After a volume that saw unspeakable destruction as well a new level of regeneration on the part of ol' Big Green, we now see the Immortal Hulk in Hell.
Yes- the Green Door was the gate to Hades. There, Hulk and friends will encounter old friends, family and foes.
This volume lead me to ask 'why do comic books agree that there's a Hell. But there's hardly ever an belief in a paradise?' (Unless you are a fallen Norse warrior...)
Hulk's trek through the damned isn't the only storyline in this volume. We catch up with a pair of Hulk family icons that we had though long dead. I've used the EC horror books of the 1950s as a comparison to this amazing series quite a bit in my reviews of Immortal Hulk. Well, I'm not stopping with this volume.
Kyle Hotz (Agent X) illustrates issue #14 which finds that while a foe of Banner has fallen, love never dies. His rendering of the funeral in the rain was something straight out of Tales from the Crypt or The Haunt of Terror. I loved the Gothic quality of it all.
After a small hiccup, the quality is back to normal. Al Ewing is killin' it in this series!
Worth Consuming!
Rating: 9 out of 10 stars.
