Loved #50- truly a beautiful issue.Originally Posted by xcoijoi
I loved gamma flight #5 too, surprisingly! I hadn’t been loving it that much recently, as I’m a pretty big Emil fan and despite him apparantly being the main villain, he sure didn’t have the attention he deserved; 4 issues in and he’s only in 3 pages? Wtf? But that final issue was pretty damn good- Emil usually gets jobbed when he appears outside the main hulk series, but seriously he did the jobbing this time around!!
Not sure how I feel about the Gamma flight series as a whole, but whatever. I didn’t expect much out of it, and in some ways, I did enjoy it. But immortal hulk really is that lighting in a bottle comic series. It’ll be interesting to see what Cates follows it up with.

Surprised no one is talking about the big revelation.
spoilers:
end of spoilers
Sterns and Banner are related.
Interesting how that twins theory almost was true. Guess that really was a hint in a way.
Other fun stuff - The Proto Hulk appearance.. Berengetti's fate.. Jarella (and no Caiera! ha).. Beatrice's defiant fist echoing Bruce at his mom's grave.. Note the green door Robert closes on Beatrice.. Ben's comment about collecting the set
Glad I was wrong about Joe making the sacrifice play.. interesting how Cates status quo is with Joe and Hulk inside.Last edited by Cth; 10-13-2021 at 08:58 AM.

There was no resolution to the arc from IH 25 and the ninth cosmos. TOBA revealed to be TOAA seemed like cop-out or editor meddling as below place was explicitly stated to be the place where God does not exists in the start of the run. Also the whole tension of the arc seemed to vanish as how Hulk's gonna overcome it. Originally Posted by Jness

Its not really that major of a retcon as we have never seen the grandparents before. Felt out of nowhere and took too much page time out of the closing issue. Originally Posted by Cth

As resolutions go... shouting angrily at an uncaring god is... a resolution of sorts, I suppose.
Yes, that was spectacularly awful in a "small universe" sort of way. I really don't know WTF Ewing was thinking with that. Originally Posted by Cth

Shouting at an uncaring God who is also wearing the mask of the devil to mess with his own creation and then just lets them all go is a resolution I guess. Also all that torture made Banner confident, so that's something. Originally Posted by SanityOrMadness

do the good guys actually win in the end or is it heavily ambiguous/negative?

Savage Hulk also remembered her in Slott's mighty avengers run for some reason. Originally Posted by SanityOrMadness

When things are bad Hulk is the one who brings hope. When things are good Hulk is the one who brings horror. We do get an answer to one of the earliest questions raised in the series, “does God have a Hulk?” with that finally being answered here. Hulk himself got some answers but I am baffled that Ewing chose to not have Banner remember any of what happened in Hell. Guess that’s just the nature of the Beast, can’t change Bruce too much because Cates is taking over next. There were a lot of good callbacks, the parallels between Hulk forgiving Sterns and Devil telling Bruce he loved him was great. Originally Posted by Intothevoid

Overall I’m left feeling satisfied but not wowed which is still pretty good for a 50 issue series set in the mainline. Definitely ordering the Omnis when they are released.
Cates up next. I’ll give the first couple issues a shot and see what he’s bringing.For when my rants on the forums just aren’t enough: https://thevindicativevordan.tumblr.com/

Its a victory by TOBA/TOAA not caring enough for some reason despite doing it for nearly 50 issues. Originally Posted by Hypestyle

Ends on a callback to the first issues ending which is the complete opposite tone wise. That was very sinister and unsettling, #50 ends on a note of hope and optimism. Originally Posted by Hypestyle

Devil's remerged with Bruce - remember Bruce was hearing him whisper in his ear when Joe went red? And Bruce talks about "absorbing his shoulder devil" at the end. It's like when Bruce was killed off in Aaron's run, and it turned out he was remerged with Hulk. Originally Posted by Vordan

A lot of stuff are non answered, like the ending of #25: what happen in the future ? We have seen that the universe is destroyed by the TOBA/Hulk but no resolution. But all in all it was a good issue, not that great but cool for an ending in mainstream comics.
I try to improve my english, feel free to correct me by DM if you see some mistakes !

Ok, so here's a thought.
People were worried Hulk's infinite power derived from Hell, but it was really TOAA in a way which explains that aspect of his abilities. Interesting that he was able to disperse TOBA for those wanting battle board fodder.
In retrospect, Tammuz was another hint, as that entity was required to spend half the year in Heaven and half in Hell.
