The Immortal Hulk #0 - "At Ground Zero"
Sep. 18th, 2020 10:22 pm
I guess there was always a very science-y explanation for the whole “radiation is magic” thing, and that kind of bugs me, because I sort of prefer the more poetic explanations for things. That’s why I quite like the question of, did you get randomly bitten by a spider, or did the spider select you? There’s a poetry there. It’s not just, “Here’s how mutants work, according to wibbly-wobbly science.” And I think with the Hulk, making it a quasi-magical explanation, something that by definition cannot be explained, that doesn’t subtract; that adds to it. -- Al Ewing

As much as I've been loving the Immortal era, these sorts of aside issues, including the various event tie-ins, are a little irksome in that they're not included in the TPBs. I hope when the run is ended they put together a collection of the tie-ins.
