The Story

If you thought the story of the Infernal Hulk was at an all-time high in terms of excitement, then you haven’t read The Infernal Hulk #7 yet. To catch up, Bruce Banner and the Hulk have split in the most gruesome of ways, and are now two separate beings. With Hulk’s body up for grabs, Eldest, using the powers of The Great Old Ones, takes over Hulk’s body. Eldest has been a problem for everyone she’s come into contact with and won’t stop until Hulk has taken over the world, and she’s getting pretty close. In the seventh issue, Eldest has decided that she is the rightful owner of Earth’s mutantkind, and the X-Men take that personally.

Starting with a vision that every mutant saw, except Glob apparently, the mutants come together because they know something big is going down. They must come up with a plan on how to stop the Infernal Hulk, but if we’re being honest, they truly don’t know what kind of threat they’re dealing with. Eldest has her eyes set on one mutant in particular to see out the plan of the Infernal Hulk, and won’t stop until her plan is victorious.

The Art

If you want a look at some of the most talented artists in Marvel Comics, just look at all who has worked on this run. Adam Gorham, Matthew Wilson, Cory Petit, and Nic Klein knocked it well out of the park with The Infernal Hulk #7. In the comic, there are some truly gruesome panels that perfectly show the Infernal Hulk’s true power, like squishing a mutant into a bloody mess. Adam Gorham leaves nothing to the imagination and puts you right in the middle of the action, giving you every detail of the chaos.

Matthew Wilson brings a great amount of vibrancy to the pages, which make every page a visual masterpiece. Cory Petit handles the lettering, and does a brilliant job at bringing the emotions front and center through the dialogue. Nic Klein brings us another fantastic cover, giving you a perfect idea of the high quality you’ll see once you open the book. Together, the artists made this an unforgettable issue!

Final Thoughts

This series continues to do incredible things thanks to the creative team. Every issue is better than the last, and once you think to yourself that it can’t possibly get better, it does. The action, the depth, the high stakes, everything is all 10s for me.

Overall Grade – 10/10
