cho needs an ongoing or a miniseries. With Takeshi Miyazawa on the art.
That's not what I said, and he can walk now.

As if Hulk is going to be rational about this.
