Nobody wanted to take over The Incredible Hulk solo series until Bob Harras asked Peter David. He could do whatever he wanted because the title was mostly dead. He rapidly found success and worked on the title for a good decade, from issue #331 to #467. Al Ewing's Immortal Hulk takes those horror underpinnings that have been there from the start and cranks them up to 11. This book runs the gamut from body horror to psychological horror to intimate existential horror to sheer Lovecraftian madness, all while plumbing the conceptual depths of what exactly the Hulk actually IS. It takes this pretty well-explored character and finds new, complex ways to look at him, all while featuring some of the most bone-chilling moments and visuals a Marvel book has ever put to print ( the artwork, primarily from Joe Bennett, is both gorgeous and truly disturbing). This honestly reminds me of Alan Moore's run on Swamp Thing, in terms of how completely it revitalizes and reimagines the Green Goliath. Gary Frank immortalizes the climactic moment of the “Hulk in Hell” arc where Devil Hulk lets Bruce know he’ll always protect him from IMMORTAL HULK #13

Immortal Hulk gets a complete omnibus in July, Marvel Zombies are collected in total as Zomnibus, there are also complete collections of Joe Kelly's Amazing Spider-Man in an Omnibus, Uncanny X-Men Vol 5 with the Trial Of Magneto get an Omnibus, and we look at how Carol Danvers and Monica Rambeau Captain Marvel books are getting collected ahead of The Marvels movie. Banner didn’t die, but something changed in him. He became the Jekyll/Hyde of the Marvel Universe, two “men” in one body, transforming from the mild-mannered bespectacled physicist into the gray-skinned monster named “the Hulk” when he loses control. Collects The Incredible Hulk #234–244, The Incredible Hulk Annual #8–9, material from Marvel Treasury Edition #20, #24 Collects Incredible Hulk #1–6; Fantastic Four #12, 25–26; Avengers #1–3, 5; Amazing Spider-Man #14; Tales to Astonish #59; Journey into Mystery #112. At that point, Mark Waid became the main writer on Indestructible Hulk. His 20-issue run is collected in one big volume.

Before starting, if you just want to know what happened during the first 300 issues of the Hulk, take a look at Jim Rugg’s Hulk: Grand Design. The Immortal Hulk, introduced as the Devil Hulk, is a fictional alternate-personality character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.Collects Hulk (2008) #1-12, King-Size Hulk #1, Incredible Hulk (1968) #600 and material from Wolverine (2003) #50. The entirety of Al Ewing's Hulk masterpiece, called one of the greatest comic books of all time, collected in an omnibus!

No wonder so many writers attempt to deliver a “definitive” take. Something which cuts through all the history to state, “This is what’s REALLY going on.” Until of course the next ambitious writer turns up and goes, “Yeah but no, THIS is what’s really going on.” Creees Lee immortalizes Hulk’s initial confrontation with Betty’s new manifestation of her Red Harpy persona from IMMORTAL HULK #19 Ewing knows how to piece together a good story. I love the horror elements scattered throughout as well. Body horror works particularly well in comic form. For a time, Bruce Banner is not front and center in the Hulk story. Amadeus is taking on the biggest monsters in the Marvel Universe.Collects The Incredible Hulk vol. 2 #369–400, Annual #16–18, X-Factor #76, material from Marvel Holiday Special #2 February’s Immortal Hulk #43 gained mainstream attention for all the wrong reasons when readers noticed anti-semitic imagery in the artwork: a jewelry shop window displaying the misspelled last name of Jewish filmmaker David Cronenberg (“Cronemberg”), “jewelry” misspelled as “jewery”, and a Star of David. Penciller Joe Bennett posted an apology (which is no longer public) on Facebook, stating:
