The Immortal Hulk Omnibus

Product Information

This is by far the most talked about Marvel comic of the last five years, at least in all the circles I'm a part of. 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. By using the Web site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the Terms and Conditions. If you grew up on the 70s TV series then you’ll recognise much of the angst and loneliness that “being” Hulk means. 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.

I picked it up because I’ve liked everything else by Al Ewing that I’ve read, and I heard really great things about it. Next to the fact that Banner is (mostly) in control by day and Hulk by night, Banner moves from town to town like a vagabond, fleeing the destruction Hulk leaves behind.of who’s behind it all kind of makes a hash of their motivations, or lack thereof, earlier in the story.

The Jones era is the one that embedded the TV show idea of Banner walking the Earth in a baseball cap, avoiding eye contact, as his iconic comics schtick. And he is being hunted: by the government, by Alpha Flight, by the mysterious Shadow Base, even by the Avengers! A horror story in which Banner turns into the Hulk at night and has no control over his transformations, these 15 issues (oddly bundled with an incomprehensible issue of the Avengers that tells half a story in which the Hulk is the villain) are a fantastic read.It’s a bit shit that you can charge umpty-ump dollars for a comic and still ruin some of the images). There are strong vibes of Alan Moore's initial run on "swamp thing" where he cleans the slate before doing what he wants. At Books2Door, we believe that reading is a fundamental skill that every child should have to help improve their vocabulary, grammar, and critical thinking skills. I'd describe it as being like the X-Files' "Monster of the Week" era where we've got a general premise, but each episode stands alone. This book runs the gamut from body horror to psychological horror to intimate existential horror to sheer Lovecraftian madness, all while plumbing the conceptual depths of what exactly the Hulk actually IS.

His (temporary) redesign of the Absorbing Man is one that readers of the book will never forget, as is his hand-face Abomination, finally living up to his name. Lots of references to past history of the hulk or characters or superhero teams I didn’t recognize or couldn’t contextualize. There are unanswered questions, and ties to nighttime and whatnot, but nothing genuinely scary to speak of. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Maybe it’s because I haven’t read a Hulk book before, and I’m not super informed on his lore (or the Avengers).And once that’s done, once you’re told outright that what you are looking at is religious symbolism about Man’s place in the universe, and then you realise that you’re actually looking at a big dumb green monster who sells underpants and lunchboxes to kids and the monster is shouting at God "Why Hulk hurt? So it turns out the One-Below-All is just God Himself in a snake costume, fine, that’s not unheard-of as a piece of theology. Which kinda sucks but the narrative is so strong that you don't necessarily have to know everyone and everything. This reminds me a lot of the New 52 Swamp Thing and Animal Man, particularly the faux-Lovecraftian hell dimension stuff, which isn’t a good thing.
