Immortal Hulk: Grab Bag might be a better title as it crams together some specials created for a Defenders crossover and the "Absolute Carnage" and "King in Black" events. There's also a retelling of the life of Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk in light of all the Immortal Hulk revelations and revisions and the story of some guy in 950 B.C.E. encountering a gamma-ray infused meteor. It's all a bit incomplete, but aside from the stupid cosmic crap, I actually enjoyed chunks of these.Most interesting for...
Well, this certainly makes you appreciate that Ewing got to tell an uninterrupted 5o-issue story, because these various crossovers would have caused the main story to flounder, as is the case for just about every other Marvel title.With that said, these are pretty good. Ewing really brings the Immortal Hulk ethos to The Defenders and Carnage and all the rest. In fact, I felt like the stories, particularly with their focus on Brian, gave some background to the big arc.So, well worth reading, but
A collection of all the ancillary one-offs that tie into the Immortal Hulk series. It fills in all the gaps to flesh out the story at large. Includes the Immortal She-Hulk comic. I enjoyed it, though I wish they slipped in these stories into the trades as they appeared in the storyline.
Overall, it was a really good story. When I started, I really expected this to be the finale, not the last volume. This had mostly really great single issues and a couple that were good but felt out of place. Luckily, Al Ewing's writing is fantastic!
Apocrypha collects all of the event tie-ins.Is that worth your time and money?Normally, I'd say definitely not. But this is Immortal Hulk, so it's a lot easier to give volumes like this a pass. Plus, even out of context, they were pretty interesting.Immortal Hulk 0 was probably the best and most (to me) insightful of the bunch, but they were all better than decent. Worth it for anyone who loves Al Ewing's run, but absolutely skippable for someone who is just a casual fan.

The main story of the Immortal Hulk comics had ended with the previous volume. So this last volume is a grab bag of one-off stories from crossover books or things tied to events like the King in Black and such. So it doesn't quite stand well as a coherent collection, but it does have some interesting stories as individual experiences.
Though these stories are mostly one shots I really liked the slice each one provided. Much, much better storytelling than the other collection of immortal hulk one shots.
A grab bag of Ewing's side stories related to his Immortal Hulk run. Certainly there's nothing bad in here, I just don't really see the point of these stories being collected like this. The two Best Defense issues that kick off the book are part of a larger Defenders story, and should probably have been left with those issues. The Absolute Carnage story is actually really good, but it's also so directly related to the event that it doesn't sit well by itself here. Immortal Hulk #0 is just a repr...
A collection of short stories featuring the Immortal Hulk. A couple were from various Marvel events and the rest I'm not sure where they original showed up.Overall I liked most of them, some more than others. Each played around with one or more of the Hulks.The Best Defense - a two-part tale, first with Hulk alone, that had a neat way to artistically duplicating panels of old Hulk comics to tell the story. The second part is a Defenders reunion wrapping up the tale. Both of the them had excellen...
Some stories in this collection are nearly incomprehensible outside the context of their crossovers. Others, like Immortal Hulk 0, Immortal She-Hulk, and Time of Monsters, add context and color to the main series. So, worth reading.
Especiales unitarios relacionados con la etapa de Ewing en Hulk, que no están al mismo nivel, en especial King in Black y Defenders.
I wondered what they were going to do with all these odds and sods, and maybe that title isn't final, but calling it the Immortal Hulk Companion or somesuch would have made a lot more sense than numbering it as Volume 11 as if it was an ending to the main run, when it really isn't. All worth reading – even the issues which tie in to the dreadful symbiote events, one of which makes the pleasingly idiosyncratic decision to go festive – but very much curios and side-stories; these are pieces that s...
Also known as Immortal Hulk: And All The Rest. Not sure why this is collected like this when they had all the other one-shots thrown into an unnumbered volume (probably because these are all written by Ewing, I guess?).Throwing all these issues in here seems a bit pointless to be honest. The zero issue is a reprint with a new framing sequence, and the two Best Defense one-shots are part of a bigger Defenders story that's collected elsewhere. The King In Black one-shot's not bad though, acting as...
A collection of odds and ends is exactly the sort of thing the trade paperback format is horrible for but Immortal Hulk was such an insane and jaw-dropping ride that I felt compelled to give these a ride, considering them something like the appendices at the end of Lord of the Rings. With that mindset I did enjoy this collection well enough though I would by no means consider it the final volume of the Immortal Hulk epic. More like the “volume *” or something.The King in Black tie-in is particul...
It's better than others in the series simply because of its different voices. Some of the themes play out again, but there's some novelty at work here, too.
This is actually one of the best comic issues I’ve ever read, especially #11
