Immortal Hulk finally hits it's finale and。。。it was okay。 Here's the thing。 I enjoyed Immortal Hulk。 Especially the middle section like volume 3-6 or 7。 But then it got pretty disjointed closer to the end。 Here we have Hulk being defined with who he is and what he is。 Before we get into the internal struggle with the one below and the one above， we have to deal with a big brawl with the Avengers。 Hulk is looked at as a monster， which all makes sense in the end。 I mean look what he's done in this Immortal Hulk finally hits it's finale and。。。it was okay。 Here's the thing。 I enjoyed Immortal Hulk。 Especially the middle section like volume 3-6 or 7。 But then it got pretty disjointed closer to the end。 Here we have Hulk being defined with who he is and what he is。 Before we get into the internal struggle with the one below and the one above， we have to deal with a big brawl with the Avengers。 Hulk is looked at as a monster， which all makes sense in the end。 I mean look what he's done in this run alone。 But can he actually be redeemed？ This was a weird ending。 And not in the sense where I'm like "I'm confused what happened" ending， but in a more "Oh。。。that's。。。it。。。okay。。。" type ending。 There's moment of slowdown with Betty that worked really well and I enjoyed some of the other moments of Hulk's internal monologue and end to his mission。 But the very ending， the one above all or the one under， didn't really work for me。 It dragged on FOREVER。 Joe Fix was one of the better parts but even that felt muddled at times。 Overall。 I feel this run would benefit from reading it in one long sitting instead of through years。 To fully feel the story。 As it stands it's a okay ending。 A 3 out of 5。 。。。more

So the run ends。 I think given the way the series has built itself up， readers might've expected something more bombastic for a finale， but I always figured we'd get something a little more introspective， especially to wipe the slate relatively clean for the Donny Cates/Ryan Ottley rebranding。 I'm thrilled with it。 This might even be better than Peter David's run， but I also have a bias towards body horror and eldritch threats。 A lesser writer might have made that penultimate issue feel padded， So the run ends。 I think given the way the series has built itself up， readers might've expected something more bombastic for a finale， but I always figured we'd get something a little more introspective， especially to wipe the slate relatively clean for the Donny Cates/Ryan Ottley rebranding。 I'm thrilled with it。 This might even be better than Peter David's run， but I also have a bias towards body horror and eldritch threats。 A lesser writer might have made that penultimate issue feel padded， or the flashbacks to the Stern family in the 20th century a little contrived， but it all gels。 。。。more

You know， I really wanted to enjoy this final Immortal Hulk trade （not counting the Apocrypha） ， and for the most part I did。But then I got to the reprint of the final， extra-large issue， and some of the pages were out-of-order。 That threw off the rhythm of the final reveals， and it affected my enjoyment of the story。 Kind of a shame。 It was quite good up until that point。

Welp， Hulk is over。 Though this was a critically acclaimed series， it had already begun showing its age 20 issues ago。 Its stretched plot lumbered under this book's accumulated cast， Banner's dissociative identities， and establish 3 （three！） separate spin-offs， not including （the excellent collection in Immortal Hulk Vol。 11: Apocrypha）。 Hulk has "bulked up" after the previous issues and the Jade Giant smashes the latest team of government stooges who try to control him。 But while he shrugs off Welp， Hulk is over。 Though this was a critically acclaimed series， it had already begun showing its age 20 issues ago。 Its stretched plot lumbered under this book's accumulated cast， Banner's dissociative identities， and establish 3 （three！） separate spin-offs， not including （the excellent collection in Immortal Hulk Vol。 11: Apocrypha）。 Hulk has "bulked up" after the previous issues and the Jade Giant smashes the latest team of government stooges who try to control him。 But while he shrugs off immense threats， those close to him are pushed to endanger themselves as Hulk envelops them in chaos。 And that's what these issues are about: Who would die for you？ Who would go to Hell for you？ Nearly every character brought in has a special relationship with Hulk， and I loved their contributions previously: She-Hulk from the Avengers， Ben Grimm from the Fantastic Four， McGowan and Langstrom from Gamma Flight。 And their parts are played well but tangle the story far too much。 While Hulk smashes his opponents， fledging out his relationships and desires change our perception of Hulk in a way I dislike。 If you， like I， were sold on an ineffable and alien Hulk， he is now brought low and cast down。 He is pathetic and human at many points， whether it is reflecting on his abusive childhood， begging his girlfriend to come back， or ordering a drink。 I bought into a primal hulk; the accumulation of Banner's Id and when the Immortal Hulk team decided that the Id， the basest part of us， could make complex decisions， it became terrifying。 But seeing Hulk act like a whiny teenager （à la Peter Parker） diminishes the Hulk to a superego rather than a superhero （bah-dum-tzz！）。Though Bennet's style is a little too realistic and busy for my taste， anyone with eyes can appreciate his dedication in terrifying splash pages。 The final issue succeeds in making Ewing's story mesmerizing and satisfying。 Purely to spite me—I assume—Ewing added to of my story pet peeves; pop-Kabbalah and comics-style journalism。 The former is used jarringly; Are there really more than a handful of readers who know the Tree of Life symbology well enough to understand "chesed，" "gevurah，" and "golachab" without resorting to esoteric googling？ Regarding journalism， it continues to irk me that comic book writers have not the smallest iota of how journalists act。 It's kind of amazing to see a supposed journalist not even use a recording app， let alone a notepad。But these gripes are minor。 Ultimately， my distaste for Hulk's ending is because this story is a bait-and-switch。 After fighting social evils， his own past， and his gamma family， he now must escape the Avengers， save Banner， and defeat the Leader。 In the midst of this， let's call it what it is， standard comic book story， Ewing appends a confrontation with the （view spoiler）[One Below All （hide spoiler）] in （view spoiler）[Gamma-Hell to ask it why pain must exist （hide spoiler）]。 And I don't like either side of this， becausea） The Immortal Hulk billed itself as being the opposite of standard andb） The final confrontation loses the plot。 I don't just mean that it detracts from the story either;There is a cut-scene， background changes， and at least four different conversations occurring all while a fight fails to materialize。 I understand the reason for it—this is a pivotal moment for all characters—but it's not a Hulk ending。 In Marvel Comics， continuity is everything and it did not feel like the right time or theme。Finishing this book I feel satisfied， but don't have any urge to read the subsequent spin-offs （Defenders， Gamma Flight， and of course Hulk）。["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]> 。。。more

Bruce Banner's Alters try to save themselves from the Leader， and then prepare for the final battle with the true master of the Green Door， the One Below All。Al Ewing's masterpiece hits all the right marks in this final volume。 It ties into ongoing plots in other books such as Avengers and Fantastic Four， while making sure that what's occurring here wraps up almost everything that's been left hanging since the earliest issues of the book。 The final issue is a little bloated， with a framing seque Bruce Banner's Alters try to save themselves from the Leader， and then prepare for the final battle with the true master of the Green Door， the One Below All。Al Ewing's masterpiece hits all the right marks in this final volume。 It ties into ongoing plots in other books such as Avengers and Fantastic Four， while making sure that what's occurring here wraps up almost everything that's been left hanging since the earliest issues of the book。 The final issue is a little bloated， with a framing sequence that feels a little out of nowhere （even if it makes sense in retrospect）， and there's a sense of 'putting all the toys back where they came from' for the next creative team， but thus is the nature of comics。 Don't mourn that it's over and we're back to the status quo， just enjoy the ride while it lasts。Joe Bennett's on art for the most part。 The less said about him the better at this point - the art's great， but that's all we're going to say。Immortal Hulk goes out with a smash。 It's not a perfect ending， but it's damn well close。 。。。more

After so many Al Ewing books cut down in their prime - for too long he couldn't get past Volume 2 without at least a rename or renumbering - it's a delight just to get to a Volume 10 and a planned conclusion。 Especially when this particular journey was also disrupted by a pandemic shutting down the whole US comics industry， with disruptions rippling on to this day。 Not to mention a widening political gap with main series artist Joe Bennett， the two of them nevertheless deciding to put their diff After so many Al Ewing books cut down in their prime - for too long he couldn't get past Volume 2 without at least a rename or renumbering - it's a delight just to get to a Volume 10 and a planned conclusion。 Especially when this particular journey was also disrupted by a pandemic shutting down the whole US comics industry， with disruptions rippling on to this day。 Not to mention a widening political gap with main series artist Joe Bennett， the two of them nevertheless deciding to put their differences on hold for the sake of their large green child before going their separate ways （a solution I endorse， but then I'm a terrible old centrist）。 So， aside from being glad that the series even made the landing， did they stick it？ Well。。。 mostly。 Part of what made Immortal Hulk the most compelling Marvel series since Unbeatable Squirrel Girl wrapped was the way it took Hulk back to being a horror character， always a better fit than superheroics - and then the sheer variety of subgenres it could tie into that。 That continues here， with body horror， identity horror， cosmic horror woven around and through each other as we reach the final confrontation。 Yes， a couple of strands have been shelved by this point - the political horror is taking a bit of a back seat， likewise the environmental horror it brings in its wake - but there can't help but remain a political component when right to the end this is so much a story about toxic masculinity， a theodicy of the Hulk which understands quite what browbeating bullshit the rejoinder to Job was。 And yet also one which， let's be clear， does feature a satisfactory amount of smashing。 The resolution is necessarily provisional - this is corporate comics， after all， and there's a new Hulk #1 within the month。 But if you ignore that， as I plan to， we end on a moment of hard-won peace after the gamma storms。 Maybe not quite an ending up with the series' best moments， but certainly not an anticlimactic one either， and confirmation that this will be remembered as one of the great Hulk runs。 。。。more

I’ve read each of the issues that make up this volume （really every volume） of The Immortal Hulk， and I’ve read them all digitally。 I mention this because digital can have an effect on tone and flow especially if one is reading in guided view。 I’ve been blessed in that I’ve been able to read many issues on a larger screen without guided view。I’ll have to admit I was underwhelmed by the 50th final issue and unsure of what happened。 I’m going to go back and read the final nine issues again， maybe I’ve read each of the issues that make up this volume （really every volume） of The Immortal Hulk， and I’ve read them all digitally。 I mention this because digital can have an effect on tone and flow especially if one is reading in guided view。 I’ve been blessed in that I’ve been able to read many issues on a larger screen without guided view。I’ll have to admit I was underwhelmed by the 50th final issue and unsure of what happened。 I’m going to go back and read the final nine issues again， maybe in four days instead of four months， and I’ll appreciate it better。 That being said Joe Bennett’s art is amazing as always， current issue identity politics seem to be absent， and Al Ewing cleared the slate for the next writer。 。。。more

No sé si merece 5 estrellas este volumen， pero la serie completa sí。 Y esta es su valoración。

It would have taken an almost Shakespearean feat of writing to satisfyingly wrap up the insanity that was the Immortal Hulk run， but Al Ewing didn't quite get there。 A few pointless giant battle scenes and a whimper rather than a bang of an ending helped this volume just hit the "ok" mark。 It would have taken an almost Shakespearean feat of writing to satisfyingly wrap up the insanity that was the Immortal Hulk run， but Al Ewing didn't quite get there。 A few pointless giant battle scenes and a whimper rather than a bang of an ending helped this volume just hit the "ok" mark。 。。。more

Termina esta gran etapa de Ewing a cargo de Hulk， dejando la vara bastante alta。 Quedan ahora por revisar las miniseries que se derivan de este ultimo arco。 Visualmente el arte de Bennett es tremendo。 Altamente recomendado。

While Ewing brings the metaphysical narrative to an appropriate conclusion of biblical proportions， some of the more interesting ideas from earlier arcs and issues， such as Hulk smashing capitalism and geometric aliens trying to alter the past， don't really resurface in any noticeable way。 The "Devil-Hulk" concept seems to have been Ewing's main bag all along， but by this point in the story， he had gone to that well so many times that the ending feels somewhat inevitable。 While Ewing brings the metaphysical narrative to an appropriate conclusion of biblical proportions， some of the more interesting ideas from earlier arcs and issues， such as Hulk smashing capitalism and geometric aliens trying to alter the past， don't really resurface in any noticeable way。 The "Devil-Hulk" concept seems to have been Ewing's main bag all along， but by this point in the story， he had gone to that well so many times that the ending feels somewhat inevitable。 。。。more
