This gotta be the new Abomination! From the shadows alone, it looks terrifying!

He's gonna be a true monster (in every sense)!

[PlatinumThorns]

Is it supposed to be completed blacked out?

[Immortal Hulk]

Is it supposed to be completed blacked out?

I believe so. We'll probably get its first glimpse in the next couple of issues, btw. Bennett said we would get a new version of the Abomination.

And it seems it's gonna be Rick or Samson!

Also, a hardcover!

IMMORTAL HULK VOL. 1 HC
Written by AL EWING
Penciled by JOE BENNETT, LEE GARBETT & MORE
Cover by ALEX ROSS
Is he man or monster…or is he both? You know Bruce Banner. He’s quiet, calm, never complains. He’s a scientist who believes he can use the darkest elements of his personality to do good in the world. If someone were to shoot him in the head…all he’d do is die. But the horror lives deeper. And the horror refuses to die. When night falls, something other than the man gets up again. The horror is the Immortal Hulk! And though he cannot die, the Hulk is being hunted yet again. By the government, by Alpha Flight, by the mysterious Shadow Base — and by the Avengers! But Bruce has even bigger problems. Something terrible has infected him. Something with unspeakable plans for humanity. And the only one who knows about this dark infection…is the Immortal Hulk! Collecting IMMORTAL HULK #1-10 and material from AVENGERS (2018) #684.

This looks very interesting. I'm looking forward to the return of the Abomination. His silhouette makes him look even more menacing than before.

Ewing's words about the cover

@Al_Ewing
Not sure who that second picture is of, but the first one is a new design by Joe - that's why it's silhouetted. It's literally TOO SCARY to reveal yet!

Only one issue in July? That sucks. Really looking forward to this character. My guess is it’s Rick Jones, he’s still dead right now correct? Bet he comes back possessed.

[Immortal Hulk]

I guess so, Vordan. But there's the possibility that it's Samson, who seems to have been brought back to life by the Shadow Base, imo. Let's look for some clues in #15.
And, yes, Jones is still dead so far.

As you've said, unfortunately the book alternates between 1 & 2 issues every other month, but that's a small price to pay for the awesome work by Bennett who's constantly amazing.

At least we'll have 2 issues in July ( I guess you meant June).

Ah yes I meant June. I thought the book was doubleshipping, interesting release schedule but it is great to have Bennett consistently on art. Books that are able to keep constant artists develop a stronger momentum imo.

I do agree with everything. As far as I know, from the early interviews about the book beginning february/march of the past year, the plans has always been a 18 issues/year, hence the schedule.

[Immortal Hulk]

IH #15 was great, as usual! Amazing writing and art!

It give us a lot of info about this Hulk. And his points of view, and, even more important, the way Banner may see him.

spoilers:

By the way, yes, it's really the Devil Hulk we've seen in Jenkins'run! But his motivations seem to be much more complex than being "I'm the Devil and I'll destroy the world for us!.
