This keeps getting better.

That part was good. I still don't like this has guest artists, they really just don't needed, I need more Bennett. But the story is fine. Not a masterpiece, just fine.

Immortal Hulk, by Al Ewing, Joe Bennett, et al. (Marvel)

OK, so most of you seem to really like this series…it gets high reviews. Additionally, the Ewing/Bennett run has been nominated for Eisners in 2019, 2020, and 2022 for “Best Continuing Series”…the critics like it. However, after reading the first three volumes…no thanks. I think I’m done. The third volume was a real chore to get through. I couldn’t wait to be done so I could move on to something/anything else. Issue #14 was particularly bad (especially with the fill-in art). This whole volume (including both the Devil Hulk in hell and the following arc with the immortality of the gamma characters) left me with the literature equivalent aftertaste of drinking spoiled milk…yuck.

The only thing I really liked in this volume was Ewing’s unique use of the character Puck from Alpha Flight/Gamma Flight. He made Puck intriguing and cool. I saw Ewing later co-wrote a Gamma Flight spin-off in 2021 with mixed reviews.
