Immortal Hulk, Volume 6: We Believe In Bruce Banner by Al EwingMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Immortal Hulk Volume 6: We Believe in Bruce Banner collects IMMORTAL HULK 26-30.
In this volume, Bruce Banner releases a manifesto, saying humanity can't survive under its current systems and singles out disaster capitalism in the form of Roxxon Oil! Social media mobilizes a new Teen Brigade of Hulk supporters. Roxxon recruits some monsters of its own...
Is political horror a genre yet? If not, it should be after this. The Minotaur embodies everything wrong with today's flavor of capitalism and is one of the slimier villains I've encountered in recent years. Pitting him against the unstoppable force of the Hulk is a no-brainer. My only gripe with this book is that it's very decompressed and seemed like it was over before it really got going. Xemnu the Titan is prominent on the cover but is on maybe three panels in the entire book.
I've officially run out of ways to praise this book. The Immortal Hulk is one of the smarter books on the racks and the horror approach to The Hulk continues to amaze two and a half years into the run. Al Ewing and Joe Bennett continue to produce the best Hulk run in decades.
