Now, as a single issue, this may not be as action-packed and graphic as were used to seeing. Nevertheless, to all those invested in this series, there has developed so much more than the HULK and I for one, like Lover Boy, am loving every minute of it. Read Full Review

All of the artists bring great imagery to the issue. The story is dark and each artist perfectly captures the mood and tone with their art. Read Full Review
By the end of Immortal Hulk #42, there's some big changes to prepare for in the new year. Just when you think you have seen everything, still this creative team tells you you haven't seen everything yet. Read Full Review
Immortal Hulk #42 is a wordy comic, packed with momentous conversations. Strong writing keeps us interested in everything that's said, and a large team of guest artists adds visual novelty to the multiple stories that are being told. Although this issue is short on superheroic action, it doesn't come close to disappointing. The title's characters face a lot of challenges here, and good creative work ensures that we're deeply committed to seeing how they deal with them. Read Full Review
Yes, this is a middle chapter strung between greater things with more hands helping to move it out the door, but The Immortal Hulk #42 still manages to deliver a story that's all killer, no filler. Read Full Review
Overall, this just felt like a messy issue and at all in tone with the amazing previous issues. One of the many standout points of this series is the time the plot takes to marinate and develop so that when there are big reveals it lands with a massive amount of gravitas. Sadly, Immortal Hulk #42 suffers from too many contrasting art styles and a lack of balance within the plot. Not a great performance, but there are threads of story developing that could be taken somewhere in the future. Read Full Review
We see a bunch of disparate threads start tying into each other, and I have no idea where it's going, but I'm there for it. Also, that cover is so fucking good.
It's so hard to say where this issue will go. But am I excited for it.
I liked it a lot!

It feels like its starting to get to the home stretch of this run and this issue is kind of setting the players that have been in it so far into the endgame. At least it feels that way. Very well done.
Bit of a slower issue this week, but still enjoyable.
