Al Ewing has created another smash hit of an issue as The Immortal Hulk continues to be one of the best comics of the year. Read Full Review

I like a lot of Marvel Comics that are being written right now, but none of them are as good as this one. Long live the Immortal Hulk. Read Full Review

Overall, this is another slam dunk issue from Ewing and company. Even though it started out slow, this story has hit a breakneck pace in a matter of a few issues, and it only gets better as it goes. Even with half of the issue focusing on an old villain that the Hulk has defeated many times, the story is still compelling, and honestly, one of Marvels best books out right now. Run, dont walk, to pick up this series today. Read Full Review

THE IMMORTAL HULK #9 is a beautiful-looking book. From start to finish, the art looks downright mesmerizing. That's thanks to the art team of Joe Bennett and Martin Simmonds. Al Ewing, as usual, writes truly stupendous book as well. Read Full Review

I love the direction this story is going. There are so many strange twists and turns that are taking the Hulk somewhere dark. Read Full Review

Immortal Hulk #9 is another winner this month. Its a crazy world to live in where the Hulk is not your biggest worry, or the people who are after him. Read Full Review

Each issue of the Immortal Hulk thus far, Al Ewing and his creative team continues to carry that torch of their predecessors and take fans back to a gothic horror genre with influential theories on psychodynamics. Ewing uses the dark and morbid nature of humans with traumatic experiences that Banner/Hulk to provide a fresh new direction for long time fans as well as new readers. Read Full Review

Another issue in the books for The Immortal Hulk proves it's a must-read. While some of the plot threads need some work, Ewing's reinvention of the character is fascinating. Also, I'm convinced that Ewing and Bennett are trying to outdo themselves with how to make the ending of each issue more grotesque than the last. Read Full Review

The Immortal Hulk is a rich book, both thematically and tonally. I've never been the biggest Hulk fan, either, but Al Ewing is pushing the character in new and interesting directions and it's been really enjoyable. I wouldn't recommend jumping on with this week's issue, but the series is worth going back and catching up on. Read Full Review

Creel was interesting and this story packed a lot of good moments in a standard sized comic. Both artist worked well together with a killer ending drawn with true terror by Bennet. Again nothing I didn't like...this hulk run is some of the best stuff to happen to this art form

Damn.

This is probably my favorite series right now. Al Ewing is finally getting the praise he's deserved for years now.

Crusher Creel wanders into the clutches of Shadow Base and thence into combat with the Hulk. The fight's memorable enough - and not finished by a long shot - but the lead-up using a divided narrative to follow Devil Hulk and Creel simultaneously is even more memorable. It's an impressive piece of structure, yet the creators do not hesitate to break its rules when the story demands it. Creel's POV gets beautiful guest art, and on the Hulk side, we get outstanding Devil Hulk narration. Add in some more ominous portents regarding the overall shape of Hulk's antagonists and you have an issue that slides smoothly into this title's usual ratings parking spot, right next door to perfect.

THE GOOD:

-I liked the two simultaneous stories going on at the same time. It was a good effect to make this issue memorable.

-I especially enjoy it when the two stories overlapped. That was pretty neat in my opinion.

-I found both artists to be good. Martin Simmonds drew Hulk kind of weird, but other than that, it was good.

-I thought Creel's story was really interesting actually.

-It's nice to see some progress with the whole Hulk seeing his father thing.

-I also like that we can see the affect the previous has on Hulk. That page where he loses it was really quite powerful.

-Seeing that shrunken down Hulk was actually quite interesting. It sets up some intriguing future issues.

-Those last two pages were so WTF and perfect at the same time. I love it.

THE BAD:

-I guess that Simmonds Hulk depiction wasn't great? That's all I could really find. That's a small thing too. I give it a 9.5. more

Great again! Ewing has found his calling. The dual artists Bennet and Simmonds were great as a visual tools for both perspectives.

The ending was amazing, but otherwise the story and the art was mediocre.

Not as good as last issue's John Carpenter-esque horror, but still entertaining. The dual artists works pretty well here. Good stinger to end on.

"It's a killer..."

A slower issue when compared to the previous two, but if the last page is any indication the payoff will be definitely worth it. It sets up some interesting developments for the future.

Using two artists to show two different points of view is a pretty neat idea, but if I'm being honest the art in Creel's pages didn't really work for me. I think it didn't mesh well with Bennett's more horror-esque visuals.

I'm really tired of these swapping art styles. Just stop already or hire the second artist which would be on a level set by Joe Bennett. His work is still unquestionable, but of Martin Simmonds I liked only that one page with demon. That was beautiful. However in terms of people his artwork is very dirty and simple, it looks like a sketch. And this change of art wasn't even reasonable, because Martin wasn't only in flashbacks, but also in the actual fight.

The story was very slow and not that informative. I mean, this issue only made Creel a new Red Hulk and he absorbed One-Below-All + Banner's father. That's pretty much all the events of this issue... Yet I still liked that Hulk got a full monologue in this issue and the last page was great visually. Other than that this issue is readable and okay, don't get me wrong, I like Creel and didn't really hate this comic, but that's not that level of quality this series must have.

By the way, that scene where Hulk was weak really reminds me of Incredible Hulk #342 where Half-Life absorbed Hulk's power. It really looked the same and I like, that Ewing still tries to use David's ideas, but maybe it's time to stop already and go the other way? Like make something new? And I mean it's not a new thing giving an old Hulk's enemy a power of another Hulk's enemy. more

Enjoyed the art! Great story except for the ending, got a bit confused. Personal preference would be if in the first page Hulk was one to take down Creel.
