IMMORTAL HULK VOL. 1: OR IS HE BOTH?

Ever since this series was introduced I have been a fan of the premise and this run just keeps delivering. The storyline is terrific and the art work is excellent. The writer Al Ewing really does an excellent job of bringing the classic Hulk horror aspects back with a very unique twist. Add to the fact that my all-time favorite artist Alex Ross provides the covers of each issue and this is a hands-down winner of a series. So happy they are collecting it in graphic novel format; wish they'd keep the stories/issues together better than breaking them up into really small thin-paged works; I feel they could have have brought volumes I and II together as one book instead of these mealy ones but thats the money-hungry sales aspect of the corporate holders at Marvel, not the creators.

They took what everyone loves about the Hulk, a big green unstoppable destructive force, took away his dumbness and made him smart, but with a much darker and sadistic personality. Whereas Incredible Hulk might drop a rock on his enemy and exclaim "Hulk smash," the Immortal Hulk would tear their limbs off and bury them in a tomb they can never escape from right after getting a hole blown clear through his chest. Bad ass and surprisingly well-written, with great art to back it all up. Good stuff if you are a Hulk fan, giving him a more monstrous almost anti-villain air.

Simply amazing! Or is that incredible? The writer really gets the classic horror feel to the early Hulk stories and does a great job. This is one of the best Hulk comic collections I've read in years & years. It's dark, moody, and suspenseful all at the same time! Plus, he even digs deep in to old school Hulk continuity without making things difficult to new readers. Love the inclusion of some of the shout outs to old Hulk minutiae like Del Fry & Jackie McGee (homages to the old TV show), Trime & Buscema, and the gamma irradiated characters from early on in PAD's classic run. I really cannot wait for the next volume.

I like Hulk as a monster, especially coupled with excellent art by Joe Bennett. This one is pretty much a horror comicbook. Bruce Banner is an man presumed dead wandering the country in search of answers. And at night the monster comes out and is much more insistent in asking the questions. We're constantly reminded of a mysterious Green Door that is both a source of Hulk coming back to life and something much more sinister. So far the premise is good and this Hulk makes me think about no other than Solomon Grundy, one of his more intelligent versions.

The media could not be loaded. Great comic book! Only thing I did not like was the packaging, they did not bag and board it, just through it inside a Amazon bag with my other item I'd ordered. Besides that, Hulk Rules ! 💪👊💚

A dark, paranoid take on the green giant with fantastic art and a host of new concepts that seem to associate the Hulk with the occult. This is not only the best Hulk I've ever read, it's definitely one of the best new Marvel comics out today. A really original and fascinating read, highly recommended!

Immortal Hulk is truly fantastic, at first, I didn’t know how to feel about it. It’s intriguing, but it’s definitely weird. Upon a second read of this volume, I realized how amazingly crafted it truly is. It’s Hulk in all the right horrifying ways. Between this, Venom, and other current Marvel series. We’re in a renaissance of horror comics, as well as just a marvel renaissance in general. Start reading this series now, and if you can, try to purchase the original first printings as well. This run WILL go down as an all time classic.

A new run for the Hulk on the scary side with a great understanding of the character and a lot to look forward to in the next issues...

Can't wait for the rest.

It was as expected and very exciting. It came new and my son had a wonderful time.

O HULK encontra sua melhor versão. A série mostra um HULK assustador, que vai muito além do que ele era no original, quando também era um monstro. Agora, além do enorme poder, o personagem mostra uma crueldade inimaginável em qualquer outra época. Na verdade, a rigor, nesta série, ele não é um heroi, muito longe disso. Mas o ritmo da trama, os desdobramentos e a arte de Joe Bennet casam perfeitamente. Compre, leia, se emocione e guarde, pois esta fase será lembrada por décadas.

The saga of Banner continues in a way that isn't a rehash or an excuse to resuscitate hulk but a real redirection of the tale of the monster as The Monster, the primordial evil. Loved the JungiAn references and mythological ones as well.

This was one of the best books that I have read this year, I have to confess here I've never been a fan of the Hulk but what Al Ewing did with this take on the character was amazing. I like the hulk here being cunning, intelligent and violent, he actually had a humanistic speech which I really like "HULK SMASH" can get tiring. The writer managed to bring the character back to his roots, through the years I would hear what marvel were doing the hulk (multiple hulks????) and I didn't like it. This run is similar to the 80s tv series staring Bill Bixby if you saw that show they explored the dark psyche of both Bruce and the Hulk. Bruce Banner is that show was on the run most of the time Al Ewing does something similar although Banner in this comic uses the power to fight for justice. Al Ewing gives both Banner and the Hulk different voices so when you are reading this don't worry about both of them being similar.Al Ewing makes Bruce smart and intelligent though due to what happened to him in Civil War II he seems much more moody and distant. The Hulk on the other hand feels more like anti-hero, in the first issue he really hurts the guy who robbed the petrol store. When you see the Hulks face, just as he is about to hurt the robber you literally feel the terror in the guy. Check out those panels in the first issue you'll see what I mean. Mr. Joe Bennet's artwork is incredible here full of fun visuals and incredible cinematic action, I'm only familiar with his artwork in Spider-Man but in Hulk he really stepped up. All characters look clear and crisp. Joe Bennet draws a terrifying Hulk, heck he doesn't even look like a hero but more of a monster. Great job Marvel you have another hit on your hands!
