i'll do you one better: almost 20 issues and not even a average one yet.
• Something is coming for Bruce Banner. Something that can smell him wherever he hides. Something that will never stop hunting.
• It wears the face of a friend - but all it feels is hate and hunger, burning in the core of every cell.
• Ask yourself...what's more terrifying than the IMMORTAL HULK?
Rated T+
Monstrosity and humanity are present throughout the cast, both those who appear terrifying and those who are all too human, and that makes the continued investigation of these questions awe-inspiring. Read Full Review
Immortal Hulk #19 is an absolutely harrowing issue that shows us the monster inside isn't always the worst part of us, but that sometimes the most horrifying damage can be inflicted by those close to our hearts. Read Full Review
If you're a Hulk fan, and you haven't been picking up this book, this might be the one to start with. Yes, it's in the middle of a story, but it can't be beaten for sheer insane storytelling and visuals. Read Full Review
Don't even get me started on the last panel/page of the book. It is the most unsettling imagery I have seen from the series so far. It just feels like Bennett's talents were made for this story. Read Full Review
The Immortal Hulk continues its impossible streak of chaining together brilliant issues one after the other. #19 is a terrible, triumphant dance that tramples the line between heroes and monsters. It delivers meaning and spectacle aplenty, but it teases the reader ever onward with the promise of even more to come. Read Full Review
THE IMMORTAL HULK #19 is the most heartbreaking issue of the series. It delves deep into Betty Ross' wounded psyche. Al Ewing crafts one of the most beautifully tragic books in Hulk history. Joe Bennett draws the Red Harpy with so much rage and sadness, it's haunting to look at her. Read Full Review
If you can read, do yourself a favour and pick up this book. If you can't read though... Then everything here looks like gibberish to you. Read Full Review
Joe Bennett's art is sublime. It is a beautiful mixture of comic book action and visceral horror. The last few pages are shockingly brutal and beautiful. Read Full Review
Ewing and his team continue to push this story forward by throwing out the most insane, monstrous battles with some of the most vicious and repulsive creatures in the Marvel Universe. Read Full Review
Something did come, and it definitely did wear the face of a friend. We may not know what the hell happened when this friend found her target, or even who her true target is, but it was all chilling. Immortal Hulk #19 continued to genuinely shake up what you define as a monster. If you ever thought the Hulk was up there as the stuff of nightmares, this story continues to prove you wrong time after time. Read Full Review
"Immortal Hulk" barrels towards a conclusion with a deft exploration of what it is that makes these creatures "monsters" in our eyes and why that may not be the case. Read Full Review
An action-packed, horror-filled look at the darkest parts of Betty Ross's relationships. Read Full Review
A perfect comic, aside from the fact that it might stand well on its own (ie if you didn’t read 15-18)
This is so disturbing hahaha
Most horror this series has had yet. The damage Hulk takes at the hands of Abomination was just nasty. Seeing what Betty has become was badass. Her killing spree for me was the highlight of this issue. Seeing hulk cry for help was a close second but it's the way Bennet portrayed Betty and those talons ripping off heads it took me by surprise, so hellish this comic truly is horror.
The Abomination/Hulk fight forms the background for Betty's full arrival in the story. It's a special sort of nightmare, even by this title's highly-refined standards. It is fire and fury and shame and pride, and it rockets instantly to the top of the list of "all-time greatest Harpy comics." The words are as subtle and effective as the visuals; while the latter lay bare anatomical horrors, the former slice into Betty's psyche like instruments of torture. A fearsomely, shiveringly, keep-you-up-at-night good comic.
What the fuck
Well jeez.
Perfectly executed
Just when I thought this Series couldn't get any more weirder.
MIND BLOWN ONCE AGAIN
I don't give 10s haphazardly. So when I say this is a 10.....it's a fracking 10!
"This Me."
"I will eat his heart in the market place."
"If i am hard and sharp and raw. If i am bloody. If i am vengeful. If i am to you a monster. Them i am proprer fit in this world."
"The butterfly can't get free without breaking the Web."
Holy shit!
Sweet Jesus on a pogo stick...
The feeling of fear and horror that this book gives the reader is unlike anything I've read before. Def one of if not the best book on the shelves right now
Damn.
Just damn.
one of the best books out currently and consistently, almost 20 issues and not a bad one yet
Perfect horror
Another just about perfect issue! 10/10!
If you don't like this, you have no taste.
This issue is a work of art.
That is TRULY disturbing...
This was great. I'm really excited for the next issue after what happened to the Hulk.
"I am not"
I've been reading this one since issue one, so I like to think that I am pretty used to disturbing imagery Joe Bennet is serving with every issue.
Yet seeing Hulk like this, defeated and helpless, was really something. And what Betty/Harpy did to him was truly unexpected.
I like what Al Ewing did with her. She's intelligent, vicious and compassionate(?). And her design is just breathtaking (You're breathtaking!). Awesome job.
One more thing and it's something I can't help. Every time I look at this new Abomination I think about Boris The Animal from the Men In Black movie. Every time.
IMMORTAL HULK # 19 is the first time the short, 2-week interval between issues has affected the book, detrimentally: the art is uneven and the story is unfocused.
The inkers aren't on the same page, which gives this issue an uneven, rushed quality to it. Although the Betty-Harpy sequence is fairly consistent, this should have been a book primarily about The ABOMINATION versus The Immortal Hulk. The Alex Ross-cover has The ABOMINATION on it. The fight promised to be epic. And it should have been shown.
Moreover, the tight pacing and plotting that has characterized this series up to this point is starting to disappear, as if the direction and focus of this story-line is being tampered with. The inclusion of McGee and Betty-Harpy see more
