Ben: That's IGN. What are they doing reviewing comics?
Sal: *HONING IN ON MY TERRITORY*
I’m shocked that Sal didn’t bring up the fact that this book is outselling Batman the last few months.
I laughed when I heard that! I find immortal Hulk more entertaining than Tom King's Batman anyway
It’s the best selling comic series rn isn’t it? That’s what I heard. Hulk hasn’t been best selling in YEARS
Hacksaw Jim Thuggin you fuckin serious I didn't know that I gotta start reading more of Immortal Hulk thanks for that one man
Tom King's Batman was so bad tho.
Update :- its back to normal
"He smashes, he doesn't, like, rape."
-Sal
The best comparison of Hulk and Mr. Hyde I've ever heard. 😂
Smash = Consent! Lol
Took me a while. Hyde doesn't rape in the book either, only in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Vol. 2.
@@bacsilva I think he meant that
So, hulk smashes woman?
MJ Regan except in the ultimate universe
The original Hulk idea was that Banner transformed at night and was a Jeckly/Hyde allegory. It was later changed to his heart rate going so high, and then his anger, and there are plenty of times in which he just transforms at will. It seems that each persona of the Hulk has its own triggers but Banner passes from one to the next without stopping without one for long.
Also, as a former gas station employee, I've had people drive off without taking the pump out of the car, override the auto-shutoff and then complained that they overfilled their car and spilled gas everywhere, people regularly steal gas, the list goes on. It isn't hard, the problem is that all customers, myself included, are insanely stupid.
At 7:27, the sheer look of horror on Sal's face for that split second he thought Ben had become a sadist. That made me spit out my water.
Classic Back Issues Sal & Ben! lol
Lmaooooooo
I... I have work tomorrow... There is a turmoil inside me unlike anything I've ever felt before.
PriceyYeti40 lol I have to be up for work in 4 hours and feel your pain
same, I can't watch this right now but i've been waiting so long for the Comic Pop gang to cover this and I was excited to see this on the twitter poll. I didn't think itd win
Nothing like a 5 am back issues with a cup of coffee *sip*
Stand still buddy *shoots you in the eye with an arrow*
Back from work, let’s go!
That short tirade about pumping gas in New Jersey is the kind of stuff that makes me watch this Channels content so habitually. Already another great episode
I love how they work together when making jokes and go along with it all in like with the Delbert license plates Simpson reference. Man true bro relationship goals
Now that Al Ewing's run has completed with THE IMMORTAL HULK #50,it'd be great if they covered the rest of it!
Sal, can you summarize all the Hulk personalities in a future video?
Not World War Hulk. Please God No! The Rejected and Sexually frustrated Hulk trying to Horror Assault Wasp. Ewwww.
Chi Sasa you mean ultimate hulk?
JAYLON NEELY 👍
@@chisasa9509 wait what
@@chisasa9509 that's ultimate hulk
I've been saying for the longest time that Al Ewing is Marvels secret weapon, now look at him. Writing a Hulk book that's outselling Batman
also the fact that batmans current run is shit helps
Ewing is a master! Never met a Ewing book I didn’t like!
Ewing is a GOD. Been following him since Loki Agent of Asgard, one of my favorites!
Kevin Rivera Loki Agent of Asgard was a great book
Lengowski: What am I doing, dabbling in gamma?
Banner: *H O N I N G I N O N M Y T E R R I T O R Y !*
This book is the first series I've followed as it's released from the beginning. I'm so glad it's made it on to the show. Today has been a pretty crappy day and this is the best thing to lift my spirits
I hope you feel better soon.
Hope things get better! 👍🏾
@BavarianRev sadly no. Been doing digital. I dont have the room for a whole series collected physically
One year later...I hope things are excellent now.
So it starts with the fact that the Hulk is immortal, that already makes me want to read it.
It only gets better and better
We have a Lovecraftian Hulk here (except Lovecraft would be rolling in his grave knowing the Hulk with his non-white, green skin is our hero) who's dealing with a metaphysical door created as a byproduct of Gamma Radiation which has ties to actually Satan...
But the truly horrifying thing that's blowing everyone's mind is that we can't pump our own gas here in Jersey.
Just need John Carpenter to direct the film
Just some guy with a mustache I was just on l ur channel and look what I find. A recent comment
Being completely fair, Bruce Banner is the perfect lovecraft protagonist. White Male coming from a economically decent family, somewhere on the east coast, who is also a psychological mess due to a history of child abuse and being haunted by an other worldly horror birthed from his own body. Now he wanders, a fugitive from the law as he seeks the only thing that can help him, pumping his own gas in New Jersey, for only then will his soul be truly at rest.
The rest basically writes itself.
No u
I don't think Howard would have an issue with Hulk being green necessarily... Moreso the fact that he was created by two Jewish authors, that sounds more like him.
Really nice surprise to see something so current being covered! Love Immortal Hulk! Today’s issue had so many deaths 😩
I’ve never been really into the Hulk up until this run. Al Ewing has absolutely killed it, absolutely phenomenal!
Comic Idea: on the run and in need of money, Bruce Banner use his gama radiation degree to make “gama meth” with the help of Rick Jones in a Mobil home, call it “Breaking Hulk”
have fucking grey hulk be the main persona too since hes a gangster that shits tight
Dylan theVillain
Breaking Mad or Smashing Bad
Sal's rant at 5:58 about the gas pumping was great. I've always lived in areas where you have to pump your own gas and the few places that do offer to pump gas for you charge you extra for that. But yes, there are a lot of people out there that should not be pumping their own gas let alone be driving a motor vehicle in the first place.
Well he was being sarcastic I think. I’m pretty sure he believes most people can handle pumping gas on their own.
@@TheGotenza I know he was joking, he brought up Zoolander as an example when talking about. But there are little truths behind jokes. I cannot tell you how many times people have driven off from local gas stations without removing the pump hose first. It got so bad that one station has signs all over it saying check before you drive off.

A. Carter i wish hulk was like this in the mcu I feel like the MCU ruined the Hulk Hulk used to be my favourite character of all time i liked infinity war and endgame but i hated what they did to hulk he is a fucking joke in this movie i wanted to fucking rage i felt like i was gonna hulk out when I first saw it I was just thinking of Mr Jamison laughing when Peter asks him if he could be paid in advance i dont even concider it the hulk he talks to much i hate the whole idea of proffesor hulk I hate how it looks he looked more like shrek mixed with amadeus cho who i fucking hate buy the way and streve urkel with the stupid fucking glasses I was just thinking he was gonna say what are y'all doing in my swamp the CGI was fucking horrible terrible people think hulk 2003 is bad I like that movie people say they talk to much in that movie yeah about why he is the hulk and the meaning behind it and how bruce banners nightmares are hulks reality it gives him More emotional depth then ever before every time he hulks out it has a direct connection to the hidden memory he suppressed he has these hidden memories of his father killing his mother right in front of his eyes at a very young age and every time he hulks out he is clearly working through an emotional state in his mind the nanobots heal what ever hurts most when you have emotional pain the brain registers it the same way as physical pain so when he has emotional pain his entire body hurts and the nanobots go to fix the problem but they dont just heal it they make it stronger then what it was before so the more pain he has the stronger he gets It was due to all the emotional pain he goes through that made him the hulk the movies qbout the dangers of suppressed emotional truma and the effect it can have on the people around us i dont get way people hate the movie their the same people who hate batman and robin for being to goofy and haveing no plot at all and the same people who praised the dark knight for a very in-depth plot and character development and the same people who praised the first two x-men movies and logan endgame and infinity war so many missed opportunity no rematch with thanos no fight with cull obsidian How about Hulk vs Thanos round 2 How about Hulk vs Cull Obsidian How about something Anything The Hulk didn't even fight in the movie he has no healing factor I feel like they have been dumbing down the hulk To add to that Endgame also made The Avengers movie Hulk goofy When Tony, Cap, and Ant-Man went back in time at the end of The Avengers movie Endgame retcons Hulk into talking more and there is the big joke about not taking being able to take the elevator and having to take the stairs and ever since Disney bought marvel they have been stripping away any sort of emotional depth from him completely removing his abusive dad from his past in that deleted scene from Thor ragnorock instead it's ah we where perfect family but I missed my dad die because I was working too much where is his emotional depth the abusive father is what made the hulk the gamma just unleashed him for me I want to see Bruce Banners struggles like the stuff Edward Norton wanted in his movie you know the stuff that was cut for me the best hulk is eric bana proffesor hulk is the opposet of what stan lee wanted him to be a scary fearful monster i liked how they embraced it in the eric bana movie the whole scary fearful monster thing and even making references to other monster movies like king kong frankenstine even the t rex from jurrasic Park Godzilla and when they thoughtfully turns the Hulk’s characterization into a deeper metaphor for trauma the dramatic back story of bruce banner with his dad killing his mum and the phycological drama stuff make it even scarier so eric bana is my favourite hulk and i like how the eric bana film he is like an unstoppable force of destruction in the mcu besides the first avengers movie he seems very weak and in the super hero squad witch i hated to death and in all the disney xd shows witch i fucking hate to they make the hulk a mentally retarded thing For me the perfect version of the hulk would be a hybrid of the el Ewing immortal hulk with the horror themes jeph loeb marvel knight hulk grey avengers earth's mightiest Heroes hulk because we get to see a different side to the hulk that we normally don't see where he is more intelligent but not professor hulk still a monster the hulk vs animated movie wolverine and the X-Men hulk from the Christopher Yost Animated Universe Earth-8096 the first season of the 1996 fox kids the incredible hulk cartoon from the marvel action hour of Earth-534834 for its really really dark tone and mature content and character development its sad they changed it for season 2 ultimate avengers earth-3488 hulk Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction Earth-TRN008 peter david the incredible hulk last call the 1977 incredible hulk bill bixby and Lou Ferrigno live action tv show from Earth-400005 created by Kenneth Johnson with the hulk being like the 1931 Frankenstein and it being very realistic and feeling more like a drama being based off the victor hugo novel Les Misérables not the fucking musical the novel i think it works for the hulk the first hulk movie with Eric Bana Earth-400083 with the dark phycologycal themes the Bill Mantlo run for establishing a man with a full range of emotions just a lot less control of such emotions He's not dumb but rather his brain can be clouded at times He can tap into the intellectual half of himself into Banner but clearly doesn't like doing so preferring to rely largely on instinct on strength and savagery and for introducing the great crossroad storyline and Peter David run David reshaped the inarticulate slab of the Hulk into an action-packed psychological study Bruce Banner and his opposite were fully-realized characters locked in a fascinating tug-of-war that dragged the readers through studies of personality disorders and abuse The history of childhood abuse that Bill Mantlo had introduced for Banner, David made clear and integral. Bruce's father had abused him and his mother eventually killing her planting the hidden-away pocket of rage that would become the Hulk As David wound their way through throwbacks to horror comic origins emotional drama and nuclear allegory the guiding concept was revealed Banner had serious emotional problems and an intense personality disorder and like all of us he had to deal with it and the Greg Pak run mainly planet hulk and world war hulk and with a very dark horror disaster thriller body horror monster found footage movie feel with fuck loads of jump scares and Mark Millars ultimate hulk with the idea of him being a villainous menace with a homicidal like rage and is shown to be unhinged lewd sadistic violent ruthless and very very cannibalistic you know when He often eats the remains of his opponents and is more of a murderer and the savage hulk from 616 and the Mindless Hulk and the worldbreaker hulk no one should be able to fuck with the hulk even if they kick his ass he comes back for revenge and goes besurker with blood thirst savage gorrila like rage like a loose cannon and i would want it to be an NC-17 rated or in australia r18+ rated with lots of body horror just scary as all fuck like the hulk should be and the idea of what hulk 2 was gonna be before it was canceled it was gonna focus on Bruce Banner's epic struggle with his inner demons, resulting in the emergence of an evil, gray-hued Hulk and It was on gonna be set on a Native American reservation and it was all about radioactivity and it was really political i wanted to see that so badly hulk is a character I reckon should be dark like daredevil punisher and batman and very horror like i want the hulk to be scary as fuck again frightening as fuck not this stupid fucking steve urkul glasses wearing shrek looking motherfucker
Right. Wondered if Sal had mentioned it and I just didn't hear it. Maybe he forgot or doesn't know?
This is easily the highlight of my week, and I haven't gotten a minute into this episode lol. It's also fun to see my home state (Minnesota) be featured in Marvel book, albeit as a place where four doctors are savagely murdered by a mindless beast.
It's the most incredible book I've read in years. There's nothing like this in the market. Being a huge fan of the Hulk, it's like I'm in heaven. :)
I love immortal hulk such a amazing series.
Same
@@cheeseburgerfreddy6350 indeed
Literally just started really reading Marvel this past week after having been just reading DC for about 5 years and this is one of the books I looked at going to pick up this morning. Timing could not be any more creepily coincidental
Anybody else have mad respect for ComicPOP for the Young Animal Milk Wars milk carton on the set?
Immortal Hulk is so good, and Sal you're absolutely right, I wasn't a big Hulk fan before (I liked the character but didn't really check out any Hulk stories beyond the Planet Hulk movie) but man, Immortal Hulk actually makes me want to go back and read some more Hulk stories
Also the art is just phenomenal, I love how body-horrory the Hulk transformations get later on in the run
This was such a great episode! Ben and Ethan really hit Sal with a gauntlet of Hulk questions and all of their tangents were hilarious. Also I love the lighting in the background!
I think the best thing about Immortal Hulk is that they managed to find a new angle for the Hulk while still staying true to everything that's come before. It seems like it shouldn't be able to happen anymore, but every once in a while there's something like this that works. I've been meaning to get around to it, and now I think I will.
I hope they come back to this someday, it was a great run.
If I'm not mistaken, he also transformed by night in his first appearance.
Lee and Ditko didn't quite know what to do with him yet, so every other issue they'd change his transformation.
I remember him building this bunker in a cave to lock the hulk up when it was night. During the day he'd have Rick Jones let him out.
Also he jumped over the Pacific ocean. Then bragged that he could hop further if he wanted to.
The first 12 Hulk stories were pretty wild.
@24:52 😂😂😂 Had me cracking up at that part. "Oh I know something about this!"
I like the idea of the immortal hulk not being a killer. It makes sense in a way that an immortal who has chosen to be judge, jury, but not executioner for the dammned. Why would he view death as a punishment, something that will forever be denied him, something he can only briefly experience before he is brought back to his mortal coil, assuming there is anything to experience at all. After a time, life itself would seem the much crueler curse, and thus a horrible one full of pain is a more befitting punishment to those he judges.
Read the series to see if he never kills
Omg the Walter Langkowski/Bradley Cooper/roommate/journal tangent made me audibly & actually LAUGH OUT LOUD, no lol needed! Kudos gentlemen! 🤣😂🤣
This is the third good thing to come out of Civil War 2.

Avengers No Surrender and War Of The Realms.
The hulk personas, include Classic savage hulk, Grey Joe fix it hulk, Professor hulk, which is hulk with Bruce’s intelligence, Green scar the planet hulk era hulk, Doc green which is Bruce in hulk’s body if I remember right, The devil/ current immortal hulk, and evil secret empire hulk that is currently in the subconscious prison that immortal hulk use to be in.
Is it confirmed that this immortal Hulk is the devil persona?

So happy to see a book I’m currently reading featured on Back Issues! I’m in love with this book, it’s an amazing run of the Hulk. I’ve never been one for the Jade Giant, but this book has made a True Believer out of me!
I loved the “and they were roommates” vine thrown in there lol
38:38 Never in a million years did I think I'd see the "And they were roommates" video on Back Issues.
"I never knew anyone who needed that much Breaking." -that would be an Awesome quote from a Hulk Villain.
No lie at 38:37 I thought of that meme when Sal said "and they were roommates" and you guys did not disappoint :D

Parts of this sound similar to the Bill Bixby Hulk TV show, including the aimless wandering and a "nosey reporter" after the Hulk. (Who I think was also called McGee.)
The fact that Sal knows the indie movie Swiss Army Man and references it happily-Sal you’re my hero. Enjoy some popcorn!
Do more Hulk please.
Gotta say I am loving this book. I liked the beginning best, when it is more like a good horror comic (kinda reminded me of swamp thing back in the day), and wasn't wrapping in continuity and other marvel universe characters.
I hadn't seen read any of the events you said we needed to know....but I had watched the back issues.
Excellent Wrath of Khan reference!
'magic is just science we dont understand or fuckin whatever" lol ethan always cracks me up
I'm not the biggest Hulk fan, but I loved Planet Hulk and I'm loving Immortal Hulk.
I actually have to give Benny at Comicstorian for getting me into Immortal.
10/10 back issues
would recommend
It's a shame you guys didn't get further into this book. Next issue he fights The avengers has that famous line where he says that's my secret I'm already dead. And then you have the fight with absorbing man where they cut the hulk into pieces and put them into jars. I like hulk from before with planet hulk and world war Hulk but immortal hulk really hooked me on the character. It's a shame that they cut this version of the hulk short.
I'm loving Immortal Hulk, favorite run since Peter David.
This is straight up one of my favorite comic runs of all time. I think it is perfect. It is by far my favorite bulk comic. I really hope you guys revisit this someday.
New Jersey Gas tangent , Bradley Cooper Tangent, and they were roommates vine , this episode is probably my favorite lmaoooo
Part of me really wants a video of just all the times Ethan tells us that's not how something works all clipped together
Man, I love this book. And the reactions from the guys were both expected and incredibly funny to me.
Also, that "A Star is Born" tirade tho...
I like that the interior artwork by Joe Bennett is just as impressive as the covers.
It's been a few months since Immortal Hulk concluded. I wonder if you guys will ever cover the other nine volumes. It's one of my favorite runs in the Hulk's history. I would love to see you guys talk about the story and how it grows larger and larger!
Serious Insidious vibes. Especially with the door concept.
Rarely is there an episode of Back Issues where I've already read the arc (patiently waiting for Mister Miracle) so this was a nice treat. Immortal Hulk might be my favorite Marvel book right now. It's up there with Miles Morales and Daredevil.
Immortal Hulk is such a great story man
Lol am I the only one who envisioned a Hulk version of the movie Roadhouse when they were talking about him working at bars?
I honestly can't believe Sal put that meme in here but i fucking laughed out loud, that was great
FINAALLLYYYY! My fave marvel book and hulk books in a long time! I was waiting for you guys to cover this book, and hopefully the rest of this series! Your reactions and commentary is priceless!
The character McGee in this book is also a reference/based on the character Jack McGee from the old Hulk TV show with Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno. He was also a reporter who was on the Hulk's trail throughout the midwest
"That's not how radiation works, but okay" - ComicPOP out that on the next trade
The Immortal Hulk, probably the best thing Marvel has going on right now. So happy to see it covered here!
I have loved Ewing since Loki Agent of Asgard, which was freaking great
I'm glad this came out the day after I bought the trade. I was really confused yesterday of how the Hulk works now. Thank you Sal and the gang!
The last Hulk book I've read was the World War Hulk book,but great review. I'll pick this up
Mrs Magee don't make me angry, you wouldn't like me when I'm angry.
Who was the ride along reporter. Surprised anyone was old enough to remember the TV show. Good call
Please do more of the immortal hulk. This episode was awesome 👏
ComicPOP coming in clutch
Love that the book had all those Lou Ferrigno tv series incredible hulk references
Best Hulk run since Peter David’s.
... This was a really good refresher. This is all still relevant, BTW. Holy crap is this story good.
Hahaha Hahaha that "leave the journal open bit" had me dying 🤣🤣🤣
Any chance we can get more immortal hulk on the show?
You cant pump your own gas in New Jersey? Really? Oh wow, learned something new on Comic Pop like always!
I mean you can....sort of. But there is a person and when it is below 32 degrees, I feel badly for them...but also like I don't want to be cold. 😉
“& they were roommates” made me shit myself laughing!
Oregon didn't change...well they did change, but it's only at night and in remote locations.
I have to say having lived most of my life outside of Oregon, and moving here only a couple years ago, that is one of the most frustrating parts to adapt to...waiting on someone to pump my gas when I know how to do it myself.
Yes, I can safely say that this video of back issues is indeed, moist.
More of immortal hulk pls!
You guys add a lot of depth & relevancy to your podcast I enjoy hearing your podcast. I think you guys should write a immortal hulk 1shot
When we gonna get volume two of Immortal Hulk.
53:19 How did he do that sound so perfectly XD
I LOVE this episode just for the New Jersey/gas pump bit alone! 😂 I felt the exact same way the first time I left the state 😝
That scene in Zoolander haunted me for years. Before I got my license, filling up the tank was a terrifying endeavor.
38:39 I would love if this show started sprinkling in random memes and gifs as their referenced. Maybe some movie clips too if they're not legally trouble-enducing
ComicPOP called you out. Your move, Lady Gaga.
New and I think this show is great, you guys are like the RLM of comic books
What you going to do brother. When the Hulk and Sal run wild on you.
The journal bit killed me! You guys are too funny
What Sal said when Ethan asked him if it makes sense and he says the thing about metaphysical doorways and chicanery in gamma rays then yeah it totally makes sense. Was the funniest thing I heard all day thank you guys
I just traveled to Oregon recently and I never knew you couldn't pump your own gas there or in New Jersey lol.
Idk how true it is, but apparently if you did pump your own gas, and someone were to complain about it, it's the gas station that actually gets in trouble. I'll just choose to believe that's true because it's hilarious.
Yeah, those and I believe a few other states are called "Full service states", where you have to have someone pump your gas for you. I live in a "self service state", which as it sounds, means you get to do it yourself lol. Granted I'm not exactly sure if the call them that, that's just what I've always heard them called.
DO MORE IMMORTAL HULK PLEASE!!!!
Alan Ewing has a love for the original series. Dell Frye is a character from the 1978 show from a two partner in the 4th season called The First. Oh boy....I am dating myself!!!😂
Once you mentioned Magee. I immediately thought , " don't make me angry Mr.Magee, you won't like me when I'm angry. " classic hulk quote
