Jorgen reviewed Immortal Hulk Omnibus by Mark Waid
If you came for the politics, don't bother.
4 stars
I was pitched on this series as having interesting politics, and when I started reading it, that was an honest pitch. On the whole, however, it's a rugpull on that front. What do you expect from Disney, i guess. It redirects toward metaphysics reasonably skilfully, so the turn doesn't hurt as much as you might think, but there definitely comes a moment of "well, let's not get too carried away" after which the story firmly steers away from being as transparently radical as it promises to be earlier on.
