While DC milked Batman Day to the fullest , Immortal Hulk's zero issue touched me to tears on the eve of the original new comic book day.
These re-prints are where Ang Lee got the idea for his '03 film from. This is where Ewing got a majority of his juice for his latest killer run that has cemented the Hulk as a do-no-wrong title in recent comic book history.
Mike Mignola takes his Hellboy chops to pen the creepiest childhood visages that surround young Bruce Banner's abused past. And Peter David uses a chibli Stan Lee to help narrarate the murder of Bruce's father and the continuation of the generational curse of the Banner family of being deemed as madmen and monsters.

Damn that was sad...If Immortal Hulk is your first submersion into the Hulk world this is an essential read and one that will keep you interested each and every page.
Well done! Hulk was never a character I cared about or followed until Immortal so I only knew bits and pieces from other titles. These collected old issues are well worth it if you want the context. Art was great and Mattia de Lulis's connecting 10 pages are excellent.
This was a really well done zero issue. I think both issues collected are some of the most important issues of Hulk ever, and they paint a very crazy picture that I'm sure, given Immortal Hulk's popularity, some segment of the readerbase was unaware of. There's a bit of age in these issues, but overall, they still hold up very well. If you've never read these, this is the perfect way to get them.
I’m not a fan of the older style of writing, but I was interested throughout, and glad to learn these things.
A really cool idea that was well done with the new and old stuff. I was very new to hulk at issue one of this series so even though this was mainly reprints it really actually gelt like an extension to this series and gave me a lot of insight to things that happened in the past.
There are fantastic new framing scenes, but this is still a reprint and that pulls my rating down. Not too far, because these are key Hulk stories with a clear influence on the present volume. Plus, this is the first time Peter David's #-1 has been put on Marvel Unlimited.
8 new pages and new cover. That's all the original content from this issue... Imagine spending 5 bucks on that, lol. Yeah, the -1 issue wasn't even reprinted, as it seems, but still...
Well, all this was only to show how Leader possessed Bruce's father. That's it. Totally unnecessary flashbacks. The art was awesome, just awesome 10/10, I would even want to see that in the actual Immortal Hulk. But the story is nothing. These reprinted comics on their own are cool. TIH #312 is a great backstory for the character and -1... Well... Was pretty much the same, but that was meant to be a flashback event, so now we see the flashback of the flashback... Meh.
This really should be free, like some FCBD or I dunno, but as a real t more
