For the 1st time, I skipped your spoilers. I have never read immortal hulk. When it was ongoing, I heard so many rave reviews that I KNEW there'd be an Omni. I want to read this run in its entirety without knowing whats gonna happen. So excited for my copy to get here!!
It is quite the ride. I got onto the series later into the run where it was a few trades deep to catch up. I can only imagine it being greater now due to being fully united at last. Everything just flows together so well. I hope you enjoy the series and the characterizations.
One of my most anticipated omnibus of the year ! So glad this is coming out ! This run was a scary good time while dealing with REAL life lessons like facing your past, fear, anger, and most of all, forgiveness. Right on Al Ewing ! I hope this pushes Marvel to finally get Bruce Jones Hulk the omnibus out now. Another amazing overview Omar !
This is a highly anticipated omnibus, luckily I pre-ordered the standard cover and it will arrive in the next week. I love Joe Bennett as an artist combined with Paul Mounts (color artist). I think the standard cover looks way better than the DM variant, the colors really pops in the background but the DM looks much cleaner. As for the spine it's equally. Last but not least, under the dust jacket is one of the most beautiful hard covers I've seen, Alex Ross kills it with over 50 amazing covers!!
I told myself I didn't need to buy this book. I already have the issues and don't need to rebuy just for the sake of a larger size. Seeing this video and the art made me realize how important this book was to me in regards to the Hulk character. Placed my pre-order for the book just now.
I've been excited about this Omni since I first heard about the series being Hulk + body horror. At the time, I just didn't expect it to be in this format so soon. I preordered it from CGN fairly recently, and it's allegedly on the way as we speak, though I won't believe it until it's in my hands. Apparently, this thing sold out pretty quickly.
@@curtisc2581 I usually do preorder at the last minute so I can spread out my purchases, but this one definitely scared me into rethinking that strategy.
My copy is coming tomorrow from Amazon. And I'm happy to find this channel, you got a new subscriber. Plus, I'm happy to have omnibus of She-Hulk, and my boy, Wonder Man!
Late on this but love the new intro! Very excited for this one. Always appreciate when you show where the omnis fit in chronological order. Thank you again for an incredible overview Omar!
I was upset when it got pushed to August, but if you have a review copy, then this must mean that I'm definitely getting it this week!!!! I started buying the individual hardcover volumes, but after I saw that they just kept coming, I decided to wait for the Omnibus. I've been waiting for this book for so long! I'm almost through with volume 2 of the "Preacher" Omni, and I'm jumping straight into "Immortal Hulk" directly after.
I like how the standard cover is an homage to Neal Adams' Superman from Kryptonite Nevermore (Superman #233). It's fun when the big two homage each other.
Man, such a great run. I've been back and forth on whether i want to upgrade the 5 OHC's for the omni but i think I'm going to stick w/ what i have. I'll track down the Gamma Flight trade. As far as the various one shots, pretty sure they are in the event omnis so not really worried about that either. This is a MUST READ for anyone that hasn't tried it.
Organic priced books has a pre order release for November! Get it before it’s gone like last time! This one will look so nice next to my maestro copy coming in September!
My absolute favorite run of Hulk. I especially love what happens with Doc Samson and Sasquatch towards the middle of the run. Idk, it’s a fun idea and dynamic and I’m kinda disappointed it hasn’t been explored a little more by other writers. Really looking forward to getting this book and I’m hoping the stock situation is handled better than Spidey 2099 🤞
Can't wait. Gonna get this and sell my ohc's. I like that it has the extra material. I really wish the title included, "By Al Ewing." He deserves to have his name proudly displayed on an omni. His tenure at marvel has been awesome. Take care and peace everyone.
@@Jackfromshack This is true. I don't agree with the, "wouldn't be half as good," but I agree with the sentiment that this run is also Joe Bennett's. He was the perfect artist for this run. I think the first half of the run was released tri-weekly and he did the overwhelmingly majority of it. I correct my earlier statement. This omni's title should include, "By Al Ewing And Joe Bennett." Nuff said. Take care and peace everyone.
Blind buy that I'd pre-ordered off Amazon came in today... (I know... took a gamble... arrived MINT!) This book is a beast! Though it's page count is about 300ish more, it's about the same "size" on the shelf as the most recent printing of The Death and Return of Superman Omnibus.
My DM variant will arrive tomorrow. Love this run. Now give us a "Marvel Universe by Al Ewing" Omnibus, collecting his various books that were cancelled before their time!
Ewing is like Hickman, he plants seeds for an overarching story in a run, that run is cancelled, then he gets a different title and continues the plot there But it would have to contain these titles: Mighty Avengers (Marvel Now!) - Captain America and the Mighty Avengers - Ultimates - New Avengers A.I.M. - U.S.Avengers - Avengers No Surrender - Quicksilver No Surrender (not written by Ewing, but it's an underrated companion) - Avengers No Road Home - Empyre - Guardians of the Galaxy - Ant-Man - Wasp - Defenders - Defenders Beyond - Avengers Inc. And material from Loki: Agent of Asgard, Immortal Hulk, SWORD, X-Men Red and Venom
Got my copy a week ago. The paper is quite thin, but that's to be expected given the page count/size of the book. I'm looking forward to re-reading this great run.
I wished you'd make a video explaining all the past references in this story, using the books you already have. I have almost zero knowledge of the Hulk universe, and I can't help but feel that I've missed some things that I could have enjoyed more with some minimal background.
Ewing wrote issue 3 to be done in different styles to drive home the point that the Hulk is a horror character. The point seems to have been missed if I judge on the basis of "The strongest superhero book there is" blurb.
I haven't seen anything in the solicitation copy about one nugget of a story and it's making my inner completist panic. There was a 4-page story by Ewing & Bennett in the INCOMING one-shot featuring Fixit-as-Banner talking with Samson. It appears to be collected precisely nowhere. I was really hoping Marvel would remember it and include it here, since the series isn't really complete without it. I'm hoping to be pleasantly proven wrong, but it's not looking good.
Two weeks before release is great! We just want to see the actual book/spines, etc so we can make more informed decisions on which version we pick up (for those of us who don’t preorder far in advance).
It's a shame that out of 50 amazing Alex Ross covers, they chose almost the blandest one... We should have gotten 3 covers with this, just like with thor and wolverine and the ulti spidey omnis.
I was slightly disappointed to discover that the fold out 4 page spread in #50 is shrunk down. It was included at full size in the TPB (don't know about the OHC).
I've got this in the 4 volume TBP collected editions so I'll likely pass on the Omni, but it is a great run all the same. The only thing I will say is that I don't know much about Hulk outside of the Bruce Banner persona, so the appearance of Rick Jones and Jimmy Fixit was a little confusing for me, as I didn’t know who they are, but it didn't spoil the enjoyment of this deep, deep dive
Seems odd, get this info from IST, yet Amazon currently has over 1000 copies?!?! Immortal Hulk Omnibus HC As of right now, both cover options are currently sold out and on backorder through the distributor. We believe that a new printing of the regular cover should be due out near the beginning of December but the variant cover is unfortunately out of stock indefinitely at this time.
Did the research, as best I could, and the Great Power trade paperback really doesn't seem to add anything to the main storyline. It looks like they were just cashing in on Immortal Hulk with a slapped together spin-off. Am I wrong?
Would anyone call this a good jumping on point for the Hulk? I'm a little torn between this and Planet Hulk. Either omnibus would basically be my introduction to the Hulk so I'm not sure which is better for me to pick up first.
Ewing's series is closer to the usual Hulk stuff. He's drawing on the works of Lee+Kirby, Bill Mantlo, Peter David, Bruce Jones, Paul Jenkins. Planet Hulk is enjoyable for younger readers.
Got my copy on Saturday and I'm about 40% of the way through it. Wonderful scary stuff. Make no mistake; this is not a superhero book, this is a very disturbing horror comic. Got to go. Some creepy influence is drawing me back to the book!
I haven’t been intimidated by an Omnibus this gigantic since Blackest Night!
Blackest Night was such a great read.
I am heading towards owning Immortal Hulk. I already own the beast that is Blackest Night.
Hulk has arrived to do what he does best - Smash people's Marvel budgets.
And Smash cheap bookshelves 😂
Damn it! Ur right! 😭
I want some Silver age Hulk/Astonishing Tales omnis
@@Robd07Hulk Omnibus vol 1 was reprinted last year and is still available. Volume 2 comes out in November!
@@NMan40 i got both covers being a nut for Vol 1...def want vol 2 and more silver age stuff never printed
Great run. Waiting for my copy. Now we need the cosmic stuff by Ewing compiled in omnibus format.
YES please! All of his Cosmic stuff has only gotten the "complete edition" paperback treatment so far...
I liked the beginning but then it fell off into nonsense imo
For the 1st time, I skipped your spoilers. I have never read immortal hulk. When it was ongoing, I heard so many rave reviews that I KNEW there'd be an Omni. I want to read this run in its entirety without knowing whats gonna happen. So excited for my copy to get here!!
Hope you enjoy it!
I've just placed my order for this big-as book at my LCS. I've not been this excited for an omnibus since the Marc Spector: Moon Knight vol 1 omni.
Gorgeous book! I’ve heard nothing but stellar things about this run, so I’m excited to go into it *mostly* blind.
It is quite the ride. I got onto the series later into the run where it was a few trades deep to catch up. I can only imagine it being greater now due to being fully united at last. Everything just flows together so well. I hope you enjoy the series and the characterizations.
Looking forward to reading the entire story! Fantastic art. Cool mystery. Can't wait!
This is my most anticipated omni of the year, I heard great things about this run.
thanks for the great overview as always.
Everyone needs to read this book, I can’t wait to have it on my shelf!
The size of this omni scares me.

Just Brilliant, Fantastic Art, Outstanding Story all wrapped up in a beautiful omnibus

I preordered it from CGN fairly recently, and it's allegedly on the way as we speak, though I won't believe it until it's in my hands. Apparently, this thing sold out pretty quickly.
I pre-ordered in April when it was originally solicited for a July 4 release. I really can't wait till it's in my hands either.
@@curtisc2581 I usually do preorder at the last minute so I can spread out my purchases, but this one definitely scared me into rethinking that strategy.
Good recommendation on great power TPB was able to grab it and dang those were good stories and fit this Omni very well. Also excellent review :)
Does it say when to read each story? I also bought both but havent received them yet.
This was my first hulk series I read. I feel like you needed to know what happened in civil war 2 to know some of what was happening.
Out of all the Omnibus I want, The Immortal Hulk. is the one I mostly want for sure.
Thanks Omar! Nice to see the build and paper stock look pretty good. I have the five OHCs but I’ve now decided to pick this up too!
Best Hulk run since Pak's. Definetly upgrading to the Omni
My copy is coming tomorrow from Amazon. And I'm happy to find this channel, you got a new subscriber.
Plus, I'm happy to have omnibus of She-Hulk, and my boy, Wonder Man!
Most anticipated Omni for me I can’t wait to get this tomorrow

Haven’t seen hype on a book like this a MINUTE! Can’t wait!
Thanks Omar, perfect overview gave a great insight into the story of the immortal hulk did this run justice keep up the good work
I like how the standard cover is an homage to Neal Adams' Superman from Kryptonite Nevermore (Superman #233). It's fun when the big two homage each other.
It's a great cover, as was the original.
this might be a hot take but this is probably THE best Hulk run 🤷♂
current run seems pretty good
Definitely a hot take. It’s hard to even put anything over Peter David’s run.
It's definitely on the same level of Peter David's run
Man, such a great run. I've been back and forth on whether i want to upgrade the 5 OHC's for the omni but i think I'm going to stick w/ what i have. I'll track down the Gamma Flight trade. As far as the various one shots, pretty sure they are in the event omnis so not really worried about that either. This is a MUST READ for anyone that hasn't tried it.
I've read praise for this run for years... Can't wait to read what all the fuss is about.
I agree. I think the normal cover is better. More Dynamic.
Gravity will be having a doozy of time pulling all those pages from the spine over time
Appreciate the review Omar! Love the intro you used too! My vote would be to do omnibus reviews the week before release if possible!
I am so tempted to get my copy, but wait to read it around October. 👻
Everytime I see one of this omni videos I feel like they are all a must have.
Picked up the head-shot version at my LCS yesterday. From everything I've heard, I can't wait to dive in...
Joe Bennett’s art is THE reason I will try to grab this…. absolutely gorgeous!
Organic priced books has a pre order release for November! Get it before it’s gone like last time! This one will look so nice next to my maestro copy coming in September!
November/December is the restock date from Marvel. I mention it in the video that it’s also just the standard cover.
ITS HERE
Buying this asap tomorrow!💚
The best omni reviews, bar none.
Great overview! So excited for this.
Best Hulk run since Peter David; I might have to grab this beast of a book
Grabbing this one for sure!
I probably have no choice but waiting for a future restock. The standard cover is already sold out in some major distributors. This is insane.
November I believe.
The cover you want will be available on IST tomorrow
@@UltimatePower01 thanks for letting me know!

@@Jackfromshack Nah, Bennett's art is great (even if he's a shithead) but Ewing is the genius behind the book
Most wanted book 😀 Great review
I took a guess at the page number after you switched to the spine view: 1600. Yay me!
Impressive, seriously.
I read the first 15 issues of this series, I've been waiting to finish this crazy and unique run for the hulk for when I buy the omnibus 👍

And material from Loki: Agent of Asgard, Immortal Hulk, SWORD, X-Men Red and Venom
I like both these covers but I feel there were better choices from the rest of the series. With some capturing the horror element of the series.
I’m sold!!!

Panini tpb has the covers full size so I have to keep them as well.
Im ok with ya still doing them the day before, unless we need a heads up for pre-orders or its too hard on ya. Domt want you to crunch.
This could have been two omnies! I'm stretching out the spine now, and.................I am scared how this is gonna hold up over time.
Spoiler alert : this is not going to hold up well... way too thick
Awesome review of the Immortal Hulk omnibus, Omar! SMASH (that LIKE button)!!!!!
I was slightly disappointed to discover that the fold out 4 page spread in #50 is shrunk down. It was included at full size in the TPB (don't know about the OHC).
hey omar,love your videos,can you tell me if captain victory and the galactic rangers by jack kirby is ever gonna get reprinted
think sooner the better or 2 weeks before, helps preorder and save on shipping cost.
I've got this in the 4 volume TBP collected editions so I'll likely pass on the Omni, but it is a great run all the same.
The only thing I will say is that I don't know much about Hulk outside of the Bruce Banner persona, so the appearance of Rick Jones and Jimmy Fixit was a little confusing for me, as I didn’t know who they are, but it didn't spoil the enjoyment of this deep, deep dive
Whenever I get an omnibus, the eye is never as prominent as shown in these videos. Am I meant to do something to widen the eye?
yeah ua-cam.com/video/P8jZjvpISv4/v-deo.html
Stretch the spine first 👍
Seems odd, get this info from IST, yet Amazon currently has over 1000 copies?!?!
Immortal Hulk Omnibus HC
As of right now, both cover options are currently sold out and on backorder through the distributor. We believe that a new printing of the regular cover should be due out near the beginning of December but the variant cover is unfortunately out of stock indefinitely at this time.
This is prob The Hulks best story.
Thank you Omar. A question, please: where in the mapping would the trade Immortal Hulk Great Power be placed?
Did the research, as best I could, and the Great Power trade paperback really doesn't seem to add anything to the main storyline. It looks like they were just cashing in on Immortal Hulk with a slapped together spin-off. Am I wrong?
Does this omni have the gatefold spread from the final OHC or does it just letterbox it to fit in a standard 2 page spread?
someone told me no gatefold spread 😢
Hulk Died in Civil War 2, Goes Through Hell!
That corner tho
what are the chances of a small uncanny x-men volume 2 restock this year?
the ebay prices are ridiculous 😭
This year? 0. It will come eventually but not until second half of 2024 at the earliest.
not gonna lie, this omnibus scares me
i want it but at the same time i fear for my life jksdfjksd
Absolutely loved this Hulk run! I have to be honest though. That Gamma Flight mini series was horrible!
Would you consider it an upgrade to get this when I have the 5 TPB?
Did they already sell out on the regular cover? Will there be a restock?
Yes they sold out. Restocks coming in November most likely.
Definitely feel this book was overhyped. Good not great
It's my favorite Hulk run, so for me it was not overhyped enough.
I've got the DM cover but it hasn't arrived yet, what's on its spine image?
Would anyone call this a good jumping on point for the Hulk? I'm a little torn between this and Planet Hulk. Either omnibus would basically be my introduction to the Hulk so I'm not sure which is better for me to pick up first.
Ewing's series is closer to the usual Hulk stuff. He's drawing on the works of Lee+Kirby, Bill Mantlo, Peter David, Bruce Jones, Paul Jenkins. Planet Hulk is enjoyable for younger readers.
both are great jumping on points. go for immortal if you want horror and go planet hulk if you want action
The first page look like Ran Xerox
Civil War 2 is hands down the worst event of all time. It’s worse than Heroes in Crisis.
Peak
Is this already out of print?
❤❤
Got my copy on Saturday and I'm about 40% of the way through it. Wonderful scary stuff. Make no mistake; this is not a superhero book, this is a very disturbing horror comic.
Got to go. Some creepy influence is drawing me back to the book!
Disturbing how? Would you say this is appropriate for a 12 years old?
Body horror, existential horror and so much more. I was reading David and Mantlo’s run by 12. Some was over my head but I still loved it.
I wouldn't have stopped my kids from reading it when they were 12, but there's some fairly gtaphic body horror and quite mature concepts.
7 times?!? 🤯
Advanced, came out 2 weeks ago in U.K.
Yes it did. Official release date is this week.
@@NearMintConditionahh okay, I’ve noticed we get Marcel books super early but DC later that release.
My vote is that the omnibus overviews should be done the week before they release, that way we know whether or not we want it before it drops. 👍
Does anybody know why issues 9 and 10 were not in this omnibus?
They are in there.
Where to buy i live in France any idea ?
Walt’s comic shop delivers to France.
@@NearMintCondition thank you 😀
I'm sulking until Marvel publishes the Gamma Flight issues in OHC format. ☹️
