Apart from it being a lazy, rehash of something that Cates has already done. I am much more worried this might do something to erase what Ewing has done, if we are gonna look at it that way, TOBA is probably the closest to being called a Hulks "Knull", so what Cates is doing is basically replacing or ignoring him or something... Either way he is introducing either a new Hulk personality or entity that seems to be hidden inside Hulks mind/body/gamma... and the obvious question is why???????? Why do we have to get this new entity, before we get any of the other Hulk personalities that everyone has been asking Cates about? Where are Fixit? Devil? Green Scar??? Can we at least have them be addressed in some way if not shown? No it's all just dumb, smashity smash...
Look i know this is more action driven, i know we are gonna get Hulk smashing planets and punching Celestials or whatnot and that's all fine and dandy, but we have to get SOME substance... I want at least some of the story elements addressed...
Personally i was hoping this Hulk run wouldn't sell all that well, so we could get someone else on the book but so far that doesn't seem to be the case, Cates has a pretty big, loyal fanbase i guess and Immortal Hulk has garnered a lot of new fans some of which dont wanna stick around, some of which do, so the book has actually been doing better than Cates Thor book did when it started, so seeing as we are stuck with Cates for the foreseeable future, i would at least hope he gets out of his Zach Snyder/Michael Bay mentality and actually does something meaningful in the long run.
Also this timeline makes no sense... After Hulk 6, Hulk is suppose to fight Thor for like 5 issues or whatever, but in issue 6 we get a new Hulk at the wheel that is suppose to take over for a while? How does that work? Either the Hulk vs Thor thing takes place before Hulk 6 which makes no sense since it starts in Hulk 7, or this new "Knull" who is suppose to be "unstoppable" for the Marvel heroes is literally stopped by a single Marvel hero as in Thor, which makes him less threatening and deadly than Devil was lol.
