Immortal Hulk #3-4

Published July 18 and August 1, 2018

   So I've really liked a lot of stuff I've read from Al Ewing and this series is really starting off to not be any exception to that rule. Fresh off the heels of an amazing run on the Avengers, Marvel broke up the team of writers and spread them around a little bit. However you look at it, Al Ewing drew the lucky Hulk straw, and he's determined to make the very best of it.

   Obviously we know the story of the tortured Bruce Banner... Forever scared of his neverending Mr. Hyde turn. This time Ewing employs lots of artists using all kinds of different styles... There's classic pop style that throws back to the Silver Age, as well as a tight minimalist style as well. To tell the truth, it was actually kind of refreshing seeing the book bounce around although as #3 ended, I was more than happy to see #4 get back to a steady artist.

   Journalist Jackie Magee still seeks info on the resurrected Hulk. Amidst drifting references between Hotshot in flashbacks, she finally receives a callback from a subject who just might know a thing or two about the Hulk - Alpha Flight's Sasquatch. 

Gross!

   Ewing pushes and pulls between Banner and Walter Langowski's history together, when the reporter and part-time jock turned superhero are forced to deal with an unexpected murder attempt. At the end, Bruce decides to contact Jackie himself, with the warning that Sasquatch's gamma radiation problem might be ready to cause quite the commotion. What happens next is left for the always inevitable continuation.

   Something intesrting about both of these books though was the way he began and ended them. Both begin with an ominous historical quote, with the issue's title and credits being on the very last page. It's kind of trippy but a neat way to wrap things up. Like #1 and 2 before it, I did where this series is going. I give these two an 8/10.
