About this deal

But actually there is a *motivation* for God earlier in the book of Job, when Satan makes a bet with Him that he can turn Job into an atheist by fucking with him.

My reaction to the denouement this second time around was no doubt coloured by a piece I’d just read by Freddie deBoer, titled “Please Stop Having Your Characters Just State the Themes of Your Show or Movie to the Audience, Thanks”, which argues exactly what it sounds like it’d argue. There’s also an annoying attempt to ret-con Banner’s family tree, which would be too much of a spoiler to expand on.

In reality, I read these issues as the first 3 collections of the comic, but as I read them all together I want to keep them together in 1 entry. You’d think the MC’s publicly announced intention to destroy the world would still be a big deal even if it was 20 issues ago, right?

The artwork and colouring is well done, not one for children though as it deals with adult themes and is quite horror based with monsters etc. While I am not au fait enough with the character to pick up on all the continuity points, it's still a fairly good self-contained read.I could see the sinew in each foot, and the Hulk always looks impossibly strong—it is very striking. It’s a bit shit that you can charge umpty-ump dollars for a comic and still ruin some of the images). Which I don’t have a problem with, but it leaches any real stakes from those scenes because there’s no rules to those mental/dream universes, so any terrible life-threatening fate in one can just be wished away in the next, and indeed they often are. What I did, genuinely, admire, though, was that Al Ewing doesn’t lose sight of what a Hulk comic is supposed to do.

By using the Web site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the Terms and Conditions. I mean, part of the core appeal of the story is the universal idea of losing control, of letting go of something buried deep inside that's vicious and uncivilized and powerful. Taking all the psychological horror/trauma of Bruce Banner and his multiple personalities and mixing it with visceral body horror makes this one of the best Marvel series I've ever read. Captain Marvel was around for a bit with pointless depictions of her pointlessly great ass, two different haircuts (artistic continuity, anyone?

I have never read a Hulk story before, and I must say that the results with this series are rather impressive. But to obtain the answers he seeks, Bruce Banner will have to face roaming gamma experiments, a ruthless assassin out for his blood… and the one thing that can cage the Immortal Hulk. As usual with hulk the art is patchy in some places but also breath taking in others, the writing is strong throughout. This comic is dark, disturbing in places but enthralling and is obviously building to something which I look forward to reading in the later volumes. Read the entire Immortal Hulk and despite knowing absolutely nothing about Hulk (aside from the fact that he's green and angry) I definitely enjoyed it.

His (temporary) redesign of the Absorbing Man is one that readers of the book will never forget, as is his hand-face Abomination, finally living up to his name. And it put Doc Samson in place as Hulk’s mental health support, and ran a lengthy sub-plot involving a damaged version of Betty Ross.Job asks his creator w the f is up with all this suffering, and his creator responds, essentially, which of us made the universe, buddy?
