You Don't Read Comics - Christopher Landers
Jun 12, 2019If you're a Hulk fan, and you haven't been picking up this book, this might be the one to start with. Yes, it's in the middle of a story, but it can't be beaten for sheer insane storytelling and visuals. Read Full Review

Comics: The Gathering - Charles Martin
Jun 12, 2019The Immortal Hulk continues its impossible streak of chaining together brilliant issues one after the other. #19 is a terrible, triumphant dance that tramples the line between heroes and monsters. It delivers meaning and spectacle aplenty, but it teases the reader ever onward with the promise of even more to come. Read Full Review

Newsarama - Adrian Care
Jun 12, 2019Immortal Hulk #19 is an absolutely harrowing issue that shows us the monster inside isn't always the worst part of us, but that sometimes the most horrifying damage can be inflicted by those close to our hearts. Read Full Review

Black Nerd Problems - Chris Aiken
Jun 14, 2019Don't even get me started on the last panel/page of the book. It is the most unsettling imagery I have seen from the series so far. It just feels like Bennett's talents were made for this story. Read Full Review

Comicsverse - Aaron Berkowitz
Jun 12, 2019THE IMMORTAL HULK #19 is the most heartbreaking issue of the series. It delves deep into Betty Ross' wounded psyche. Al Ewing crafts one of the most beautifully tragic books in Hulk history. Joe Bennett draws the Red Harpy with so much rage and sadness, it's haunting to look at her. Read Full Review

Beyond The Panel - Jideobi Odunze
Jun 12, 2019Something did come, and it definitely did wear the face of a friend. We may not know what the hell happened when this friend found her target, or even who her true target is, but it was all chilling. Immortal Hulk #19 continued to genuinely shake up what you define as a monster. If you ever thought the Hulk was up there as the stuff of nightmares, this story continues to prove you wrong time after time. Read Full Review

The Abomination/Hulk fight forms the background for Betty's full arrival in the story. It's a special sort of nightmare, even by this title's highly-refined standards. It is fire and fury and shame and pride, and it rockets instantly to the top of the list of "all-time greatest Harpy comics." The words are as subtle and effective as the visuals; while the latter lay bare anatomical horrors, the former slice into Betty's psyche like instruments of torture. A fearsomely, shiveringly, keep-you-up-at-night good comic.

Most horror this series has had yet. The damage Hulk takes at the hands of Abomination was just nasty. Seeing what Betty has become was badass. Her killing spree for me was the highlight of this issue. Seeing hulk cry for help was a close second but it's the way Bennet portrayed Betty and those talons ripping off heads it took me by surprise, so hellish this comic truly is horror.

A perfect comic, aside from the fact that it might stand well on its own (ie if you didn’t read 15-18)

"I am not" I've been reading this one since issue one, so I like to think that I am pretty used to disturbing imagery Joe Bennet is serving with every issue. Yet seeing Hulk like this, defeated and helpless, was really something. And what Betty/Harpy did to him was truly unexpected. I like what Al Ewing did with her. She's intelligent, vicious and compassionate(?). And her design is just breathtaking (You're breathtaking!). Awesome job. One more thing and it's something I can't help. Every time I look at this new Abomination I think about Boris The Animal from the Men In Black movie. Every time.

IMMORTAL HULK # 19 is the first time the short, 2-week interval between issues has affected the book, detrimentally: the art is uneven and the story is unfocused. The inkers aren't on the same page, which gives this issue an uneven, rushed quality to it. Although the Betty-Harpy sequence is fairly consistent, this should have been a book primarily about The ABOMINATION versus The Immortal Hulk. The Alex Ross-cover has The ABOMINATION on it. The fight promised to be epic. And it should have been shown. Moreover, the tight pacing and plotting that has characterized this series up to this point is starting to disappear, as if the direction and focus of this story-line is being tampered with. The inclusion of McGee and Betty-Harpy seems shoe- horned into this issue, and it isn't set up with the usual clarity and believability that had been one of IH's most reliable traits. And that is more than disappointing; it is a disservice to one of the few comic books worth being published. This is a title where the regular creative team should be helped instead of hindered. The true monsters are the ones who shoot innocent civilians in the head, who wear military garb while neither protecting nor defending anything, and who create ABOMINATIONS that they should ultimately regret creating. more
