An Ancient Horror Begins Its Conquest Of The Marvel Universe In Infernal Hulk

August 15, 2025
Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Nic Klein’s INCREDIBLE HULK has reawakened monsters and reignited horror storytelling across the Marvel Universe! This November, they’ll launch INFERNAL HULK, a monstrous new chapter following their bold run that debuts the most terrifying Hulk in comic book history!
Teased yesterday, INFERNAL HULK picks up after Hulk’s epic rematch with the Eldest, the powerful firstborn of the Mother of Horrors, in October’s Incredible Hulk #30. The Eldest’s long-seeded plan comes to fruition as it uses the power of the Strongest There Is to usher in a new AGE OF MONSTERS, unleashing a dark destiny for the entire Marvel Universe and declaring war for its very soul!
INCREDIBLE...IMMORTAL...INFERNAL!
The evil known as Eldest has literally torn Bruce Banner and the Hulk apart and taken the Hulk’s body as their own. This new, unstoppable Infernal Hulk is ten times the monster that everyone always feared Hulk would be. Their diabolical plan is to plunge the world back into ancient horrors by transforming our heroes into nightmarish beasts! Meanwhile, the indomitable Bruce Banner, though powerless, will stop at nothing to thwart their evil schemes!
“I’ve been promising Hulk fans the biggest, boldest status quo change in Hulk’s history, and that time is finally here,” Johnson said. “The next few issues of Incredible Hulk give fans all the answers they’ve been waiting for about Eldest and the Mother of Horrors, and INFERNAL HULK is the beginning of a terrifying new normal, not just for the Hulk series but for the entire Marvel Universe.”
"Working on Hulk whether it be ‘Incredible’ and now ‘Infernal’ with Phillip has been a dream,” Klein said. “Phillip is not only an amazing world builder and craftsman who pours so much heart into this book, but he has also become a great friend and fantastic collaborator throughout this. INFERNAL HULK is where the journey was always going to go all along, and I’m excited to see reader’s reactions to it. I know I’m putting a lot of blood, sweat, ad tears into it, as always."
On what to expect in this new era, Johnson explains, “There are monsters way worse and more powerful than anything we’ve seen so far, bigger and stronger than Hulk with origins that go back to the foundations of the Earth. It’s time to take this story to the next level, and no corner of the Marvel Universe will be left untouched before the end.”

Well, originality be damned! He looks cool!
Maybe they'll reveal that they all came through the Green Door! Doubt it, but maybe.

Not sure how I feel about it, but I'm subscribed to the series, so we will see.
Oh my, I just looked that up, you're right!
Horns and all!

This is not how I expected Daken to reappear in the comics. I do like the way his inner wrist claw is being represented though. More of a shorter sturdier dew claw kind of thing rather than that long reverse facing extra claw that always seemed to me to oppose an effective way to use the other two claws. As far as the story it's just typical of today's Marvel. In absence of actual good ideas it's just become too easy to just start combining characters or traits of characters and calling it new. Just silly.
