Easily one of the most consistent and ambitious books in the Marvel publishing lineup, Immortal Hulk continues to punch even outside its considerable weight class. Read Full Review

While our characters get closer and closer to the Green Door, we also get some revelations about the Devil Hulk. These revelations bring up more questions than answers. Ewing has toyed a lot with the idea that something supernatural is at play in these events. He's also played with the idea of whether or not the Devil Hulk is one of Banner's many personalities or something more. Ewing's story is ambitious but it can honestly say it's confusing at times. Sometimes your not sure what is happening or if any of it makes sense. However, while it can be hard to follow, the revelations usually pay off within the next few issues, so I'm confident we will get some answers. Read Full Review

Immortal Hulk #11 delivers important, incremental revelations as it approaches the core of this title's new mythology. The One Below All, the Green Door, the Hulk, and Bruce Banner - their final relationships are still to be revealed. This issue is a slight drop down from #11 in terms of characterization, art, and plot development. #12 is a slow chapter in a story that remains an absolute must-read. Though it is not the title's best, it's still a Hell of a ride. Read Full Review

Colors for this series have been so good and this issue was no exception color gave this issue such a dark feel. Bruce's dad's an asshole such good writing you just hate him so muxh. I love the studies of Satan. Perfect issue again for me.

Definitely on the of best issues of this series with lots of theology and additions to the Hulk lore.

That actually made me feel some emotions, which is cool. Also in this time second artist wasn't bad imo. And now I see, that Bruce's father from Hulk 2003 was actually a canon... Not only because of abuse and his wife's death, but also because he was a scientist.

The absence of Walter Langkowski, Carl (Bushwhacker) Burbank, and Shadow Base is noticeable this time. Even though the main conflict is still compelling, it was the exceptional character moments in the previous issue that gave it the groundedness it needed. Here, in IH # 12, it's not as effective. Hope Judd, Creel, McGee, (and Walter) get through this. Disturbing, partly in a good way, partly in a not-so-good way.

The Hell-trapped Hulk and his friends close in on a climactic confrontation with Brian Banner and the One Below All. It's a quiet issue in terms of plot development, but the character work is as superb as ever. And a rare thing for any sort of comic: There's a lot of thought-provoking theology here. Al Ewing casts a wide net in his search for divine parallels to apply to the Hulk's dual nature as hero and monster. Endlessly fascinating.

Not much actually happens this issue, despite the great narration and black and white pages. Joe Bennett and the art team are the best part of Immortal Hulk 12. Really wish the “Green Door” was something more interesting than hell, a place Marvel comics have visited 100x over

"Because that's who I am" And "The Father of the Year" award goes to..., not Brian Banner. But after this issue, I understand perfectly why Bruce developed mild anger management issues in his adult life. Brian explains to his son, and to us, his motives, views and basically why he is an evil a-hole. And thanks to Ewing's great writing I get his viewpoint but I still don't have a single ounce of sympathy for him. We also get to see that the Devil Hulk and Banner are not the only guys trying to have one hand on the steering wheel. As for the art here. Well, the last page sent a chill down my spine. Literally. Grinning Devil Hulk proclaiming that he is the breaker of worlds is an extremely creepy image. Great work.

Not entirely sure what's going on. And the narration is starting to get pretentious, with reused art. Are we getting some unnecessary padding? Nice to see the classic Hulk, though.

These are the issues I get lost on. Am I missing things because I dont knoe a lot of Hulk history? I'm not sure. The art is great and I get the overall plot but, I feel like I'm missing something.

This book quickly stepped into a very poor man's Alan Moore to me. The narration tries so hard to be profound, yet says nothing. Bruce Banner's dad is entirely unsympathetic which is not a sign of a good character, even contradicting himself at times by worrying about his wife's health and later faceplanting her.
