Immortal Hulk, Volume 1: Or is he Both?

Ooh, a horror-style take on the Hulk/ Bruce Banner dynamic. They really nailed the Jekyll/ Hyde aspects of their relationship! I loved it, especially when the villains and plotlines for the comic were aligned to this genre exploration of the character. The art was great, interesting uses of green and consistent colours across people and landscapes. I liked the rural settings, making sense for the book's removed nature from the rest of the Marvel Comics. Definitely would read the sequel, curious about the Hulk/ death/ green doorway...

ehh I'd seen panels from this online and thought “yuh oh, this one sounds too grim for my taste” but then it caught my eye on the returns cart at the library and I thought “Wellllllll let me just check it out” and folks

it's too grim for my taste

It's billed as a horror comic and like...if you like that kind of thing...great. But I don't and I know that about myself and I tried to read it anyway! Oh well!

I did enjoy the brief college flashback in which teen genius Bruce Banner announces that he's given away his entire wardrobe and replaced it with 10 matching purple outfits because, like Einstein, he doesn't want to waste time deciding what to wear. So it's just FULL ON PURPLE EVERY DAY apparently god what a brilliant mind.
