Immortal Hulk (2018) #46-50
Of Hell And Of Death
I've admittedly never been the biggest Hulk fan. His story is probably one of the most well known of all of Marvel/Stan Lee's creations. If you grew up anytime between now and 1970, you know that Bruce Banner turns into the Incredible Hulk and madness ensues, as the beastly Hulk can't control himself and lays waste to everything in his path.
Many writers have spent time on the Doctor Jeckyl and Mister Hyde approach to Banner's overtold story and this series was similar in many aspects. But this one was different for a lot of reasons. Joe Bennett's artwork gives it a distinct vibe that kind of reminded me of Frank Miller's style. That combined with Al Ewing's stories really made this a different kind of Hulk book. In this final story, as the series wrapped with #50, Banner is in literal Hell. Joe Fixit is back as well as Alpha/Gamma Flight and even the Avengers all fight it out as they do their best to rescue Banner from the underworld, all the while freeing him from the Leader's grasp. Even Rick Jones makes several appearances, albeit in a very bizarre way. But honestly, I did enjoy this one. I'm sad to see it ending but a 50 book arc is very much enough to stand on it's own. I recommend reading this one from #1-50 if you have the time. You won't be disappointed.
