Catch up with The Infernal Hulk #8!
The Story
The Infernal Hulk is in the process of putting his big plan into action as he marches the Fallen Army on to his next place to conquer. Meanwhile, the Avengers think they have figured out what they need to take down The Infernal Hulk completely, and sends Carol Danvers deep into space on a mission that Tony Stark calls “the only one that matters”. Everyone is scrambling to do whatever they can, all the while Bruce Banner has a mission of his own. Banner seeks out the help of Doctor Voodoo for help as this is far out of his realm of expertise. Instead of relying on science, Bruce will have to use magic to put his plan into action.
The Infernal Hulk #9 does an excellent job showing just how high the stakes are to each character. The Avengers are willing to send Carol off when they know they’re the most vulnerable, as Eldest is on the way to even more chaos. The Infernal Hulk has the Fallen Army in action, and taking out innocent civilians along the way. Bruce has a plan and will make it happen any means necessary, even if that means betraying those who have come to his aid. Each character puts their varying desperation on full display, and you can cut the tension with a knife.
The Art
Adam Gorham, Matthew Wilson, and Joe Caramagna put some fantastic work into The Infernal Hulk #9 that perfectly brings the writing to life. Gorham’s linework is spectacular, especially when it gives every detail to push the mystic energy of the Soul Cage. Matthew Wilson has knocked every issue of this run out of the park with the phenomenal vibrancy. However, in the ninth issue, there’s a great contrast of vibrancy and muted tones that really set the emotions of the settings. Joe Caramagna captures each tone of the story excellently in the dialogue. Whether it’s Banner’s desperation, Doctor Voodoo’s even tone, or Samanguru’s heightened emotions, each one is felt by the reader perfectly.
Final Thoughts
At this point, I know I sound like a broken record, but I can’t help it! This run just keeps getting better and better! Phillip Kennedy Johnson has written a story that captures you and doesn’t let go. The stakes get higher and higher, as does the excitement. If you haven’t checked out The Infernal Hulk yet, there’s no time like the present!
