This series is still bonkers! The horror is off the chart. Hulk faces his biggest challenge, but gets help from a close ally from his past. This is probably the best series that Marvel is putting out now.
I have no idea what I just read. I need to go back and refresh on some of the supernatural elements of what is going on with this green door. This is a horror comic though. It's brutal. I'll probably keep reading out of morbid curiosity.
This volume is insane.
Rick Jones' body has been exhumed and the Hulk is looking for it. Too bad he's walking right into a trap...Immortal Hulk: Abomination collects Hulk #16-20 and it's pretty damn spectacular.Someone steals Rick Jones' body for nefarious purposes. It turns out they're planning on using it as a weapon against the Hulk. Fortunately, the Hulk and Doc Samson have other plans, plans that involve gore and mass destruction. Throw in one Betty Ross-Banner and it's like throwing matches into a powder keg.As
At this point with Immortal Hulk, I'm just along for the ride. In Abomination, the big guy has a great fight with Bushwhacker, the liquid metal cyborg dude. Hulk also exhibits yet another long-forgotten personality (Joe Fixit??) that's fun, but baffling. Really, this whole series is baffling. Maybe it makes sense if you've read every prior Hulk book? The art is great and sometimes gross and the few moments that make sense are intriguing. I'll keep reading, but I'm not as rabid a fan as everyone
God, Immortal Hulk is good. These five issues bring the Hulk back into battle with Shadow Base and General Fortean, with their newest weapon, a rejuvenated Abomination, leading the charge. Meanwhile, Betty Ross reappears, and Rick Jones finds himself at the heart of yet another Hulk crisis despite being totally and 100% dead.Al Ewing can do no wrong with this book, I don't think. Each issue is introspective and offers interesting looks at the very idea of the Hulk, while also furthering the plot...
I've been pretty amazed with the previous volumes of this Hulk run and this one doesn't let me down either.Just think, from a pure horror bash, we've got the Immortal Hulk, complete with getting his heart torn out and eaten by Harpy, his poor wife Betty, while in the middle of a fight with a totally dead Jones who has been turned into the lovecraftian nightmare Abomination. Creature Feature!But this is not just an amazingly f**ked up emotional roller coaster fight scene (or three). This is deepl...
This outing is an improvement over the last as Ewing plays around with the many alters of Banner and those closest to him. It's basically just one long gory and gross fight scene but has some fun and imaginative twists.
This book just gets better and better... Seriously chilling stuff, with enough body-horror to delight any Clive Barker fan. It wears its influences on its sleeve but it all comes together as a potent, original mix. I’m loving it.
Bennett dials up the body horror mixing in some HR Giger elements into the new Abomination's design. I like how Ewing is incorporating elements from long ago in Peter David's run into this one, bringing characters like the Harpy back along with old Daredevil villains like Bushwacker. I like how he's giving fresh takes on old characters. It reminds me quite a bit of Swamp Thing. Joe Bennett is so much better at drawing horror than superheroes.
This has been a lot of fun so far. The re-imagined Abomination is pretty horrible.
Its Shadow base vs Hulk and its epic, first we have Samson and Hulk going to that site, the emergence of Joe fixit and Smason dying again and a fun face off with Bushwacker and then returning again to where Joe has been and Bruce trying to figure out his identities and then the coming of the Red harpy and her origin and finally the new Abomination and who it is is so awesome and its the final war between Shadow base and Hulk and only one will come on top! epic volume and just escalates the tensi...
I regret not catching up sooner to add Immortal Hulk to top 10 marvel books because goddamn is this good. Just when you think you know where this series is going it makes a hard right and heads in a new direction. Of course someone is after Banner, but this time that person gets real close. However, we bring out ANOTHER personality now? Who has returneD? On top of that we have a good old villain show up. From the title of this volume I'll leave it up to you to guess who. But let me tell you, thi...
The strongest volume of "Immortal Hulk" since the first one. With the themes and stakes firmly (if somewhat awkwardly) established in the previous volume, Ewing and Bennet are able to focus on the series' main strengths - namely, body horror, Philip K. Dick levels of paranoia, and big gross monsters knocking the crap out of each other. I especially like the way Ewing is developing Fortean as an antagonist, taking his authoritarian ideology seriously while not endorsing or condoning it.
Volume 4 continues to be on par with the previous volumes in Ewing's excellent Hulk run.These characters (not just Banner/Hulk) are all absolutely a perfect fit for the horror genre. It's one of those things that once you see it done well makes you wonder, why haven't they been doing this all along? It's almost impossible to imagine the character any other way now.Ok, that's probably an exaggeration, but I'm betting this goes down as one of the best Hulk titles ever written and someday becomes a...
Finally, series writer Al Ewing gets out of the art team’s way and gives them the space they clearly wanted and needed since this book began.This arc lives up to the promise of the book’s original premise (The Hulk meets classic EC horror) without falling prey to the over-written, pretentious, and self-serious mysticism of Ewing’s worst tendencies.This is pure, pulpy fun. I’d also strongly recommend that folks just jump straight to this volume and skip what came before it. So good!(Read in singl...
With Hulk, Harpy, Abomination, and a mess of soldiers all trying to kill each other, this felt like a classic creature feature. Think one of the 1960s' Godzilla movies where they throw Godzilla in with a heap of other monsters and have them all duke it out. The new Abomination also lives up to his name by being gruesome and disgusting rather than just an alligator guy, so that's a plus.
That “End the world” stuff, yeah, sounds like he’s in the business.
Wonderful mythos-building exercise by Al Ewing as he further delves into the complex powers of the Hulk as he introduces an Abomination and some horrifying action-packed sequences to make it all so damn fun.
The name of the volume refers to the fact that Hulk pal Rick Jones is back as the Abomination. And, points to Ewing, this is the only really abominable Abomination ever, a truly terrifying monster. Overall, this volume focuses on lots of different Hulk monsters, and although there's nice continuity, particularly based on some of the characters (like Rick), the parade of Gamma monsters could get old.The other big question in this volume is whether Bruce Banner is mortal. There's some great, tense...
