Immortal Hulk #45 Review by (April 7, 2021)

Review: Each cast member gets a couple of pages to shine and it actually seems to advance the plot a little bit. Again, I’m carried along by the character drama and weirdness, not sure I’m getting everything Al Ewing is telling us but it’s a fun ride.  

Comments: There’s a reference to St. Peter David beer, a nod to the celebrated former Hulk writer. The inkers are Ruy Jose and Belardino Brabo.
