Immortal Hulk #2

Liz says: Bruce Banner finally found a way to die, but the Other Guy won’t let him stay in his grave. The Hulk is alive once more, on the run and off the grid. Not wanting the world to know he’s back, he’s laying low in backwater towns. But it seems that wherever he goes, trouble always seems to follow…
The Immortal Hulk reads like a classic horror comic in the Creepy/Eerie vein. The first two issues have been done-in-one murder mysteries featuring terrifying monsters (Hulk notwithstanding). I love the idea of a horror-themed Hulk book, where the monster and the detective/crime-fighter are one and the same, and writer Al Ewing and artist Joe Bennett seem to be having a great time delivering just that. This is the most excited I’ve been about a Hulk book in ages, and I can’t wait to see where it goes next.
