Is Immortal Hulk actually good...

The problem is this board is populated by people that literally consume cartoons for children, or on the comics side, Saturday morning cartoon-tier simple shit by their champions Tomasi, Tynion, et al, so when a book comes along with any sort of semblance of literary merit they just lose their fucking minds since they have no artistic reference points.

Every Immortal Hulk thread gets the copypasta.
Every. Fucking. Thread.

We missed one because of the outrage and I consider it a personal failing

No, and anyone who tells you otherwise is a filthy liar. It's just as mediocre as everything else Marvel has been shitting out recently.

How does this shit have any literary merit?

>is Immortal Hulk actually good?
It's good horror with a dash of concentrated continuity porn. It's dark and fun, which makes it better than most of Marvel's current output.

> I heard it makes hulk part demon or something which sounds shit but I haven't read it so it could work.

No, that's just a nickname. But at the same time it implies certain things about ALL gamma mutates. Just check it out and see if it's your thing.

I said it has a semblance of literary merit, such as quotes from old books at the start of every issue, and heavy handed themes of good and evil. Compared to X-Men #1231 or Justice League #123124 or whatever other crap is on the stands this week, it's ambitious. And since X-Men #1231 and Justice League #123124 are the reference points that Yea Forums uses, Immortal Hulk looks like a masterpiece. You even have idiots calling it "our Watchmen."

Who else hopes this stays as Betty's go to transformation? I'd totally read a series called "Hulk and Harpy"

Its literally run-of-the-mill SJW nuMarvel shit.
If your bar for "literary merit" is including quotes from another book, you have zero room to be calling anyone else retarded.

>Its literally run-of-the-mill SJW nuMarvel shit.
Oh, you're one of "those." And your reading comprehension is incredibly poor.

Don't reply to me anymore.

Perhaps you should try broadening your horizons. There are good comics being published by other companies, so you can see what a dumpster fire your "literary merit" is, since it's somehow not skullfuckingly obvious to you.

>so when a book comes along with any sort of semblance of literary merit

whatt the fuck is this soapbox shit.

Who thought it was a good idea to retcon gamma radiation to be part magic? It’s fucking dumb.

Gamma Radiation is a real thing, you know.
If dental x-rays were turning people into Megaminds with huge craniums and unstoppable superhuman monsters, there'd likely be some further explanation.

It's entertaining not much more. I wouldn't pay for it.

Hell yeah, it's arguably the best out of the Big 2 this year and last year.

I mean, Hulk as a character was created out of anxieties about nuclear testing and the bomb in general. Him having an environmental angle is pretty appropriate.

No, that would be appropriate for Banner.
Its just retarded for Hulk.

Yeah I hated it as well, just like the retarded Spider-Totem bullshit.

Hell no

Yep.

yep. for certain, and,
Absolutely.
Deal with it.

I mean, the way it's presented in the comics, it may as fucking well be magic

That was the first thing that came to my mind as well. I liked everything else about that elseworlds story, but the spider-totem shit was dumb as fuck.

I liked the idea of having one hot She-Hulk

Don't equate Gamma Radiation to that spider-totem bullshit. Regardless, just look at the monstrous shit gamma exposure does. It's no less ridiculous than half the shit Vibranium does
There should only be one She-Hulk. Betty ripping off Jen's thing is lame. Harpy was Betty's first alter ego anyway, so I say lets do more with it. And speaking of Jen, she's more of a Hulk knockoff than ever thanks to the stupid recent retcons. Dumb and an ugly brute? They can't retcon that fast enough

It's amazingly good. Too often Hulk is written like "Hulk is strong, and that's how everything gets solved. People love strong." This, this is horror, things going wrong and going wrong fast. Strength cannot save him. Strength cannot save you. Everyone's read a Hulk comic or seen a Hulk cartoons ep. This comic sticks to the comic and does a TON of callbacks. It all comes home to roost- and Hulk might not survive it, plot armor or not. (sees "Gamma rad as magic is dumb" comments) Banner didn't just disturb the natural order, he strapped it to a table and porked it. That's what he has to deal with. And he was only following orders. You milksop!

>Strength cannot save him
but he literally beats the devil by trying really hard and giving him the biggest punch ever™

>Its literally run-of-the-mill SJW nuMarvel shit.
Amazing, all these words and none of them have any meaning whatsoever. And guys like these are the ones hating on this book, huh.

He didn't beat him, though. Hulk literally says the clap gave him a few minutes of distraction and he ported out of the ASAP Rocky.

He actually didn't, he delayed it for a moment by dispersing its shape, before they escape. It's like you're parroting the same nonsense everyone says in here.
Also to add to this post , Hulk might be "the strongest there is" but he actually has feasible weaknesses that are exploited at every moment, like the whole daylight thing. In fact last week he got wrecked TWICE in two books because of it, amazing.

It's not so much him being an environmentalist as him just adding it to the laundry list of why humans suck.

Same here. And not even because it appeals to my love of monster girls. There's a potentially really great dynamic here, whenever Devil Hulk and Red Harpy finally meet.

well, "beats him" within the context of that issue. it's still a superhero comic and he still wins at the end of the day by being.. the strongest there is

what do you mean parroting? I own the issue, I read the issue.
>before they escape
huh? he smacks the devil out of wherever they are. it's not like they're speeding away to escape. he has enough time to do this after beating the devil

I just like the idea of two monsters confiding in each other, and I don't just mean physically. And yeah, I want to see Hulk and Harpy become a disastrous duo of destruction

I hated this page, Bruce faced and even overcame the hulk before, now he looks insecure all over again

>retcon
What? It's not even "part" magic anyway, it's an intermediate state, like a unknown particle in between. Fucking idiots who don't understand physics enough to make sense out of pseudo-science.
But I do agree that the way Gamma Radiation acts in the Marvel Universe may as well be magic, because in real life, if you get a dose of it, you DIE, whereas in here you get nifty powers an abilities. Makes you think why it hasn't happened more often.
>huh? he smacks the devil out of wherever they are.
I advise you to read it again, because if you really think he "smacked" the devil (which it wasn't by the way, it was THE ONE BELOW ALL), then you need to fine tune your reading comprehension. It literally says "That bought us maybe a minute".

>I hated this page
You must be the FIRST person I hear that hated that page, I fucking swear. We've had multiple storytimes since then (and even the day it came out) and everyone loved it.
Why does it feel like Yea Forums is slowly trying to turn on the book after months of praise? At least it's not at the level of Venom though, thank god nothing justifies how shitty that book was from the start and how many here licked Cates' balls for it.

>I advise you to read it again, because if you really think he "smacked" the devil (which it wasn't by the way, it was THE ONE BELOW ALL), then you need to fine tune your reading comprehension. It literally says "That bought us maybe a minute".
Lol. I read the issue. I know he says "we only have a minute". I also know that there are like 4 pages following that announcement of people standing still talking to each other, with 0 sense of urgency. Maybe you should read it again.
>which it wasn't by the way, it was THE ONE BELOW ALL
thank you for this terrific distinction without a difference. ultimate evil, satan, whatever. the big cloud guy is supposed to be the opposite of "god" (one above all).

I'm mean, we're not a hugbox. It's fine if they dislike this book or parts of it, as is the nature of the medium.

But most of it stems from the fact that the mongoloids are still ass-ravaged that the series didn't crash and burn like they were predicting after issue #11.

Ok? I didn't liked it, Banner growing a pair and facing the Hulk was a neat moment, this shit in the other hand contradict it.

It would be better if Hulk just convinced a grumpy Bruce to open himself to him instead, acting like the mature side for once.

>I also know that there are like 4 pages following that announcement of people standing still talking to each other, with 0 sense of urgency.
I have the book open right here and you're lying, there's a deluge of monsters and devils as the Hulk is fighting his way to the cliff where Brian Banner is. And then they win because Creel pulls Bruce out of the green light where Brian has him trapped. The fuck you're talking about?
>ultimate evil, satan, whatever. the big cloud guy is supposed to be the opposite of "god" (one above all).
It is an important distinction because until now there hadn't been any direct opposites to TOAA, while there have been many "devils" in Hell, none of them able to sit in the Throne. So it's not just "the Devil". If you want to read the book with both eyes closed be my guest, just don't project your lack of reading comprehension into others.

>Banner growing a pair and facing the Hulk was a neat moment, this shit in the other hand contradict it.
You do realize they're in Hell, right? And this was right after Banner dies once again and wanted to stay dead? Civil War II? There's a context for this shit.

>You do realize they're in Hell, right? And this was right after Banner dies once again and wanted to stay dead? Civil War II? There's a context for this shit.

Again, Bruce was supposed to be more though than that, once again he's being a pussy, once again he's being the vulnerable one. Bruce development is going nowhere, if Peter Parker developed like him he would be that selfish jerk he was in the early comics.

>So it's not just "the Devil". If you want to read the book with both eyes closed be my guest, just don't project your lack of reading comprehension into others.
You're such a pedantic loser it's unbelievable

>>I have the book open right here and you're lying
What are you talking about retard? Pic related is the last pages of issue 13. Where's this great escape you're describing? Devil goes whoosh (sorry, not the devil! I don't wanna give you anxiety!! ONE BELOW ALL! ONE BELOW ALL!), they shoot the shit, leave hell, Banner cries in a phone booth. fin.

>Again, Bruce was supposed to be more though than that, once again he's being a pussy
"A pussy"? Why don't you just admit you simply weren't reading the book and jumped right at that issue without context? Because there's a specific reason why he wanted to stay there and die.
>You're such a pedantic loser it's unbelievable
I'm pedantic because I called your ass out? Nice.
> Where's this great escape you're describing?
When did I say anything about "great escape"? You said, and I quote:
>I also know that there are like 4 pages following that announcement of people standing still talking to each other, with 0 sense of urgency.
And by then, after he delayed TOBA, they're already out of Hell into the real world. Why are you moving the goalposts? It's like you don't even know what the fuck you're trying to argue here.

>I'm pedantic because I called your ass out? Nice.
Nah you're pedantic because you did a "WELL AKSHUALLY" to say basically nothing. I can only imagine what it's like to be stuck in a room with you. Please stop replying to me

I can't help but laugh at that last page
>"IM IN A GLASS CASE OF EMOTION!!!!!"

Imagine if the star of Saga of the Swamp Thing was classic evil shithead Hulk. That's this series and it's great.

>"A pussy"?
Yes a pussy, read my first comment, he was the "insecure" one, he was frail and needed the Hulk when he did in fact show himself as tougher than the green one before, how many times do I have to repeat myself?
>there was a reason why he wanted to die
And he faced and overcame far worse before,from dying, watching his family die and facing the day his father murdered his mother all over again.

lmao, pussy

>Please stop replying to me
OK fine, I will.

>And he faced and overcame far worse before,from dying, watching his family die and facing the day his father murdered his mother all over again.
That was then, this is now. You not knowing what happened to him that caused that attitude is not the book's fault, it's yours. Deal with it.

>THAT page

I'm sorry about your illiteracy, user.
That's probably why you enjoy Immortal Cuck; it's got pretty pictures to look at, and you don't have to deal with the absolute cringefest of dialogue.

>Immortal Cuck
Oh it's you! Still buttravaged because the book not only didn't sink, but actually had MORE sales after #11? That's gotta hurt, babe.

No u

Just ignore that retard.
Every time he screeches "the context changes everything!", the context has made any given scene go from awful to hilariously shitty.

>Wat the fuck are you talking about?
If you're going to address me, type correctly.
I'm talking about you not knowing about him wanting to die because he felt he was a menace to society, and purposely asked Clint Barton to put him down, behind Hulk's back. He realized after his comeback that he couldn't die, so he wanted to seize the opportunity he had to stay dead. Too bad I have to explain this to you in such detail, because it was fucking obvious since Secret Empire, No Surrender, and now this.
Sorry, are you still here? Here I am *not* replying to you. And I'm sorry that you cannot be bothered to read twenty pages worth of content to understand the story.

>Hulk exclaims that he loves Banner.
This is one of the odd things that came out of this story. Since when did Hulk like Banner? What about all those years where Hulk hated puny Banner? What happened to that?

Again not contradicting my point, we're walking around circles with you implying that I didn't read the comic because I disagree with you even though nothing in the comic contradict my statement.

It's pure kino and one of the masterpieces of the medium. If it's not on your pull list then you are not a true comic book fan.

>What about all those years where Hulk hated puny Banner? What happened to that?
Again, you not knowing shit about Hulk isn't this book's fault but yours. There's many different Hulk personalities inside Banner's mind, Devil Hulk is simply one of them. Next issue has Joe Fixit behind the will, another Hulk altogether. Are you going to say his attitude is "contradicting" too for not knowing this?
Look, if we're going to walk around circles like this, may as well dance.

Yeah, they're all at DC reading Heroes in Crisis, Naomi and Doomsday Clock. True comic fans know this!

>inb4 "uhhh they dropped DC too!"
Too late fag, you culture warrior dumbasses always betray yourselves.

Doomsday Clock is an unironically good comic

Sure, I mean, the three issues already released over the last 2 years are a testament to its quality.

>Here I am *not* replying to you
That was someone else.

>There is only Marvel and DC

If you unironically think that then you're unironically a fucking moron.

The Seeds is delayed out the ass too, can I not say that is a good comic either?

>being facetious over a single company only works when it's me who's doing it

The difference between DChads and Marvelcucks is that DChads don't unironically praise shit because it's slightly less smelly than other shit.
DChads absolutely hate the state of DC, hate what King has done to Batman, hate what Bendis has to to Superman, Wilson has done to Wonder Woman, etc.
Marvelcucks just garble down the worst shit on the planet, and try to convince everyone else that feces is actually delicious.
That's why I have sympathy for DChads, and none for you. Marvel will continue to be complete shit if this is the level of """quality""" you willingly accept.

What else are you reading?

>The difference between DChads and Marvelcucks
Stopped reading
Yeah, it is a good comic. I am just saying that DC doesn't really have much of a leg to stand on when it comes to quality series (and I purposely ignored Green Lantern, but there you go, only GL and IH are noteworthy when it comes to single character ongoings)

>You can't talk shit about MCdonalds without bringing up Burger King as well otherwise you're wearing a paper clown right now.

the absolute state of this fucking post. gtfo Yea Forums you memelord

Got distracted by your BLACKED.com tab?

>Can't talk about Burger King because that means you like McDonalds, as if Wendy's and KFC didn't exist

Apparently you missed the entire last 8 years of everyone on Yea Forums laughing at each other when their favorite characters got killed off and replaced with token minorities.
The only difference is that some of those writers went to go fuck up DC instead, while Marvel has remained as awful as ever.

>but there you go, only GL and IH are noteworthy when it comes to single character ongoings)
I'd throw Conan the Barbarian in there too. That thing has impressed the hell out of me. Though it isn't a superhero book.

All I'm really reading from this is that Marvel readers actually enjoy what they're reading while DC readers perpetually whine about each and every creative decision being made that isn't just shameless nostalgia pandering, while continuing to read it each and every week despite hating it.

I mean, who's the bigger cuck there?

shut up idiot

>the entire last 8 years
It was 2 at most.

Miles replaced Peter in 616 back in like, 2011 or 2012.
That was the start of it, and almost everyone who unironically thought these were good ideas still work for Marvel.

Uh guys I like both Marvel and DC but can we just ignore the guy?
Clearly he’s just baiting for (you)s.
Is Immortal Hulk picking up after he died?

>Miles replaced Peter in 616
No he didn't. Peter never died in 616 nor got replaced in his book, they both had their books at the same time. Way to talk out of your ass there.
>Is Immortal Hulk picking up after he died?
Yes. He comes back to life officially in Avengers: No Surrender, and since then it's been a standalone series.

>The only difference is that some of those writers went to go fuck up DC instead
Yeah, it's Bendis' fault that DiDio's given the Bat Franchise over to King and Lobdell, two of their worst writers. It's Bendis' fault that Justice League has been a trash fire since Rebirth started and continues to be a trash fire. It's Bendis' fault that Wonder Woman fucking crashed and burned under Robinson and continues to crash and burn under GWW. It's Bendis' fault that The Flash has been consistently awful going back to The New 52. It's Bendis' fault that DC tricked its readers in to trusting them again with false promises and not only didn't follow up on them, but rubbed it in their faces for believing them in the first place. It's all really Marvel's fault that DC has gone to shit.

You sound like an angry dcfag mad that everyone recognizes Hulk as the best comic right now while Green Lantern isn't even a top 5 DC comic right now which says a lot because DC is shit.

unpopular opinion: i enjoy reading comic books

Low,Aliens, Isola.

WOW me too!

>Image trash and movie tie-ins
lol, don't throw stones in glass houses m8

I take exception to King and Lobdell being clumped together. The man still wrote Omega Men and Vision. Nothing Lobdell ever wrote can sniff that. Tynion is the name you should have named. The dude has never written a book better than "" guess that was alright"

>Peter never died in 616 nor got replaced in his book, they both had their books at the same time. Way to talk out of your ass there.
Why lie in such an obvious way?
OH, I'M SORRY, IT WAS 1610, NOT 616, THIS MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD WHEN IT COMES TO PETER BEING REPLACED BY MILES.

>It's all really Marvel's fault that DC has gone to shit.
No, it's DC's fault for hiring the same writers that ruined Marvel.

i think we're the only two people in this thread who do, it's kind of a shame

Scott Snyder ruined Marvel?

Same. It's indeed controversial to enjoy things others don't.

Again.
Miles.
I actually used to enjoy elseworld stories, but they've mostly been ruined by merely using them as trial runs for shit that they ruin by bringing into the prime universe canon, instead of just letting them be a good stand alone story.

I mean it does since if you didn't like it you could literally just stop reading it and pick up the series that did have him in it, which was still ongoing and still readily available for purchase.

Mister Miracle was great as well

Is Civil War a good event guys?
I’ve been reflecting on it a bit and now I felt it was too edgy and went way too long. Some scenes gave me Blackest Night flashbacks and it never impressed me.
I just don’t like Tony and Cap nor do I like what they did to speedball.

>Image trash
Image is not like Marvel and DC where their comics will follow the same direction. You will have to judge each comic by itself.

But yeah, you would say "comic from company X is bad!" No matter what.

It was pretty bad. Only good thing to come out of it was the Nova semi tie-in where Richard acknowledged how stupid it all was and used it as his impetus to fuck off back to space.

>moving the goalposts
You literally said Miles replaced Peter in 616 in 2012, then proceeded to get all mad when corrected.
So let me reiterate: no, Miles didn't replace Peter in the prime universe 616, it happened in Ultimate (1610), and when he was transported to 616, he still had his own book separate from Peter's.
Hope that helps!

Image also has Invincible, which is one of the few good capeshit comics published in almost a decade.

>How dare you get my marvelcuck lore wrong!
Miles was pretty much the starting point for the SJW era of Marvel, from which it still hasn't recovered from.

Who ever thought Penance was a good character should be thrown over a bridge. I hate that trope of turning a jokey character into some ultra-violent vigilante.

No, it's amazing how it can fake substance, is it really just because of the quotes?
I've given up trying to seek answers from the cult this comic has spawned, they unironically think the art is unique looking experimental stuff.

Stop using that word, you don’t know shit.
Don’t lump me into your group dickweed.

I've got no complains about the art.
But it sure as shit isn't good enough to save the dogshit story and cringey political soapboxing.

Stick to Venom and War of the Realms. I hear Maximum Carnage or whatever is gonna be DOPE!

Miles' entire gimmick is that he's black, and "HAS EVEN MORE POWERS THAN THE OLD OUTDATED WHITE SPIDER-MAN".
That is literally fanfiction.net levels of fucking retarded, and nothing you could possibly post will ever change that.

>Stick to Venom
Well, I would, except the last time I read Venom is was some dumb shit about "god of the symbiotes", and, oh yeah, FUCKING MILES gets shoehorned in there AGAIN.

>"HAS EVEN MORE POWERS THAN THE OLD OUTDATED WHITE SPIDER-MAN".
If you mean the Venom Blast, Spider-Woman literally has had that power for way longer. So nope, you just don't read comics and are seething over some harmless legacy character that, unfortunately to you, won't go anywhere.

I’m sure Penance was supposed to be a completely different character but the writer mixed speedball into it, expecting them to mesh well together.
Its like adding water to oil.

I hated venom space knight and this “god of the symbiote” too. Don’t care about Miles being there thiugh.

There isn't really much "cringy political soapboxing", you're probably just falseflagging like a bitch. The writing does indeed lack depth despite pretending like it's a literary classic. Nothing about it is particularly dogshit, average as fuck art and mediocre writing that pretends to be deeper than it really is, only the praise it gets is insufferable.

>Kirkman
>Good

Don't forget his incredibly overpowered ability to hide. Truly the gods themselves tremble.

Haven't read it yet but I'm sure it's good

Everything except for his Batman and that stupid event have been good. I can forgive him for the event since events are targeted towards retards.

Everyone says it was bad but it was entertaining as all hell and when I'm reading a superhero book sometimes I just want a big dumb popcorn comic, and as far as I'm concerned Civil War is a top tier popcorn comic. Ultimates too.

>overpowered ability
Because venom blast sure as fuck isn't an overpowered ability.

>The writing does indeed lack depth despite pretending like it's a literary classic
Do quotes confuse you this much? Wow.

Even this comic is about Hulk beating the shit out of Sasquatch, Avengers and other monsters.

No, where did I say anything about being confused? You know, you're only proving my point about the insuferable cult the comic has with posts like this.

Those scenes are epic tho.

You're the one thinking it's pretending to be a "literary classic" only because it has quotes that are related to the story at hand. I don't get that impression at all, specially when it's a very horror-focused story.
It reminds me of the dumbasses who were like "hurr this quote is so pretentious" last storytime when it was literally used in one of the sites with deadly toxic waste as a warning, relevant to the Hulk.

Attached: Screenshot from 2019-04-17 02-07-02.png (718x492, 245K)

It has dumb deus ex machina and lack of world building in some cases. Like with toba it happened out of nowhere except that we now know that gamma rays can open extradimensional gates. It also has shitty time skips. And a lot of it is just other6characters.

Was Solomon Grundy inspired by the Hulk?
Also Fun Fact: Like the Hulk Grundy has many personalities. When the current Grundy dies he gets ressurected in the Swamp but with a completely different personality and body.
Thats why he can appear, Dumb or Smart and Strong or Hulking.

It also tries to sound smart and profound with references to writings. And it succeeds when brainlets read it. But it's not a bad comic.

They were treating Tomasi's Superman run, Tynion's Tec, Lobdell's Red Hood and Outlaws, Humphries GL, Jurgens' Action Comics and Percy's GA as masterpieces too, a while back.

>Tomasi's Superman run
I remember this. People were all over the clouds with the whole issue about Superman and Batman spending a day off with the girlfriends, changing clothes and shit. Wow! Quality book!

I think this puts into perspective why Immortal Hulk has been so well received. Look at the absolute trash that mainline superhero readers consider good. Look at that list of comics.

>You're the one thinking it's pretending to be a "literary classic
No, it's what I see in every thread discussing the comic so I assume that's the reason because the actual writing is as deep as a puddle.

>People were all over the clouds with the whole issue about Superman and Batman spending a day off with the girlfriends, changing clothes and shit. Wow! Quality book!
That was a Batman issue, and it was actually a lot of fun.

>No, it's what I see in every thread discussing the comic
So you don't even read it, got it.

Oh god the revision of opinion on Tomasi's run has just been embarrassing since Bendis took over.

>it's a very horror-focused story.
It really isn't.

What revision? That people liked it, or it wasn't good?

>It really isn't.
Whatever you say.

Are you one of those people that accuses every person that doesn't like that run of being Stephfag or something? There's this one guy on Yea Forums that can't come to terms that there isn't a hivemind consensus on Tomasi's Superman and it drives him crazy.

Wait, Miles's Venom Blast is INCREDIBLY powerful and has knocked out high tier people with a tap. Moreover, he has also discharged it as a bomb around him. To boot, he can also go invisible.

He has every power old Peter Parker had, and more.AND he's popular and liked instead of being hated every day by the Daily Bugle.He doesnt have the Parker luck, he just cruises through life without issues, surviving even the end of all time and all reality in "TIME RUNS OUT".

Yeah, Miles is someone's beloved project. It's easy to see Marvel has him for the long run and plans to replace Peter again.Either that, or Peter will disappear/retire.

I'm starting think this board opinion has been fucked beyound repair by company war faggotry.

No single Marvel/DC comic will be considered good because company war faggots will spam "this is the worst thing ever" over and over.

Like I said, you're only proving my point for me when all you do is post "you just dont get it, it's too deep for you" and "you just haven't read it".

It was mediocre and dull, now people are treating it as the second coming of all star superman

There's a real lost opportunity with the coloring here to really set the mood and make it truly horror. Compare it to Dave Stewart's coloring or Francesco Francavilla. I like Immortal Hulk's pencils but it has a pretty tame color palette, not seeking to deviate too far from what the other books in the line look like, to its detriment.

Only the first three issues were somewhat horror. It hasn't been horror since then, just Hulk punching antagonist of the week.

Now this is revisionism, people at the time liked it, no one called it a masterpiece but most were calling it "comfy and fun"

Different user, but I've seen several people refer to it as one of the best Superman comics ever, and some even as THE best ever. We share a board with these people.

I'm sorry that I'm repeating myself, but you simply can't help proving MY point that you're projecting some sort of reading onto the book that no one but you have, because I've never heard anyone calling it a "literary classic" before.

>Yeah, Miles is someone's beloved project.
... Bendis
>It's easy to see Marvel has him for the long run and plans to replace Peter again.
If it didn't happen when Slott left Spider-Man or during Civil War II when Bendis wanted Peter killed, it won't happen anytime soon.
>Either that, or Peter will disappear/retire.
Yeah I'm sure they'll retire their A-tier character that keeps sales afloat.

>It hasn't been horror since then
Whatever you say.

Nobody is saying it's the worst thing ever, just that its mediocre.

>just that its mediocre.
And that's just your (very flawed and wrong) opinion, and thankfully no one else shares it.

Its all bait.
One of them was a guy from Yea Forums got mad after a bunch of DC guys ganged up on him for hating Doom Patrol.
As evident by most of these threads they probably don’t read comics.

I don't think it's revisionism. The people who liked it at the time are the only ones who still praise it, and the rest are indifferent or hate it.

Miles showing up is a sure sign a comic is about to go to complete shit. I don't think there's been any exception to this rule.

This post genuinely made me laugh.

I share it.

You sound booty blasted. Sorry mate, but nobody shares your shit opinion.

>projecting
Ironic, because that's all your posts amount to and I think I made that especially clear in my previous post. Honestly, the fact that you used the word projecting now says a lot about your intelligence.

>No single Marvel/DC comic will be considered good because company war faggots will spam "this is the worst thing ever" over and over.
Because neither have put out anything worth reading in years, except for maybe that Darth Vader comic, which has absolutely nothing to do with the rest of nuMarvel.
This isn't "company war faggotry".
This is DC fans going "The utter state of the industry is fucked, including DC", and marvelshitters going "BOY, I SURE LOVE CONSUMING POOP!"

Not an argument. Keep seething.

The writing is not the best, but the art is straight up trash. Someone like Foreman might've been a better choice on this than Ultimates.

What's wrong with the writing? And can you explain it without referencing the quotes, so we can see if you actually know what you're talking about?

Not an argument. Keep shitposting.

The argument is nobody shares his opinion.

He is wrong because plenty of people do share it.

Keep seething.

>except for maybe that Darth Vader comic
And you think you're in authority to talk? Fucking hell, you shit tasted baboon...

It's shit, m80.
I don't know how things work in your SJW circles, but nobody here is going to pretend to like this comic just because you keep samefagging about how "good" it is.
All you've done is convince people to never believe a marvelfag's opinion about anything ever again.

I can only imagine the type of discord tranny to unironically diss one of the only good comics Marvel has published in almost ten years, while praising this retarded SJW shit.
Be honest, do you look like Benjamin Franklin, but with a gaping flesh wound where your penis used to be?

>seething

Based Yea Forums chad putting the Yea Forumsck suckers in their place.

Not him but you going about trannies once again like one of these obsessed culture warriors just tells me you're more interested in whatever anti-SJW crusade you got going on instead of actually reading comics, and once again confirms you're one of the imbeciles rooting for this book to fail.
Here's the kicker: Vader's book was only good for its last arc, otherwise it was mediocre and formulaic as ANYTHING Star Wars. We're talking 3-5 issues out of 25.

Then stop doing a ridiculously convincing discord tranny impersonation.

>muh discord tranny
I gotta wonder what's next after you ran beta, cuck and soiboi to the ground. Obviously can't use incel, given that it's a double-edged sword.

>Obviously can't use incel, given that it's a double-edged sword.
Yeah, because that's what discord trannies use as an insult, despite the fact that nobody is lining up to fuck their dilating flesh wound.

>107052215
>muh dilation!!
Pathetic and predictable. Don't reply to me again.

Go dilate and/or 40% yourself.

So let me get this straight- according to you and a few other speed-readers, it's only horror if it happens to someone other than the Hulk and Banner? The last bunch of issues have been things happening to Hulk that causes him to feel the emotional reaction 'horror'. Him and anyone else that's been dragged along, like Crusher Creel or Sasquach.
No one is safe. Not even Hulk. His only plot armor is being immortal. And he's very unhappy about it.

What even is horror to you, retard?

It sounds like that asshole hasn't even watched Batman Beyond if he considers this to be "horror", even as far as capeshit goes.

It's body horror to the T, but you're the same shitposters that have been lurking this thread for a while because there's no DC books for you to talk about, so why do I bother replying?

BB is horror?

No, that's his point. This retard doesnt understand what horror is so he calls Immortal Hulk horror thinking it makes the stupid comic look legit.

>BB is horror?
Is this a serious question?
Practically every single villain in the entire series gets a "bad end", and I don't mean "le go back to arkham" kind of bad end, I mean actual goddamn horrifying end.

Yeah, 'liked it'. It was passable, Tomasi is good at writing comfy, but comfy only gets you so far, and when it came to writing actual superhero stories he consistently was passable at best, terrible at worst.

You wouldn't know that from current superman threads here, where I've routinely seen it called one of, if not the greatest Superman run ever written, which it is fucking far from.

But Immortal Hulk is indeed horror. Don't be fucking daft, imbecile.

Well that is scary but its more of a thriller and less horror imo. Villains just get their just deserts.

No it's not you fucking retard.

It literally is, it billed itself as such, it has body HORROR up the ass, the tone is horror through and through, and there's barely any levity. Just fuck off.

Attached: 1436642930809.jpg (358x361, 23K)

Yes, exactly! And the same things are happening to everyone in Immortal Hulk, but some readers have this giant blind spot about it because Marvel and Hulk somehow equals "nothing is bad because the hero is strong."
People are ripped apart, loved ones are threatened or die, all their fears are coming true. And yes, massive body horror PLUS the schizophrenic mental version of body horror because Bruce will never be sure what part of his brain he's going to be thinking with.

You're a fucking retard if you think IH is horror.

>Its literally run-of-the-mill SJW nuMarvel shit

I don't know about that, the hulk isn't in upscale new york surrounded by coffee shop friends as he decides on his sexuality.

Im not even joking. How many msrvel books have had that plot im recent years?

And what do you think it is, and why do you think it?

I'm only a retard for replying to your stupid nonsense. Fuck right off already.

>Hurrrr Hulk isn't an inherent part of Banner's own psyche

Fucking dumbass.

No, they're not, and you're not fooling anyone.

It's capeshit.

>loved ones are threatened or die
Holy shit, it MUST be horror then.

This is some very dedicated shitposting. I wonder if it's gonna be like this in the next storytime, though I doubt it, sounds like some high functioning Eurodumbassery.

And all capeshit follows the exact same genre conventions and never deviate in tone or content at all?

The more likely explanation is that you're not fooling anybody.
I'm #1, btw.
No idea who #2 and #3 are.

Fooling whom about what? The fuck are you on about?

>delays determine the quality of the story.

Please, user. Stop being retarded.

>immortal hulk shills continue to be illiterate
Is that literally the only way anyone can enjoy it?

I see you're being deliberately obtuse. That's OK though, DCfags have nothing going on for them today, so I expect them to annoy people in threads like this.
Enjoy your Naomi, though.

This isn't "company wars".
You're just a literal cuckold.

Nice try but that post reeks of companyfaggotry.
Enjoy your Naomi.

DCfags dont pretend to like Naomi.
Thats what makes marvelcucks cuckolds.

But user, Naomi is a DC book by the premier writer Brian Michael Bendis, current writer of Superman and Batman in the near future. By all means it should be right up your alley.

>But user, Naomi is a DC book by the premier writer Brian Michael Bendis, current writer of Superman and Batman in the near future.
And everyone hates it.
That's the difference between them and you retarded marvelcucks.

The recent JL book issue was nice.
I think its going somewhere now.

It's generic capeshit.

And why is it generic?

No surprise the amerifat can't stop talking about food.

Girls, girls, you're both ugly.

Are Bizzaro Roxanne?

>discord tranny

I don't know how it's possible but somehow you people have managed to come up with even a more pathetic supposed insult meme than onions. If you really think the person in question supports the trans community or whatever, how exactly are you insulting or even get a bait rise out of them by calling them one? It makes you look like a four year old that just shouts words they don't understand and then giggling to themselves.

>I heard it makes hulk part demon or something which sounds shit
that's the Devil Hulk, one of the many Hulk personalities Bruce has and he predates this comic. Also the Hulk being supernatural isn't anything new.

Also this not the best that I've read but it's one of the few comics that is entertaining and the writer is passionate about and he knows his Hulk lore too.

>onions

Banner has different Hulk personalities, this isn't THAT Hulk, it was a Hulk Banner was afraid of so much that he didn't dare release and only came out after he died.
Yea Forums is not a hivemind.

yes

ok thanks

I feel kinda dumb that I didn't realize earlier that Bushwhacker is also basically a body horror character due to his gimmick.

No, that's just what Yea Forums has become. Npc tier "conversations" like that.

Fuck you retard, I love Immortal Hulk and the MCU.

lol lol epic come back, upvoted!!

>I actually used to enjoy elseworld stories, but they've mostly been ruined by merely using them as trial runs for shit that they ruin by bringing into the prime universe canon, instead of just letting them be a good stand alone story.
Isn't this only a handful of stuff from a dead universe?

>can't find the downvote button
>writes upvoted ironically
Pathethic

The art on this page is good, but Hulk just looking completely gobsmacked always gives me a little giggle.

is Immortal Hulk actually good?
no

Next issue is next week, right ?

Nope, next issue will come out the 15th of May.

That’s not exactly it. “Devil Hulk” is a reemerging pre-existing personality Bruce had buried deep but came out after the crazy ultra-destructive Hulk HYDRA unleashed. The new addition to the lore that’s associated with demonic stuff is the “Green Door” that is associated with all Gamma radiation in Marvel. It seems to be an explanation for why Gamma turns people into monsters sometimes instead of just killing them.

Did I miss one ? I stopped at Joe's reveal

Devil Hulk has always loved Banner and wanted to protect him. It’s everyone else in the world that might hurt Banner he wants to destroy.

See Go and stay gone.

That's the last one so far.

people see that speech and claim it's SJW bullshit when it was more the Devil Hulk being such an extreme Parent to Bruce that he is willing to kill every human on the planet to make sure a human never hurts Bruce again
