”Where the green shadow falls, life ends, in terror and in pain...” And just like that, Ewing’s twisted rumination on death and Hell marks it’s inevitable transformation from Tales from the Crypt-esque spookiness to full on Lovecraftian cosmic horror.

Yo, what the fuck of the fuck? Seriously, this series is just spazzing out. First we have this crazy ass guy finally flip and use the abomination to create a new villain in himself. But before that he does some hunting to take down all of Hulks "friends". Then after that the Hulk goes face to face with the beast but this time the guy is ready for him. Issue 25 though? What in the world? This is the most insane comic Hulk has ever been in. I'll be honest, I didn't love issue 25 cause I didn't und...

I thought the last issue with the World Breaker space shit was kind of stupid, but I'm trusting that Ewing will take it somewhere cool. However, the other issues were good.I liked the way it ended even if I was a bit bored by the general telling (yet another) Why I Hate the Hulk story.I also thought the art was iffy in that 1st issue. I'm just not crazy about that blocky stuff, and between that and the bland wah, wah, wah of General Fortean droning on about his perceived injuries, I just did...

Another stellar volume of Al Ewing & Co.'s Immortal Hulk. The first half of the book deals with the Hulk posse's final(?) confrontation with General Fortean and Shadow Base and sets up a new status quo for the book. It's great, horrific stuff and I loved every minute of it.The second half of the book is a very different beast. Jumping into the distant future, it takes the concept of the book, and another concept that has been part of the Hulk's psyche for many decades, to its ultimate conclusion...

The first few issues feature a lot of action and body horror, so if you liked the previous volumes, there will be a lot for you to enjoy here. The final issue in the collection goes way out into left field as it focuses on a cosmic Hulk in the far future. The story is written from the point of view of a bizarre alien, so it's written in a way that is difficult (boring?) to read. I'm sure that story makes more sense after reading the issues after it, but since Marvel refuses to plan their stories...

This series still finds ways to gross me out with body horror, and amaze me with plot.Also, that 25th issue was strange but a welcome change of pace from the series.

Hulk has always been big and mean, but with the "Tales from the Crypt" angle they have been taking this series, you can add creepy and horrifying to the list (and I'm loving it!).

Well that took a turn upwards! This volume went full on 100% crazy, and I loved it!

Here, finally, I can see that excellent Immortal Hulk series all the other reviewers have been clamoring about. After many volumes spent dancing around each other (and having some trippy dealings with the devil and a green door), General Fortean and the Hulk meet in a clash of fists and brains. The good general has bonded with an alien armor shell - the Hulk has found a team of allies. The remaining members of Alpha Flight are also along for the ride. The action is stunning, the pacing superb, t...

It seems every volume I read of this, there's at least one moment where I say to myself with delicious glee "oh gross!" Some of the main plot threads are resolved here and definitely sets up a new status quo with a pretty good cliffhanger.Couple "bad" things though. The artist changed. Not quite as good, but not that bad either. The volume ends with a very ambiguous, out of this world, mythological story about the Hulk. It's barely discernible and just what is means is open to interpretation. Th...

Immortal Hulk: Breaker of Worlds collects Immortal Hulk #21-25.Here we are, volume five of the best Marvel comic going today. The Immortal Hulk, Red She Hulk, Doc Samson, the Absorbing Man, Titania, and what's left of Gamma Flight go up against General Fortean for the last time for the foreseeable future. It's just as big of a smackdown as you would imagine.I cannot stress how good this comic is. It combines great super hero action with some philosophical concepts, reminding me of Alan Moore's S...

Wow. I'm LOVING this. The Hulk is SO DARK now. Shaping up to be one hell of a grand villain. I mean, the whole fight against the new Abomination was great and the whole developed sequence of Banner's many personalities coming out like this is a real treat, but when push comes to shove, this whole storyline is DARK. Deliciously dark. Like chortling in a pitch black room by yourself dark.Some great gross bits, some truly wicked nightmare bits, and enough impressions and hints to make anyone in the...

After skulking in the shadows for 20 issues, it’s time for a full-on confrontation between the Immortal Hulk and General Fortean’s Shadow Base. Of course, where the Hulk’s concerned, nothing is ever that straight forward, right?It’s really not. Al Ewing’s Hulk story continues at a breakneck pace, finally smashing (see what I did there) his action figures together and then picks up the pieces. With the fallout from Abomination behind them, Breaker of Worlds sets the stage for the confrontation, w...

Prior to reading Immortal Hulk, Volume 1: Or is he Both? I never really paid the Hulk comics any attention. I was fairly well acquainted with the origin story, knew most of the key players, had watched the Bill Bixby/Lou Ferigno series, but... never read anything.Oh my stars and garters, was I missing out.This volume capped off the first full story arc, ending with a view of the story to come. The carnage and gore in this issue was grotesque, and for a split second, you ALMOST are rooting for Ge...

The main story in this book is great. General Fortean finally goes off the deep end, bonding with a Jeepers Creepers looking alien armor. It ultimately leads to a final confrontation between Hulk and his Gamma related friends versus Shadow Base. It's all fantastic. I love how Bennett and Ewing have transformed Betty and Rick Jones into these monsterized versions of themselves. The way Hulk's personalities interact with one another works wonderfully as well. Al Ewing is certainly channelling Alan...

The final battle between Hulk and Shadow base is here, first General fortean becomes the new Abomination and the whole backstory is intriguing and then finally its Hulk vs them and the battle is good and we see some real body horror, twisted speeches and the monstrosity that is this Gamma monster and then finally a tale in the far future where the one below all/Hulk has become the new destroyer of worlds and he is consuming a planet, that one was bad..but apart from it overall its good and offer...

This volume made zero sense. Wtf is going on. This series is mental. Grant Morrison eat your heart out ~ literally!Someone explain to me how Hulk turned into a hulk so big he could punch a planet and what planet was it?!

Pretty amazing for one team to stay together for such a long run on a title. This reads like the conclusion (?) of this particular story arc, with a final issue that jumps ahead billions of years into the future, where the Hulk has become the new Galactus, or "Breaker of Worlds." The artwork is strong throughout. I just wish a few more of the story beats had landed as intended--this seems just a bit rushed.

For a Hulk title, there is precious little actual Hulk.
