Immortal Hulk, Vol. 1: Or is he Both? by Al Ewing, Joe Bennett
3.0
The cover is the best part. Which isn't an insult because it's a great cover.
Honestly? Eh.
The problem is this story is trying to pick up after way too much goings on in the life of Bruce Banner/Hulk. Also, there was an explanatory thing in this volume that kind of brings you up to speed. Know where that is? At the end! Who made that decision?
Hulk needs a reset every so often. Some characters suffer from constant resets, but Hulk is easy. Here's how it was before, and now it's different because, well, who knows? He's a monster made out of a gamma bomb. Who wrote the rulebook here? It's all happening in the pages, so just give him a reset.
I was pretty excited about the idea of a Hulk/Monster Movie mash-em-up. But it didn't quite come through, which is too bad. This whole Dark Universe thing just taints everything it touches. Or touches everything on the taint. Whichever's worse.
