I love how there's just a jettison of light radiating from his face lol

Immortal Hulk #22 cover, it seems, by Alex Ross. As always, beautiful!

This cover looks great. I like the look of Red Harpy. Who is that with them? Is that Rick? I also hope Doc Samson is still alive.

Another great cover. I feel bad for Rick. Abomination looks horrifying. I wonder how the Immortal Hulk will react when he sees him. I also hope Abomination actually proves to be a worthy foe for Hulk & co.

Is that Rick, he is cradling in his arms?

I'm curious about his reaction too! About the new Abomination being a dangerous foe; I've seen a couple things (that I can't reveal now), and it's the stuff of nightmares...

Is that Rick, he is cradling in his arms?

Actually, you can see the Abomination/Rick in the low left of the pic. The person in Hulk's arms is Jackie McGee, from what I can see.

This cover looks great. I like the look of Red Harpy. Who is that with them? Is that Rick? I also hope Doc Samson is still alive.

Judging by the description it looks like it might be Rick, and it looks like he might be teaming up with Hulk and Red Harpy. Maybe his human form is also kind of messed up a bit as well judging by that picture.

Well, that answers the Samson question.

Looks like "Joe Banner" not only got a new suit but also a mustache...making him look of course like Brian.....

[Immortal Hulk]

Another thin I find interesting, and I probably wasn't paying attention before, is that Banner can not ever see his reflex in mirrors. It's always the Hulk on the other side!

Immortal Hulk #1 To Get Cheaper For Next Week’s Fifth Printing

And another Immortal Hulk #19 variant by Brent Schoonover

[ChrisIII]

I'm guessing that the two human faces represent not only Rick but Blonsky as well. I'm guessing the handhead is going to do a "facehugger" move on the Hulk as well.

[Immortal Hulk]

I believe the faces are going to be Rick's and Blonsky's too. It makes a lot of sense.

IMMORTAL HULK VOL. 4: ABOMINATION TPB
WRITTEN BY AL EWING
PENCILED BY JOE BENNETT
COVER BY ALEX ROSS
[I]Once upon a time, he was the Hulk’s best friend. Rick Jones was there at ground zero on the fateful day the Hulk was born. And during the early days when the Hulk was a mindless brute, Rick was the only one who believed in him. Now Rick is dead and gone — but his body has been exhumed and stolen! And the Immortal Hulk wants to know why. But to find the answers he seeks, Bruce Banner will have to face roaming gamma experiments and a ruthless assassin out for his blood — and the one thing that can depower the Hulk. As a pair of dead loved ones turned nightmarish foes hunt Banner on two fronts, the stage is set for a brutal three-way confrontation between the Abomination, the Harpy and the Hulk!

I am so hyped for Abomination Rick. That new design is absolutely horrifying and I love it. It’s odd that Blonsky himself has never gotten a revamp, the version of him I liked the most was the one in the video game Hulk: Ultimate Destruction. Wonder if Ewing ever played that?

That cover has gotten me thinking, when was the last time we got Bruce, Betty, and Rick all together? Feels like it hasn’t happened since PAD.
