This week, Marvel’s “Immortal Hulk” wrapped up its three-year run with an oversized #50. The title, which has, for each of its years in existence won our Best Ongoing Series Year in Review award, is the brainchild of Al Ewing. Despite the late-breaking problematic hate speech/art by his main artist, the series is, arguably, the most consistently praised Marvel comic since over the past five years or so. Well, we decided to put that claim to the test: what is the best Marvel book of the last five years?
Five years is a somewhat arbitrary distinction, but it feels right. Our criteria was simple: if the book made our Year in Review for Best Ongoing since 2016, we tossed it on the list. Because of instances where multiple creators have had that title over the 5 year span, we included the writer’s name in parenthesis so you were aware as to which volume we were discussing.
To me, there’s only two other choices here that could even be argued, both in terms of critical acclaim and also volume: while the ‘Dawn of X’ stuff was a lot of fun, there’s just not enough of it to necessarily compete with some of the more substantial runs on this list.
Anyway, vote in the poll, and check back on Monday for the results. Have a good weekend, and fare thee well “Immortal Hulk!”
