Horrific action to your very bones with complex mysteries that keeps the reader wanting for more! Read Full Review
Overall, this issue doesnt have a sour note. If youve been reading this book, you know this is what been building to for a while. Ewing definitely seems to be coming up on a milestone for the title, but he also appears to be nowhere near slowing down or running out of ideas. This is one of Marvels best books out right now, and if youve been sleeping on it, you should take some time to catch up. It is, without a doubt, history in the making. Read Full Review
Immortal Hulk is horror at an epic scale. It's like the Universal monsters mixed with Godzilla fighting it out in radiation-fueled madness. It has all the awesome action of a blockbuster movie coupled with some of the most unsettling imagery on comic stands today. This book delivers on multiple fronts and never, ever disappoints.

Perhaps what's most impressive in The Immortal Hulk #23 is that, despite being a seemingly perfect issue of superhero action and horror, it still promises #24 will be even more impressive. I can't wait. Read Full Review
Joe Bennett goes for the jugular visually in this issue. There are some intense body horror moments throughout and the final page is both beautiful and visceral. Read Full Review
There is so much more to talk about. Ewing keeps the mystery going and the mind wondering "What's next?" for this eerie tale. The Immortal Hulk is one of those books that opens up a character's world to places that you never thought it could go and it's fascinating to read just how far this journey will go. Read Full Review
Immortal Hulk #23 serves up a beast of a Round One in this climactic fight issue. It pushes the envelope even more than usual, tap-dancing on the line between moving horror and Grand Guignol gore. Though a few steps go over the edge, the overall dance remains engrossing and, as ever, gorgeously illustrated. We couldn't possibly look away. Read Full Review
Immortal Hulk #23 so far is everything you could have wanted from these two forces clashing. It has all come down to this moment, and even now this creative team has not failed to throw surprises at us. When playing for keeps like this? You can bet that a couple of things will turn your stomach to make the point that this isn't your average hero versus villain scenario. Read Full Review
Ewing takes the opportunity to elevate some of the lesser-known characters in his narrative while unleashing a monstrous battle between some of the biggest Gamma giants in comics today. While the issue doesnt progress the series any further, the comic was still a fun read that showcased this extremely talented art team led by the outstanding Joe Bennett. If youve been following along to this point, this reviewer would tell you to continue to pick this issue up. However, the series has felt like it has slowed down a bit too much as of late. Heres to hoping readers get an epic reveal next issue before the series begins to stall out. Read Full Review
The Immortal Hulk #23 could have been your average action issue, but does a great job at giving a human element as Al Ewing gets to further develop his new cast member to the Hulk mythos. Read Full Review
How is this always so good?
'Nuff said!
As good as it gets!
Great as always.
Great fight scene and the slower moments progress the story in a way that makes them just as show stopping as Hulk ripping off his face. A scene I will long remember!
Hulk and friends get tore into the action at Shadow Base. Hulk's share of combat is absolutely over-the-top in terms of gore and body horror, but the part that REALLY captures my attention is the sneaky side-plot. Eventful, captivating, and it's got a high body count -- and yet, this is an "act 2" issue that may well fade when compared to the subsequent climax.
That last panne. OMG
Immortal Hulk continues to be one of the best comic books out.
THE GOOD:
-This was a crazy issue, an awesome issue and a crazy awesome issue.
-Jackie was a really good narrator for this issue.
-Man, Joe Bennett is just finding his groove more and more with every issue. His art hasn't deteriorated like many artists on a long run, quite the opposite actually.
-Rick Jones is such a weirdly wonderful character here.
-The action was stellar here.
-This is body horror at its finest. Not since The Fly have we seen such a perfect example of the genre.
-I don't know how Al Ewing gets this stuff past Marvel with a T+ rating, but I congratulate him for it.
-That last page was utterly terrifying.
-I'm calling more
Just a great read! Very enjoyable and intriguing developments on the story front and fantastic art by Bennett and Co on the art. The Hulk has never looked better....or worse!
" Knock,knock. Who's there Rick. Ira. Ira who Rick ? Ira menber you. Doctor McGowan."
Fantastic character interactions and intruding buildup for the plot in the issue.
"A dime-store version of me"
Just when I thought the imagery in this book couldn't get any creepier I see the last page. Now I have to rethink my whole belief system.
As for the story.
I think it was a very smart move to show this issue from the perspective of Ms. McGee. She gives a fresh look at it, from an angle of a normal person. A person that is only able to stand by and watch the horrors and craziness that is happening around her. Yet she still manages to hold it together and tries to protect the scientists. Yeah, I like her.
Also, the Robocop reference was a nice touch.
It's becoming a bit formulaic with the body horror scenes. Also a bit light on progression. Still good though.
This series was the first Hulk Series I ever read. Its been fantastic. The art. The characters. The story. Theres not much bad you can say at all.
