The Immortal Hulk cuts deep. It shows a vulnerable side to the Hulk that is scarier than any of the chaos he's caused to date. Writer Al Ewing strikes right at the heart of the character, shaking him to the core. Bruce Banner has been keeping a low profile, but the events of this issue will be hard to keep under wraps. This is a stunning character study that never fails to deliver. Read Full Review

THE IMMORTAL HULK #5 proves to be yet another seriously stupendous issue in an already stellar run. Al Ewing outdoes himself this issue with the amount of pathos he pushes into the story. Joe Bennett's art is simply haunting. If you're a Hulk fan and haven't read this series yet, fix that immediately! Read Full Review

The art is, as usual, really well done, and I honestly can't imagine it looking any other way now. Al Ewing's writing just screams “Hulk Comic” and works for literally every character presented. If I were to ever recommend you read a Hulk comic, It would be this one! Al Ewing and the team have crafted a masterful horror story that not only call back to the origins of the character but takes us in a new direction that's turning out to be super fun. If you are reading Marvel stuff currently, do yourself a favor and pick this series (and this issue) up! Everything is just so well done that it just works. Read Full Review

For Banner and the Hulk, the situation has become personal, and the villain behind everything has already proven more haunting than the Hulk because of it. If anything, it shows that while the Hulk might be immortal, he's not invincible. Meanwhile, Mcgee finally reveals why she has been chasing the Hulk and that can lead to nowhere good. Another great issue of The Immortal Hulk proves that Ewing and Bennet have found success in trying something different. As the story moves forward I can't wait to see how the Hulk deals with a situation he can't punch himself out of. Read Full Review

Forget haunted houses this Halloween, just read this book instead. Read Full Review

The Hulk and Sasquatch have a slam-bang hospital-wrecking fight, which is glorious, and a shocking amount of character development happens organically along the way. The tone gets a little melodramatic (that's how literature nerds say "cheesy"), but I find it very forgivable thanks to the huge amount of fascinating information revealed about the characters and the story. This issue answers a lot of big questions and yet it flawlessly preserves the title's sense of mystery and horror - behind the big questions are yet more questions, even bigger.

This continues to be fantastic. An horror atmosphere, good plot twists and Hulk lore building, make this one of the best ongoing comic book series at the moment.

Awesome last page, was a little confused during the dialogue of Hulk and Sasquatch’s final battle

HOLY CRAP, THIS IS EXTRAORDINARY. I didn't write anything about this series, but this issue is absolutely fantastic. The art, the dialogues, the atmosphere... it's perfect. I really liked the previous issues already, but now I'm totally interested in the future of this.

The art feels a bit rushed in parts but glad to see this series is back on track.

THE GOOD:

-The end of that issue was just purely and utterly phenomenal in every single way possible. One of the best ends to any issue I have read in years.

-The script is great. Al Ewing is one of the most underrated Marvel writers currently. He's good with metaphors and other similar script elements, without being too heavy handed in them.

-Sasquatch is a very worthy villain for this series. He felt as if he posed a threat, without being too over-the-top, a hard-to-do thing in modern comics.

-That final battle scene was really good. Dramatic, tense and dark. It is what many movies' final fights aspire to be.

-Joe Bennet's art is good. I still feel there could be someone better for the series, but for now, Joe Bennet is doing a great job. He captures the tone very well.

THE BAD:

-My only problem with this issue is that I wish we had more exposition as to the reveal behind Sasquatch. Not a huge problem, but it would have made the story perfect. more

What scares the Hulk? Not Banner. We know what scares Banner. But the Hulk? What could possibly scare him?

But this is a horror story, and usually a good horror story isn't about our fears alone. It's about the fears of the characters. So Al Ewing looked into the Hulk's past and his present, and found the two things that scare him. And as a result this is both a great issue and a great stepping stone for what's to come.

I don't know what is scarier. The idea of two gamma-powered monsters rampaging through a hospital full of people or seeing a terrified look on Hulk's face? Just what can possibly scare him?

This book is an interesting blend. On one hand, you got hero fighting villain and on the other imagery straight from a horror in some panels. Sasquatch is looking truly frightening in this issue.
But the best thing about this one is a smart Hulk that talks in full sentences and works in tandem with Banner. It seems that the constant fight for control between them is over, and I love it.

Now we're rolling

Eh. That's my thoughts after reading this issue. Although the art was awesome, the tone was there and the action was intense, this took the supernatural theme the book had throughout and amped it up in this issue. I am not sure I like that direction. I don't mind a hint of it but, it seems seems like this book is about to go in a whole other direction. I'll have to be cautious going into the next few issues and hopefully it doesn't go off the rails. By the way, this is my opinion, so I do get some people might really enjoy this take on the character, it just necessarily wasn't what I was expecting and for that reason, it did not get a bad grade, just need to see where it leads.

strong down-turn this issue, both in art and writing.

from a base of 6, this gets a rating of: 5.
-1 because the dialog was just bad.
