The Immortal Hulk Omnibus

Background. In 2018, Marvel commissioned Al Ewing to create a new Hulk series with an unusual premise: to reinterpret the character as a horror comic. The premise was radical. By day, Bruce Banner is dead. By night, he returns. The Immortal Hulk was not just brute force but a supernatural entity, a Hulk who returned from the afterlife every night with an indestructible rage. The result was one of the most acclaimed runs of The Hulk in decades.

What’s inside. The complete run of Al Ewing and Joe Bennett’s The Immortal Hulk in a single volume: all 50 issues of the series, the Giant-Size specials, and bonus material. Includes the most memorable story arcs, the showdowns with Dr Strange and the Avengers, and the cosmic climax of the run. Full art by Joe Bennett.

Why it’s worth reading. The Immortal Hulk has been nominated for and won multiple Eisner Awards and is considered by many critics to be the best Hulk run since Peter David. Al Ewing blends body horror, existential reflection, political commentary and superhero action into a single package. Joe Bennett depicts the Hulk as an organic, repulsive entity reminiscent of Bernie Wrightson’s work on Swamp Thing. An essential contemporary cult classic.

Edition details. 1616 pages. Definitive collection of the complete run in a single volume. US edition published by Marvel Comics. ISBN 9781302949976.
