If I have never read a marvel comic and don't know hulk to well besides MCU will I enjoy reading this? Really enjoying watchmen right now and can see me jumping into another graphic novel right after!!

Are you reading Immortal Hulk, one of the wildest Big Two comics in the stands today? I think you should (pic warning)

I think you still can although there are many callbacks. I cover some backstory in the OP
I'm pretty much in the same boat as you and I still enjoyed it immensely. There are references I wish I got, but even without understanding them it's been a great read.
For what it's worth if you sub to Unlimited then you'll get 15% off coupons weekly for Comixology purchases thru the Marvel web store.
Ah bummer, it looks like I can only read them with a subscription. I think I'll wait until the end of this run before I dive in so I can minimize what I spend, lol.
You can buy them on Comixology. Were you expecting to read them free?
Of course not. I didn't see an option for buy though. Is this similar to the Amazon Kindle app where you couldn't buy books through the app to circumvent paying Apple?
That's exactly that, with the same cause (the shift happened after Amazon bought CMX). You should be fine buying from their website or from Amazon (which usually sells Kindle + Comixology versions).
Glad I have unlimited, Hoopla has a decent comic selection but I feel bad using one of my borrows on something I can read in an hour or two.
Just caught up after someone recced this in the X-Men thread, and man, this is so disgustingly good. I haven't been interested in the Hulk for a very long time, but this whole series has really turned the tables on that. What a breath of fresh air for an arguably stagnant series.
I really hate the change to Marvel Unlimited where they send out a new 15% off code on Monday. It used to be a standing code (and I get why that didn't work) but it blocks purchases now.
Was going to grab the rest of the Hulk issues Saturday when I had some time but didn't have a code and not going to pass up 15% off.

It's monday at the beginning of the month, I think this is the day Unlimited gets the newest (six months behind) issue.
I'm bumping this because I just read #26. I love where this is headed and how Ewing is reusing an Aaron creation that works really well for this story.
Time to seize the means of Smash.

I like that they're going for that angle too, Green New Deal wouldn't be out of place as an OT title. If there was an OT.
Quoting this because it really deserves a signal boost. For less than a dollar, you get the beginning of the best current running arc.
I'm glad I finally saw this thread, I started reading after seeing this and went through all of it last night. It's been a while since a comic has made me unable to stop reading until I was forced to by there being none left so far.
Of course now I'm paying for it because I only got 3 hours of sleep last night.

You know, I always hate when people necrobump threads but fuck it, this thread is Immortal, and we were gushing about the book earlier in a thread about a hate movement, of all places.
So, if anyone wants to give the best book they're not reading a shot, every digital trade is 75% off on Comixology (with the HULK promo code). It lasts until Thursday 11PM.

Issue #32 just released.
It's totally self contained, telling its own story with the classic Hulk supporting cast.
Oh and Alpha Flight is there too.

Thanks for the heads up. Kind of curious to see the original discussion thread lol
It's an ongoing with 32 issues. I guess the only wider ramifications have been resurrecting a few characters but mostly it's been self contained.
So far nothing too big impacting the Marvel universe, but Hulks plan is to destroy human civilization, so my guess it's only a matter of time before this boils over into an event.
But yeah, this series is so fucking good, well worth catching up!
How much can i read on unlimited? not currently subscribed
+missed that promo reply somehow, thanks to both of yous.

Looks like Unlimited only has the first five issues. But as Palette Swap said there's a sale for 75% off the digital trades with the promo code HULK
I was actually just catching up on it on M Unilimited today. Man that art is so perfect for the title. Without Joe Bennett, it wouldn't work as well at all. And I like how, in the quieter talking head moments when all creepy horrendous hell isn't breaking loose, his faces actually kind of look like Gary Frank's faces. A fucked up creepy version of Gary Frank.
Gary Frank - 90's TIH:
Joe Bennett - current Immortal Hulk
Something about the facial proportions, the shape of the eyes, mouths etc. I notice it all the time in Immortal. But then he can also do the completely nasty horror that has already been shown a lot in this thread.
I love that both the writer and the artist are managing to make this book seem both totally new and cutting edge, and yet familiar and consistent too.

This is wrong. Immortal hulk is up to #24 on MU. General rule of thumb for all Marvel comics (excludes outside licensed stuff, hence no Conan) is they hit MU 6 months after hitting Retail shelves. For instance I am reading HOX/POX and they hit weekly in order same as release, just six months behind.
