• Bruce Banner is dead. His corpse has been dissected, his organs catalogued, and his inner workings are being studied by the scientists of Shadow Base.
• Bruce Banner is no longer a threat.
• That just leaves the IMMORTAL HULK...
Rated T+
Possibly the greatest body-horror superhero comic ever. This is what horror comics should be like when cast in a superhero comic book. Hulk is beyond intriguing and the possibilities seem limitless. Read Full Review
If youre not reading Hulk right now, and you claim to be any sort of fan of the character, youre doing yourself a disservice. This is the best the book has been since Peter David left. Dont let the horror/immortal angle throw you off; this is a Hulk book for Hulk fans, written by a man who is obviously very familiar with Hulks history. Pick it up now, and youll be happy you did.

This is a stunning issue and yet another reminder of why Immortal Hulk is the definition of a comics must-read in 2018. Read Full Review
The Immortal Hulk is an absolutely twisted comic that injects all kinds of horror right into the Marvel Universe. This issue raises it to new heights. It puts the character in a whole new light, showing him for the monster he can be and the tortured man that's forced to live with it. The Hulk is as terrifying as he is awesome. Read Full Review
THE IMMORTAL HULK #8 is the scariest issue of an already terrifying series. Al Ewing crafts a terrifically chilling story which works just as well on its own as it does as the part of an ongoing story. Joe Bennett gives his all this issue, and it shows. It's a perfect jumping-on point for this incredible new series. Read Full Review
However, Ewings continues to evolve his Hulk in ways that feel brand new and this chapter more than cement the Hulk's new status as immortal. This book has definitely become a favorite new series and I can't wait to see where it goes next. Read Full Review
Al Ewing and Joe Bennett continue to impress with The Immortal Hulk #8, pushing the horror envelope for Bruce Banner's adventures in a way that will likely linger with you for a good long time. The sheer challenge of the Hulk's situation feels almost insurmountable, but it's Ewing and Bennett's real triumph that they're able to weave together such a satisfying story while largely sidelining their central character. Self-contained but feeling no less important, The Immortal Hulk might be the scariest comic you'll read all week. Read Full Review
It's not the Hulk of Hulk-Busters, of raging against the unrelenting fear of normal people, of seeking acceptance in a world wrongly deeming it a destructive fiend, of child-like innocence or of simple unbridled rage. It's an unfathomable green boogeyman earning every shuddered gasp from humanity assembled. This story brought back childhood memories of early Hulk, imprisoned behind layers of steel while Rick Jones maintained a vigil outside. A misanthrope which promised vengeance and payback while reminding its captor that it never stops. Never tires. And that it's coming for you. Read Full Review

This issue was incredibly fun to read. The build up to the finale of this issue was paced really well. Read Full Review
A powerful, instigating script, paired with visuals that are horrifying and mesmerizing at the same time, "The Immortal Hulk" is some of Marvel's current best. Read Full Review
Immortal Hulk is one of the best Marvel titles from their previous relaunch and a must have masterpiece! Read Full Review
Another Great issue in this dark, but interesting series. Read Full Review
Joe Bennett continues to show why hes a great get for this book with his ability to communicate the physical and more abstract ideas of horror Immortal Hulk continues to offer. Ruy Joses inking helps to sell the terrible transformations undergone in this issue too, along with Paul Mountss sickly lighting. While Immortal Hulk has been a slow burn, its one where the revelations of this issue are well-earned. There really is no other comic like it in the market, and frankly thats for the best.

Ewing and Bennett continue to bring the horror with this series, well worth a read for any classic Hulk, horror and metamorphosis fans Read Full Review
Joe Bennett’s art continues to impress me, as he draws new and horribly twisted ways for the Hulk to morph into Banner and vice versa. Shades of John Carpenter’s The Thing come to mind. This is and continues to be my favourite Marvel title, if you love the Hulk and the Horror genre, you owe to yourself to follow this series. Read Full Review
What's not good about this issue? Art as usual was fantastic. I love the way Hulk absorbed that well written villain. Felt short but that's just because it was a great read. This Hulk serious is so good not seeing any signs of it giving up.
👍
Walter and Carol launch a heroic new Hulk-hunting operation. That's just the sideshow; the star attraction here is the Hulk surviving a scary-detailed vivisection before tearing his way free of Shadow Base. It's the sort of vivid spectacle that sticks in the reader's memory for years to come. The script is in top form, delivering a brisk text and a bumper crop of subtext. The art is something special, even by the sky-high standards Joe Bennett has already established. The Hulk's escape calls for striking imagery, and it's simply impossible to imagine anything more striking than the horrific scenes we get here.
As a kid In the 80’s and early 90’s it was easy for us to hypothesize what would happen if Wolverine was mutilated or would the Hulk survive being cut apart. Al Ewing took child hood fantasy and made a story that is amazing, far fetched yet totally plausible after having 60 years of Hulk stories to get us here. Masterpiece is an understatement
I really love this series.
This was crazy A W E S O M E, do yourself a favor and read the hell out of this book.
Al Ewing knocks it out of the park once again!
Clearly the Hulk is growing far more intelligent as the series goes on. Even as he’s cut up into separate jars we learn the far reaching capabilities of his inability to die and it’s more horrific then we could have pictured. Joe Bennett does an incredible job at showing how grotesque the Hulk is when he’s absorb’s the mad scientist as well as transforming back to Banner! Only complaint is why didn’t Carol make sure her friend, Banner, go through the proper channels? Overall a phenomenal issue.
This is insane
Loved it.
Absolutely fantastic. Best Marvel series right now.
Never thought Hulk would end up as one of the best horror comics for years
Great job. Ewing is making Hulk just as feared for his unexpected intelligence as much as what he's capable of doing power wise. Banner is in trouble. Bennett excelled here with his art. Fantastic!
The body-horror was cool, but these Avengers small talks are boring and make the comic worse for me. Also I'm getting tired of Hulk being only a side character in his own book. I want it to be more like 1 and 2 issues, I want to read Banner's thoughts and see the story from his perspective. Wouldn't it be cool if we know what Hulk felt being torn into pieces? Did he feel his heart beating? Did he see his father in a reflection of a jar? I dunno, I feel wasted potential. And it's kinda like I was deceived by the first two issues... I mean, we already had the second issue, that was 100% Banner's one, but after that there's again this mist of mystery and like we don't deserve to get more Hulk yet.
THE GOOD:
-I don't know when the Hulk became a body horror series, but I love it!
-Joe Bennett's art is back on track. Excellent look to this book, I really enjoyed it.
-I liked the end. It draws back to issue #5, remedying the fact that the previous two issues ignored that theme.
-I actually enjoyed this weird villain in the issue. He met a quick demise, but at least he was memorable.
THE BAD:
-I'm not a huge fan of the whole Gamma Flight thing. I totally understand if you enjoy this part of the series, but I find Hulk's storyline infinitely better.
Docking a great story a point for relying on the Stupid Scientist trope. Really, he wasn't smart enough to keep the head in another room, or to not taunt the Hulk. Surely everyone knows you don't make the Hulk angry.
Loved the snap, though. Almost as iconic as Thanos's, maybe?
Great issue and great art work! Still confuse on some of the Hulk aspects. But other than that great dialogue and great job on progressing the story.
"Gamma flight"
Eight issues in and this comic book has yet to disappoint me.
The creepy and eerie atmosphere is practically pouring out of the pages, the plot is interesting and intriguing, and the characters are compelling.
As for immortal Hulk himself, he is scary and smart, scary-smart actually and just crossed a line he never crossed before. I have a feeling that this will have some bad repercussions for little ol' Bruce Banner.
