Immortal Hulk #1

So I love the way that they frame this story first of all. They get a little abstract with the placement, go a little unique with the brief narrating text that is supposed to tell you what this story is all about. Some random kid kills a little girl and a gas station attendant and... Bruce Banner, who I understand died but is now back? Do I need to know how he came back or is it explained in this? Anyway, Bruce dies but he comes back. Apparently the kid made bad decisions with bad people and went too far.

So Hulk kills everyone and the kid begs for his life and I actually really, really like this scene where he is begging for his life and asks Hulk if he's ever made a mistake. And Hulk seems to actually understand for just a minute, because he totally has. But then he claims he's not a bad guy, and Hulk is having not even a fucking second of that. He is pretty much ruined for life in a coma and later Bruce is asking Hulk in the mirror if he's a bad guy.

Honestly, amazing issue. Really impressed with what they did here and how they managed to reflect back to Bruce and Hulk. This is the kind of stuff I love to see in Hulk comics.

Immortal Hulk #2

Love the opening with Bruce thinking about the Geiger counter haunting him. And I love the art here and the creativity they use in showing reflections of the Hulk.

This story explores how Hulk can't die and a doctor who tries to heal his son dying of cancer with Banner's radiation research. He took the serum and ended up being a ghost skeleton while his son died super hard. They both can't die though, but Hulk says he put his son in a grave, so now Hulk is putting him in one too. He buries him deep in the earth while they dig out his son from the grave to make sure people don't get radiation poisoning from his gravesite.

Great story!

Immortal Hulk #3

So this is a fun little story (well as fun as this book gets) where Hulk stops some kid who had gamma blasts coming from his hands who had killed his girlfriend apparently. Loved that one of the guys was a cop who just thinks Hulk is great because he's an Avenger.

Anyway, it's just a fun little story that was an enjoyable read, but the more interesting part was that Sasquatch of Alpha Flight seems like he wants Banner to help him, likely about removing Sasquatch's abilities from him.

Immortal Hulk #4

So this ends up focusing more on Sasquatch. I feel like his story is a little bit of embellishment on how his friendship with Banner was in college though. Still, it was nice to get a primer on Sasquatch since I know very little about him. Really interesting to see Hulk has ruined McGee's life before though when she was a little girl! Should be interesting.

Anyway, Sasquatch gets stabbed in a bar fight and then transforms only at night when he's being operated on and he doesn't seem friendly right now. But Banner seems like he wants to see him, so let's see what that's about!

Immortal Hulk #5

Hulk fight!

So something is possessing Gamma people. Good thing Hulk rid the world of a lot of them before. Sasquatch murders people because he's possessed and the possessing thing looks like Bruce's abusive father. This is kinda trippy and absolutely not what I expected from my Hulk book, but I like it. At the end is seems like he possesses Hulk though which is concerning.

I really like where the McGee story went and how she wants to be like Hulk and Hulk just blows her off like she asked a stupid question. lol Anyway, I really like this and am interested where it goes!

Will read more later tonight potentially.
