Joe Bennett will be back next issue
The war with the Minotaur is over — and a grateful humanity knows who saved them all. Can Shadow Base come out of the shadows? Can the world believe in Bruce Banner? Can there be a happy ending... for the IMMORTAL HULK?
If you've been enjoying Ewing's run on this book, so far, this issue isn't going to change your mind. Hes taken the last couple of chapters to slow down a bit, but it feels more like the calm before the storm than any kind of real lull in the story. Especially, given the Leaders arrival, and the big ending to this issue. This title is a high recommendation for any Marvel fan, and its easily one of the best series of the last decade, so do yourself a favor and start picking up the trades if you haven't already.

These comics only improve with every issue, and it's hard to find flaws in The Immortal Hulk #35. Read Full Review
Back into the main story with Immortal Hulk #35, and once more we are reminded that the work Banner is trying to accomplish is easier said than done. There's nothing more dangerous than an enemy right under your nose. Unfortunate that this is something which Banner and friends are going to have to find out the hard way. Read Full Review
Hawthorne's art becomes an afterthought to such a strong story. But that doesn't mean that the art in this issue is lacking. It's good, but the tale that Ewing is weaving is center stage. I don't mean to downplay the hard work of the art team here, but this is just window dressing to the masterpiece that the writer is crafting with this stellar cast of characters. As long as Ewing is in the zone like this, they can't go wrong. Read Full Review
Overall, this issue was merely a change of pace to catch readers up and provide a jumping-on point for anyone interested in riding the IMMORTAL HULK wave through to the end. As usual, Ewing nails the multiple personalities within the Hulk and provides a vividly entertaining tale that leaves me wanting more each week. Read Full Review
Mike Hawthorns does a great job with the art in the issue. There's not a lot of big action to be had, but Hawthorne manages to add some dramatic visual moments throughout and they all work with the tone of the story. Read Full Review
The dust settles after a hard-fought battle with Roxxon. Things seem unusually calm in a nice change of pace, but trouble is surely looming. If you still haven't started reading this series, this is a great time to jump in. Read Full Review
It's apparent that there are no figures who exist for the sake of plot, and that makes it easy to lose yourself even in an issue that is primarily focused on after-action debriefings. Read Full Review
Amazing! can't wait to see what happened!
So. That happened. Damn.
This is still so good. I want more.
Hawthorne has been the best guest artist by far
While Bruce struggles to free the Devil Hulk again, Savage Hulk gets a day in the sun as the world credits him with defeating Xemnu and Roxxon. The Leader won't let him have anything close to a full issue of happiness, though, striking in the final scene. This adroit change of pace is well-written, and the shift to more stereotypical top-shelf superhero art suits the tone perfectly.
This is a deceptively peaceful issue. Everything on the surface seems calm. The art helps tremendously with that. But nothing good is happening, and things are getting worse, and that ending is where it all explodes.
Just when things slow down to build up the layers and the tensions then they get real messed up real fast. Hawthorne is fantastic especially when Morales inks him. The dramatic scenes and faces were well done. Mounts coloring keeps that consistency of hues there even if Bennet isn't on pencils duty.
Admittedly did not enjoy the art at first, the characters looked like cheap clay, but it grew on me; not to mention it complemented the tone of the entire issue. AND THAT ENDING. I also loved how painfully ironic it was that Bruce saw Betty as a monster considering the context of their relationship. However, I see this as an interesting character flaw rather than a poor story telling decision.
I liked this issue a lot, it had some good tension going on.
A really good issue. Love the underlying chaos and sadness. Still miss Joe Bennett though.
" That... Is an expression of your anger. Your hate. The worst most evil parts of you. It's a monster i am speaking to a monster ! A créature of rage ! And i want to see the Women i love !"
- BRUCE BANNER
Another guest artist... Not a bad one, but still, I want some consistency... By the way, the Leader is peader...
Very good issue.
A really good issue that I thought was well done and the ending just set off a whole new problem.
I liked the Domestic argument but found the issue unusually stale for the series.
