Spinning out of Immortal Hulk, all of Hulk's buddies go off with Gamma Flight and help out a gamma irradiated town. It's just alright. It does have some resolutions for characters like Rick/Del. I think my favorite part of this was the relationship between Titania and the Absorbing Man.

This was an interesting read!

We follow the Gamma flight as they operate on their own and well helping people, until they meet Stockpile/Dionne and well they are helping her but what happens when they go to a town where everyone is being turned into a hulk and so to stop it they have to face off against Abomination (the real one) and Skaar, Son of Hulk and what other secrets will they discover? Plus big things happen to other characters like Rick and Walter!

Great story and yeah its not like Immortal hulk or epic, its just them vs whacko govt agencies and weird bodt takeovers and swappings and merging, and all the horror stuff of there and does a good job of introducing Dionne and well also giving a good fight between the heroes and the villain but it would have been better had the fight been longer but I digress. Regardless a good read still and the art was great, especially the horror stuff and it leaves at a good place of where do the characters go from here!

A mysterious gamma signal brings together some of the Hulk's greatest allies, as they face off against two of his greatest enemies fused into one, as well as one of his wayward sons!

I'm surprised it took this long for Immortal Hulk to get some kind of spin-off. The cast was growing and growing, and there wasn't room for everyone. Shifting most of them over to Gamma Flight actually frees up the main book to laser focus on the Hulk's problems for the last arc, and give the others their due without making them feel like they're stealing page space.

The driving plot here's pretty interesting, and builds nicely out of what's been going on in Immortal Hulk as well. It does feel like some of these characters should have shown up again in the main book before appearing here, but I'll take what I can get at this point. I think the newest character isn't entirely necessary, but she helps propel things forward, and there's a decent link with the villains that the other characters don't have to keep her relevant.

The artwork's by Lan Medina, so it's serviceable as always, but it doesn't quite reach the heights of Joe Bennett on the main book - the body horror doesn't land quite as well, but that could just be because Bennett's done such a bang-up job over there so anything else looks lesser.

A worthy addition to the Immortal Hulk canon, even if it feels a touch too-little-too-late. Some fun character beats and a plot that feels natural as a branch off from the main title make this well worth a look if you've enjoyed what Ewing's been doing, because you can never have too much of a good thing.

A disappointing coda to Ewing's terrific Immortal Hulk series. This volume has some critical cleanup related to some of the characters from the main comic, but it's very boring, full of big, pointless fights and just not enough characterization. The Hulk had also been combat-heavy, but this is just missing a spark.

There was a lot of good things here. Why I kept reading. But that final issue...I'm not sure what was resolved. Was this originally supposed to have a longer run?

I didn't enjoy this as much as I did Al Ewing's great run on IMMORTAL HULK, but this is well above average for a superhero team book, and different enough to hold my attention.
Gamma radiation does grant special powers, but it's not kind to the human form. Poor Rick Jones is fused with teenager Del Frye's body in the most graphic example of body horror I've ever seen in a standard superhero comic. Likewise, Doctor Leonard Sampson is mutated along with Sasquatch from Alpha Flight to become one entity: Doc Sasquatch.
This mini-series spins off from events in IMMORTAL HULK, when Gamma Flight was ordered to track down the Hulk and instead broke ranks and helped him. The team is Puck, Titania, Absorbing Man, Doc Sasquatch and new members scientist Dr. Charlene McGowan and the Rick Jones/Del Frye monstrosity.
When a new gamma mutate starts a rampage in Austin, Texas - Gamma Flight steps in and talks down Stockpile (Dionne). Their relationship leads to learning of a mysterious experiment that is turning an entire small town into mini-Hulks. The trail leads to encounters with Skaar, Son of Hulk and The Abomination.
There is better-than-average characterization of the main players here, even though the action doesn't allow for many interludes. Especially interesting is a budding romance between Doc Sasquatch and transgender Charlene.

As one green door closes, another opens... A footnote of sorts to Immortal Hulk. I enjoyed spending a little more time with the supporting cast who've been sloughed off as the end approaches: Puck is always fun; Creel and Titania's dynamic has become weirdly sweet, and getting him to make smarter use of his absorbing powers makes sense; and Doc Samson's cack-handed attempts to pull McGowan make me wonder why superhero comics don't do cringe comedy more often. Alas, the antagonist is soon revealed as Skaar, Son Of Hulk, who of all the gamma-powered characters is undoubtedly the one I give least of a toss about (no small achievement), and whose absence from Immortal Hulk proper, even as it dug out almost every other Hulk-related character, was one of the many great things about the series. Sure, he gets a gruesome redesign, but compared to the parent series' equivalents it's very much 'we've got body horror at home'. And then he gets crowded out by too many other villains, and...compared to the parent series, which is one of the best Marvel books of recent years, nobody will ever mistake this for more than what it is, a rather uneven spin-off. But fuck it, I still enjoyed the happy endings.

Gamma Flight is a decently fun (and ultimately skippable) spin-off of Ewing's Hulk series. The semi-heroic team of Gamma-related folks takes on a secret government organization that's creating Gamma-freaks. It's basically what you'd expect from a Hulk adjacent story, including large men/creatures punching each other.

I had a good time - there's more character depth here than you'd expect. The art was consistently good, mostly matching Joe Bennett's weirdo grossness in the main Hulk series. It's certainly not as mentally taxing as that series, so maybe that's a point in its favor? A quick read if you're exhausted by Ewing's other series.

Why am I bored before the second issue is finished? Al Ewing shares co-writing credit on this book, and he kicked the living hell out of the writing on Immortal Hulk for 50 issues, but this book isn’t anywhere near as interesting.

Something’s off. Dialogue is weird for all the characters, they’re having weird soap opera arguments in the middle of getting their asses kicked by Skaar, and nothing feels fun even though the art says “this is a blast of fisticuffs and high-tech”.

Gonna lay this at Crystal Frasier’s feet - I assume Ewing’s giving her notes but the scripting/plotting/dialogue is all her. And gonna stop reading before I actually decide I hate these characters. Never have I ever been this disappointed with Leonard Samson, Absorbing Man or Titania.

Surprisingly dull book, given Ewing's recent run on the Hulk. And one that really doesn't justify its existence. The back cover tells us we're in for some shocking revelations regarding Rick Jones, dating back to the early days, yet I can't remember anything being revealed. The artwork is all right. This is for completists only.

Existem aquelas runs de personagens que são tão bem feitas que a gente enquanto leitor passa a se importar mais que com o personagem principal, mas os personagens periféricos e paralelos que a trama apresenta. O sucesso das subtramas destes personagens originou esta minissérie O Imortal Hulk Apresenta: Tropa Gama: Sem Piedade. Ela traz os personagens da Tropa Gama: Doutor Leonard Samson virado no Sasquatch, Pigmeu, Homem-Absorvente e Titânia. Mas acredito que, através da minha visão queer, a personagem mais importante acaba sendo da Dra. Charlene McGowan que é uma mulher trans e também está em transição entre vilã e heroína. A trama da minissérie gira em torno da ameaça do Abominável que ao mesmo tempo é o General Fortean e as experiências que foram realizadas com a filha de Fortean para que ela se tornasse também uma criatura-gama. A minissérie não é tão legal quanto a série original de O Imortal Hulk, mas é legal de ser se você como eu se afeiçoou a estes personagens que, assim como o Hulk, andam numa tênue linha entre a vilania e o heroísmo.

Eis um spin-off de Imortal Hulk, escrita pelo autor da série principal Al Ewing (co-escrito, na verdade). E esse gibi conta uma história da nova formação da Tropa Gama, que foi formada pra caçar o Hulk, mas que acabou vendo que seria de mais utilidade procurando e arrumando anomalias gama pelo mundo, enquanto eles mesmos são caçados pelo governo por terem desertado. Temos alguns personagens curiosos, como o Dr. Samson Sasquatch, o Pigmeu, um Rick Jones esquisitíssimo e uns degenerados (mais ou menos) Homem-Absorvente e Titania. Eles se juntam pra enfrentar o Abominável, o novo que surgiu na série do Imortal Hulk, mas que aqui descobrimos que não é tão novo assim. Ainda tem aparição do filho do Hulk, o Skaar. Um gibizinho divertido, que faz jus à série principal. Os desenhos do Lan Medina não comprometem, na verdade são bem honestos e mantém a vibe horripilante da série principal. Um belo gibizinho

A very full epilogue to what was a exciting main series, Gamma Flight attempts to tell you what happened to a lot of the supporting cast after Immortal ended, but it's not very compelling. I don't wanna say Ewing just handed his notes to his Co Writer, but it certainly felt that way with the plotting and dialogue. A certain gamma individual shows up here to pop people's interest, but he has little in the way of actual motivation, and the main antagonist really doesn't even make a impact.

The only silver lining is some resolution for Rick Jones, but outside of that, this screams C tier book pumped out to coast on popularity.

I'm not sure if this was originally meant to be an ongoing series or if Ewing lost track of his issues while writing, because this feels less like a miniseries and more like a first trade. And the last issue is kind of a mess. There's a lot of characters, and very little actually feels resolved at the end of the book. But I really do like the core team, and I like how they interact with each other. Creel and Titania in particular have developed a really fun relationship. Do you need to read this coda to Immortal Hulk? Absolutely not, unless you really developed a fondness for any of these characters.

This book spun out of the pages of Immortal Hulk, as the characters in Gamma Flight went on the run in that book after defying team manager Henry Peter Gyrich to side with the Hulk. When they fled before the climax of that story, they were no longer part of that narrative, but they still had some plot threads left unresolved, the biggest being the horrible situation that Rick Jones and Del Frye found themselves in. This series does resolve that plot thread, while leaving some others dangling, like the relationship between Doc Sasquatch and Charlene McGowan, as well as Samson being stuck in Sasquatch's body while Walt Langkowski is still running around in his.

While keeping a lot profile after the events of Immortal Hulk, Gamma Flight sees a news report of a gamma mutate causing chaos in Austin, Texas, and rather than let this mutate get captured by the authorities, they decide to go and help. What follows is a story that's not nearly as compelling as the Immortal Hulk material. It IS nice to see an original Hulk villain who was absent (sort of) in the Immortal Hulk book, but the way they handle him here is a bit confusing.

The newly introduced character Stockpile proves to be pretty bland, but I do enjoy the way Lan Medina depicts her ever changing body in the art. Medina's art is very capable, and he does fairly good work during the battle sequences, save one moment in the last issue that is genuinely confusing to follow.

The most enjoyable part of this book was the relationship between Absorbing Man and Titania. They had some fun banter, and dare I say it, Carl Creel may actually be growing slightly as a person. On the whole though this book is not something I would consider a must-read. Only for those who absolutely HAVE to read anything connected to Immortal Hulk--just prepare for this one to not deliver at the same level of quality as the series that spawned it.

Set after the events in Immortal Hulk, the latest incarnation of Gamma Flight have broken ties with the shadowy military organisation that put them together, striking out on their own to stop the machinations of General Fortean/The Abomination.

Intially it has a bit of a shakey start as Ewing and Fraser establish the team for new audiences (Doc Sasquatch, Puck, Dr Charlene McGowan, Absorbing Man, and Titania) which need some explanation in themselves. Doc Sasquatch is Doc Samson in the gamma iradiated body of Walter Langowski (the original Sasquatch), Dr McGowan is a transgender gamma expert (also in a realtionship with Samson), Puck (from the original Alpha Flight team), former supervilians Titania and Absorbing Man (both attempting to reform) and side characters Del Fyre and Rick Jones (who have been fused together). On top of that most of the team have recently returned from a version of hell (or the 'below place') that is particular to gamma powered beings. If this starts to lose you, that's understandable - but its worth pushing through.

Just as the book starts to alienate you Ewing and Fraser get it back on track and streamline the narrative with the team finally having a tangible adversary in the form of new gamma powered being Stockpile and Skarr (the son of Hulk) as they haphazardly end up in a town where the inhabitants have been transformed into gamma mutates. We get a more relatable storyline, even with a subplot for the characters to examine their broken familial relationships, ending with a satisfactory place to leave the new team.

There is a lot crammed in here, and it doesn't all work, but with solid artwork from Lan Medina and said simplifying of the tale, you end up with an enjoyable adventure filled with complex characters.

Al Ewing spins off the Gamma Flight team first introduced in the pages of his The Immortal Hulk run and gives them a tidy little miniseries. There isn't much to this aside from a fun mixture of characters we're unlikely to interact again. Puck's Gamma Flight roster includes classic Marvel villains like Absorbing Man and Titania, alongside a new iteration of Doc Samson (Doc Sasquatch), Dr. Charlene McGowan (also first introduced in Ewing's Hulk run) and a horrifyingly mutated version of Rick Jones. No longer a team set to hunt down the Hulk, they instead turn against their government handlers. Now a renegade team, they fight for their own freedom while up against classic Hulk characters like Skaar and Abomination.

The story is fun enough and doesn't overstay its welcome, but it also isn't all that memorable either. I quite liked Lan Medina's artwork here, even if at times there was a bit too much green on some pages. The body horror stuff seems completely in line with what Joe Bennett does in The Immortal Hulk, so that was nice to see. Overall, this adds some nice low stakes supplemental reading for fans of The Immortal Hulk.

Cute little side-story to wrap up one of the greatest comic runs of all time. Ewing having Crystal Frasier hop in to co-write fits to counterbalance how extremely dark I feel like he would make this otherwise (you get hints of it with Rick and Del, who I am always relieved to see aren't staying in the torture punish dungeon forever), plus the added bonus of getting more characterization for McGowan and more stuff regarding her transness, which Ewing already handled well on his own in the main run. Largely fluff with lots of Hulk fan service sprinkled in (Abomination as Emil Blonsky again! Skarr! That one scientist lady from the Greg Pak run!), but cute and satisfying and fleshes characters like Creel and Puck out a little better, which is one of the only aspects of Ewing's masterstroke that I felt was underdeveloped.

“Did you…TRANSLOCATE her shot?”

“You fight Daredevil and The Hulk, you learn how to think on your feet.”

“You’re a proper super villain now, Charlene. Mary will be proud.”

I probably should have read this ten issues ago (as I forgot it dealt with Del and Rick Jones’ separation) but yeah! Nifty little team gets a nifty little mini series!

And it’s further cool that this creative team is dealing with further Hulk-related narrative threads like Doc Samson’s Hulk Making Laser and the behind-the-scenes development of the Hulkbuster units under Gyrich (who just made his debut for me back in the main series).

I personally like it a lot but I don’t know if I would consider it “essential” in the grander scheme of Immortal Hulk. Unless you just want to hang out with these characters again, and you should. Charlene wears a Miss America jacket for the whole thing. It’s the best.

It's....ok.

You have members of Alpha Flight (Wolverine in Canada era) mixed in with members of the Hulk's villain roster. They're saving the world from shadowy 'big bad' soldiers out to exploit the Hulk and gamma tech. Throw in a transgender hero so you cover your bases, and ...tada! It's the new(?) Gamma Flight. This is pretty much a one off from Immortal Hulk that tells you what these characters are up to in the current Marvel Universe.

Bonus: The return of a Hulk villain we've seen before (haven't we seen them all by now?)

A definite step down from Ewing's Immortal Hulk. The basic problem is that it tries to do too much with its limited run. Adding further characters to an already-large cast doesn't help, as none seem to get as much focus as they deserve. (Although Del/Rick's arc proceeds rather well, comparatively. On the other hand, the villains seem a bit off from their past appearances.) It's all a shame, because a longer run probably would have worked out much better; the core cast is likable and the core plot had potential. (B)

I'm a big fan of the Al Ewing run for Immortal Hulk and so I took a gamble on this Gamma Flight spin-off title. It still plays in the same gamma-rich neighborhood but it also feels a bit lighter in tone versus Immortal Hulk, which was essentially a horror comic.

The team is a good one and have an interesting mix of characters and skillsets and I can see this book going a bit longer. I'm just not sure how interesting it'll remain without a Hulk front and center despite all the gamma-powered villains.

Al Ewing continues Gamma Flight's story from his epic Immortal Hulk run and while I'm glad their story continued, I wish it wasn't this story. This felt very dated. I almost felt like I was reading Force Works. The vibe was very generic. I still enjoy Crusher and Mary's dynamic and I'm glad we got some completion of some character arcs. I thought the return of some pretty big characters was somewhat wasted in this series. Lan Medina's artwork was top notch. Overall, a very bland continuation of an average subplot.

A nice little spin-off of Immortal Hulk that solves the plot of Rick Jones/Del Frye. The story is a little rushed, and it needed more than 5 issues, but the character interaction, art style, new characters, and development from Absorbing Man are so good that it's worth reading if you cared about Gamma Flight while reading Immortal Hulk. Just don't expect something as epic or intense, this is a little project with a specific goal in mind.

I'm giving this a 3 because I like this cast of characters. A lot of potential, including a believable trans character! Also, Creel and Titania need their own book! But the art is so sketchy. I loved these kids in Immortal Hulk and it was fun they got some limelight. Hope they aren't completely forgotten.

A great coda to cap off the Immortal Hulk saga. While a very inessential read and one with little worth to anyone who never read the main book; this tie in acts as a great epilogue to a lot of the side cast, some of whom were created in the Immortal Hulk books. I really hope we see more of all of them soon

Kind of an epilogue mini-series to Ewing's Immortal Hulk run, Gamma Flight is a self-contained mini-series that neatly wraps up some loose ends for the supporting cast that came out of that tale. An action-packed romp with a lot of interpersonal banter tossed in, it's not a bad read at all. Medina's art is pretty solid as always, and his work brings a lot of the body-horror stuff to the fore.
