Immortal Hulk Vol. 5: Breaker of Worlds by Al Ewing

4.0

The Hulk was never one of my favorite titles, though I read him regularly back in the day, because I read everything Marvel put out. That was Marvel's Silver Age, and for a long time the Hulk shared Tales to Astonish (I think it was) alongside the Submariner. This is a way more interesting Hulk than that was, and the stories her are complex and deeply strange. There are huge holes in my knowledge of the overall permutations that the Hulk and Bruce Banner have gone through over the last decades, all of which seem to be represented one way or another here, often in the form of Banner's/Hulk's multiple personalities; mostly I was able to follow along via context and hints. Then there's also that the Hulk actually is immortal now, and he dies, generally horribly, time and again to prove it. After a point, this title becomes--at least for me, and I may be missing something--flat out nonlinear, especially come volume 5. I have to say though, I'm really enjoying the ride, which is quite compelling in character and concept!
