With the success of Immortal Hulk, I'm glad to see Marvel doubling down to give us new and unsettling stories with this creepy part of the Marvel Universe. This one-shot is special, moving from pure terror to shining hope. It's the kind of horror that can chill you to the core one moment and then bring a tear to your eye the next. This is one of the best one-shots of the year. Read Full Review

IMMORTAL HULK: THE THRESHING PLACE #1 is the perfect symbol of what the Hulk truly is for mankind and the balance he brings to fallen humanity. I strongly recommend the read and purchase. My hope is that many take notice of this issue so that maybe the baton can be passed to Lemire and Del Mundo after IMMORTAL HULK ends following issue 50. Read Full Review

There will always be a level of fear when a successful character/book falls into a different creative team's hands but not only does Lemire and Del Mundo show this title justice, they have left me wanting so much more! Whether you're a Hulk or horror fan it's an absolute must to pick this issue up! Read Full Review

The Immortal Hulk: The Threshing Place is the perfect Hulk story both for readers who loved the classic monster version of Hulk and for those who have enjoyed the recent run. This is a version of Hulk that's terrifying and yet holds the preciousness of life dear. This is a story about how an untamed monster finds justice in a world where justice is hard to come by due to the nature of protected entities larger than ourselves. Read Full Review

A hodgepodge of different Hulk type scenarios wrapped up in a nice little package. This title doesn't hold back and we get the feel for the original character and how it was done in the early '60s with a touch of the cinematic versions including Lou Ferrigno's take on the character but with a modern sensibility, all while keeping the current savage persona intact an awesome read and enjoyable.

Immortal Hulk: Threshing Floor is an interesting and rewarding side-story. Its creators are mindful of the main book's tone but unafraid to explore their own spin on Devil Hulk and Bruce Banner. If you like the Immortal Hulk -- particularly the early, episodic issues -- you'll love this throwback tale that could easily be added to the first trade paperback. Read Full Review

A decent Hulk story with incredible and creatively fresh artwork Read Full Review

You can almost hear the sad piano as this issue ends, but it's a really well-developed vignette with the added layers of The Green Door to make it more tragic. Really quite good. Read Full Review

When all is said and done The Immortal Hulk: The Threshing Place #1 delivers a serviceable story. If it was a simple filler issue in an ongoing series it would be worth picking up just to keep a collection intact. As a stand-alone one-shot, however, I cant really find any compelling reason to go out of the way to pick it up. Its not bad, but there is plenty out there that is better. Read Full Review

The Treshing Place is very similar to Great Power. Not a vital part to Immortal Hulk, but still an excellent comic with great writing and art. And no, having Lemire write this doesn't make it worse than Ewing's issues, it still fits to the story Ewing is telling.

This one-shot is super close to the first 2 issues of the Immortal Hulk (which are still my favourite in the series). What to say here... Great art, even if sometimes it's weird. Plus the story was emotional and interesting. I really wanted more stuff like that in the main series, but Ewing decided to use more characters and sometimes force really weird ideas. Well, I think I really want more grounded Hulk stories even if it looks like an oxymoron. P.S. Yeah, I can agree with everyone, that Lemire went a bit edgy here and Hulk shouldn't kill THAT much, but it can be explained. I mean... A little girl is still a little girl, so these people are absolute pieces of shit.

I have obly read Immortal Hulk up to 15(which i dug). The story is very simple but equally effective. Mike Del Mundo is MVP cause he is very underrated on the art front!

It was good. A bit off with some of the murders even if Hulk has done so in the past but off with Immortal a bit. Not important as far as I can tell to following the main series. Del Mundo is great as usual!

Besides hulks big forehead it was pretty solid. I enjoyed it but it didnt have much purpose.

Not a necessary one-shot. Jeff Lemire's Immortal Hulk is *serviceable*. Although, I really don't think he should be killing as much as he does in this story. In the main series, I only remember him (intentionally) killing once and there was a huge point made of it. The art is great though.

Bruce Banner and Devil Hulk work together (sort of) to solve a rural murder mystery with a Gamma twist. It's a nifty blend of the old Incredible Hulk TV show and the episodic adventures from the start of the current volume. Devil Hulk's body count is gratuitously high, though. And while this plot satisfies during the reading process, it's all too likely to fade sooner rather than later.

I really liked the art in this. The story was... very murder-y.

Art is solid besides Hulk’s face. Story was eh. Not much to say

As others have said, this felt too casually murder-y. And I'm unimpressed by the art -- it's unclear in places, like the page where it seems that the Hulk has torn off the monster's head, and the transformation page in the jail cell was... ambitious, but silly.
