So it's up to me to evaluate yet another stupidity disguised as a comic book.

The Savage Hulk doesn't swear; he's supposed to be Banner's savage side, behaving like the scientist's inner child (who's not even a scientist anymore, more like a homeless person). The classic Hulk persona was distorted to make this version a stupid version of that persona created specifically for the writer himself and his share of readers who don't buy this book, so that it at least becomes a relevant factor alongside other garbage that, inexplicably (I think due to this generation's lack of embracing any trash they see), managed to become bestsellers, like Imperial and Absolute Batman.

This isn't a Hulk story, but rather the decadent culture of the writer being portrayed at its most rotten level, as in an issue where the Absorbing Man leaves a bar in a rotten tribute to Jack Kirby, which clearly proves the author's vision, who believes Kirby came from the trash, just like him. The problem might not so much be the wokeness, which is abundant in Immortal Hulk, but here, there's the wokeness and even a shoddy script with guest artists that only reinforces the idea that this series will be shelved and people will wait for, either a one-show or a miniseries that brings the real Hulk back.

There's something a user commented about one of the writer's last pathetic interviews: that even in the visceral (and perfect) horror of Immortal Hulk, it was still a Hulk story at its most chilling. Here, we have this writer's entire life portrayed, which no one wants to know about. We have feminism, white men becoming extinct, but we don't have anything like The Incredible Hulk, and, of course, a mischaracterized Betty Banner. According to what was established in Immortal Hulk, she didn't reach the Below Place, like Banner's cousin and Leonard Samson, when that's not how the story in Immortal Hulk went. Another point that demonstrates Phillip Kennedy Johnson's incompetence as a Hulk writer (his worst work, without a shadow of a doubt) is that he could have used Betty to tell a visceral horror story with an R rating, but he probably didn't read Immortal Hulk #19. He didn't take advantage of anything when she causes memorable slaughter, especially with Joe Bennett's art. Anyone who read that issue knows is one of the most brutal issues of Immortal Hulk.

PKJ remains a directionless writer, more motivated to write Superman than The Incredible Hulk, who seems to write the story just days before the issue is published. A weirdo who should follow his path and forget about the Stan Lee and Jack Kirby character, whom he simply doesn't care about, being used as a tool for deconstruction by an entire editorial. When this is over, he'll be known as the Hulk writer who was thrown into limbo, since this is Marvel, and they can erase it if they want and restart everything, while this guy will only be used as a tool, but from what I understand, a tool to show everyone that he's incapable of writing an Immortal Hulk sequel, taking nothing away from the best run the Hulk has ever had. more
