• Bruce Banner is trapped inside Shadow Base Site A - powerless and hunted by their top assassin.
• He can't run forever. He can't change form. He can't survive...without THE IMMORTAL HULK.
• But not the one you think.
Rated T+
THE IMMORTAL HULK #18 is a perfect comic book. It tells an engrossing story, includes top-notch character development, and has absolutely stupendous artwork. Al Ewing, Joe Bennett, and co. deserve all the accolades they're getting. Read Full Review
Immortal Hulk remains a steamroller of a superhero comic, and it seems that #19 will only make it all the more powerful and fear-inducing. Read Full Review
If youre not already reading this book (and the sales indicate that many people are), then youre missing out on a modern classic in the making. Not since the days of David and Pak has the Hulk been portrayed so pitch perfectly. This is a run for the longtime Hulk fans who have been hoping for a return to glory for the character, and it genuinely does seem like Ewing is just getting started. Read Full Review
The Immortal Hulk freaks me out in the best way. It's terrifically paced and scary through and through. You go through quiet and tense moments where you'll be nervous about turning the page and then you'll get all out monster-on-monster battles that are like smaller versions of Godzilla movies. This is everything I want from a comic and it is consistently one of the best books on the stands today. Damn, is it good. Read Full Review
Hulk fan or no Hulk fan, this is a book everyone should be reading, making the Hulk a true monster in the best sense of the word and defying expectations across the board. Read Full Review
If you aren't reading IMMORTAL HULK, you're missing out. Pick it up and put it on your pull list immediately. You won't be disappointed. Read Full Review
Joe Bennett delivers some incredible and detailed art throughout this issue. He frames many of the pages to increase the tension and sense of foreboding. An amazing looking issue. Read Full Review
Immortal Hulk #18 was a wild ride. Overall there was a lot of clarity given to who is controlling what part of Bruce and Hulk, and revelations found in what enemies have been plotting in the background. Right now this creative team is setting the right mood to really question what kind of monster is the worst. The one that is right in front of you? The one who you underestimate? Or is it the one who has been lurking in the shadows for years? Only time will tell, but we are all invested to find out for better or for worse! Read Full Review
Managing to be both a horror book and stunning deconstruction of the Hulk mythos, Immortal Hulk #18 continues to play to the series' strengths. Read Full Review
In a way, Banner himself is evolving as well. The relationship between Banner and Hulk is growing closer, but Banner is relying less on the Hulk's "protection." Clearly, he and the "Devil Hulk" have something planned. Whatever develops, I feel like Ewing is going to drop a bomb on us that will blow our minds. He continues to up his game on the horrifying, unnatural and awe-inspiring aspects of this book. Ewing's not only out to reinvent the Hulk, but the whole Hulk mythos. Read Full Review
An exercise in necessity (and that's not just a clever metatextual play on this issues' subtitle). This is an issue with a lot of meat on its bones. There's exposition, development, action, chills, terrors, and a whole lot of things that go bump in the night. It is story delivered inside spine-tingling spectacle and it's another must-read issue of Marvel's best title. Read Full Review
With sales figures, awards nominations, and nigh-universal acclaim verifying their storytelling talent, the creators of the Immortal Hulk forge confidently ahead with a delightful dose of long-form storytelling. #18 fascinates even though the big fights and twists are largely restricted to foreshadowing. The creators believe their story is compelling enough to keep readers riveted even in its quieter moments. They're absolutely right. Read Full Review
A gripping tale that shows readers there's a monster hidden inside all of us that's waiting to be unleashed. Read Full Review
Can't decide which was more insane. Betty or Abomination. One of the best issues in the series with the reintroduction of some truly horrific characters
Ugh this comic is so perfect.
Best book on the shelf and not slowing down, the new “villain” spoilers so I won’t say what, is fuckjn amazing!
When someone who doesn't read comics says they're "for kids", you show them Immortal Hulk.
Abomination is legitimately horrifying.
Wow, just wow.
Can't wait what will come next. This comic is truly a masterpiece.
Well, this is really messed up.
Gamma Flight is queuing up to become a very interesting foil to the Hulk, particularly with Titania raising the point that "good guys" can be even more destructive than bad guys when they get hung up on "regrettable necessities." This issue's allotment of action is brief but in no way disappointing; wall-to-wall terrific visuals sure help.
The comic for your inner Cronenberg.
It's not like many different things happened here, but it's really nice to read. I hope they kept at least that level of quality.
That ending...
THE GOOD:
-The art is just. so. good.
-I'm really liking what they're doing with the different Hulk personas. I think that they can take this to really interesting places.
-Oh, poor Betty.
-Abomination is just terrifying. There's nothing else to say about it.
-This comic is just the perfect horror comic. From the creeping sense of dread that always follows this series to the disturbingly detailed body horror, it just excels at one of my favorite genres.
THE BAD:
-I'm not sure how I feel about Hulk's plan to end the world. I guess I'll have to see more. For now, it's one of the least interesting plot lines, however.
"Maybe yours is"
It's because of books like this one, that I am starting to expect much more from my comic books. How can this title be so consistently so good? Seriously, how?
