The Immortal Hulk Omnibus

Product Information

There are strong vibes of Alan Moore's initial run on "swamp thing" where he cleans the slate before doing what he wants. It veers from the cliched (take a look at the doctor’s comments during Langkowski’s emergency surgery - I burst out laughing) to the outright bad. Highly recommend this for anyone interested in horror/high sci-fi or fantasy, but in a modern setting. Taking all the psychological horror/trauma of Bruce Banner and his multiple personalities and mixing it with visceral body horror makes this one of the best Marvel series I've ever read.

There’s also an annoying attempt to ret-con Banner’s family tree, which would be too much of a spoiler to expand on. First half of this omnibus contains some of the best Hulk storylines: part horror, part philosophical meditation, part smash everything in sight. And while the books and later the movies would try to place Hulk on the side of the angels, making him more controlled and heroic and even occasionally an Avenger. Definitely recommended if you are a Hulk fan or want to know the character in a way more complex way than "The green dude that says Hulk smash".There’s some very of-the-moment satire around Fox News and Black Lives Matter; alas, Ewing passes up the opportunity for a Green Lantern/Green Arrow “what about the green skins? It’s goofy edgelord grimdark stuff, but that’s more interesting than the usual takes on the character. Being raised mostly by my mom, this is the closest I came to bro-ing down with a parent over a hot babe, which is something I assume dads and sons do, sort of, at some point, but maybe not. I have never read a Hulk story before, and I must say that the results with this series are rather impressive.

Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page. Unfortunately, those first five issues were deceptively good, because the story never reached those same highs in the following 10 issues. Which kinda sucks but the narrative is so strong that you don't necessarily have to know everyone and everything.

In reality, I read these issues as the first 3 collections of the comic, but as I read them all together I want to keep them together in 1 entry. I didn't understand why Joe Fixit couldn't appear as Gray Hulk except for a handful of panels in the entire 1,600+ page tome. The artwork and colouring is well done, not one for children though as it deals with adult themes and is quite horror based with monsters etc.

This might have been intended as an inner-space antidote to the usual Cosmic Marvel, except Al Ewing tries to have his cake and eat it. It’s a bit shit that you can charge umpty-ump dollars for a comic and still ruin some of the images). Started ok-ish with some kind of mysterious horror vibe but quickly descended into the usual Marvel blend of shitty, pre-existing characters cropping up that may or may not have some kind of bearing on things.

The story never really began, as it's a continuation of a previous story; it will never end, as it's a superhero comic. There are unanswered questions, and ties to nighttime and whatnot, but nothing genuinely scary to speak of. It’s interesting, because the immortality angle seems to work against this title, while I find it captivating in the X-Men titles now.
