The Hulk has been able to see ghosts/the astral plane for several years now.
THE GHOST DETECTIVE TAKES HULK ON A MIND-BENDING ADVENTURE THROUGH THE PAST! Frozen Charlotte is the newest monster set on delivering Hulk to Eldest (and sowing macabre and murder along the way). But Frozen Charlotte emerged once before, and to stop her, Hulk must first understand her past... So the Ghost Detective takes Hulk on a noir hunt for a serial killer set in 1850s New Orleans!
Rated T+
The Incredible Hulk feels a lot like Hellboy or Eric Powell's Hillbilly, in that it just finds ways to bring in all sorts of interesting supernatural lore. Read Full Review
Incredible Hulk #10 delivers the second part of the Frozen Charlotte story. Here, we see Hulk rampage a little before finding a friendly ghost who once investigated the titular villainess, and helps him find the monster's lair. Admittedly, this comic is not that excitable, but you do learn more about the history of Frozen Charlotte and her murderous time in New Orleans, even how she got the name. The art from Danny Earls works best when depicting the dark and gothic lair of the new monster, and Frozen Charlotte herself. But while this issue was low on the action, we'll be getting more of that in the next issue as Hulk finally confronts Frozen Charlotte. Read Full Review
Earls offers some interesting art in the issue. The visual style doesnt really work for me in how it depicts the Hulk and the other characters outside of the monster. There is a flatness to the imagery that feels unfinished. Read Full Review
The Incredible Hulk #10 takes the slow road to nowhere with a poorly-pace, actionless issue that only serves to get Hulk from point A to point B. The monster-of-the-month model has overstayed its welcome, and the guest art in this issue is subpar. Read Full Review
This arc could be a bit tighter, but PKJ uses the slower pacing to create a creepy atmosphere, aided by guest artist Danny Earls, who, as I felt with the last issue, draws New Orleans very well. Each monster we’ve been introduced to throughout this series has been really neat, and Frozen Charlotte is no exception, in terms of her design, backstory, and motive.
The arc's a lot of fun but boggled down by mediocre art.
I dont know I just feel apathy towards this issue. Its not terrible but why is Hulk chilling with ghosts and why did the genre change to noir for the majority of this issue? Do not get me wrong, I like noir but in a Hulk...?
This also just feels too repetitive. The monster of the week stuff is getting boring. The art does not help. The lack of action makes it so much worse. We need the plot to move forward in a meaningful way. Not whatever we got here.
This issue was very disappointing. It starts out well enough with the horror element. The monster is cool and Charlie feels to be in danger. However, when we move to the Hulk part, it falls apart. Since when can Hulk see ghosts? It doesn't feel like a Hulk story when he starts being led around by the dead detective, who tells his story instead of us dealing with the monster. It doesn't even end. It continues into a second issue because they wasted so much time in this one. I hate to see this title go down hill.

WTF happened to this series? The art is abysmal and the story is jumping all over the place. It feels like a stationary bike, pedal all day and get no where. People here are saying Hulk can see ghosts and I believe them but I didn't know that while reading this dumpster fire. Does anyone remember when writers took time to remind readers of these things when they occur or at least put the little helpful info at the bottom of the panel? "The Hulk gained the power to see ghosts wayyyy back in Hulk #999 true believers". That kind of thing. If they don't get their shit together soon this series is getting canceled before we get anything close to closure.
It had started so well. But for a few issues now, I've been terribly bored; the overall quality, whether in terms of the artwork or the story, has significantly declined, and overall, it feels tedious, as if the story is going in circles. It seems like Philip Kennedy doesn't believe in it anymore.
Without Nic Klein's art, it becomes more and more apparent that this book is doing nothing interesting. Ten issues in and there has been hardly anything resembling an overall story worth following. It's so boring and almost all of the story information just pops up and/or gets repeated every issue in the recap paragraph! This issue makes me wonder who thinks Frozen Charlotte is a good enough villain to get a 3-issue arc and an origin issue!
This issue was pretty rough. I can't say I really enjoyed any of it. Especially the art.
This is terribly bad! It's a shame, I thought this writer really had the goal of sequelizing Immortal Hulk, doing what Cates wasn't able to do. But it simply creates an absurdly forced context of Banner wandering around in a hippie characterization and the savage green Hulk trying to take control. The fight for control of man vs. monster is not seen here anymore since these monsters decided to hunt the Hulk for this Eldest who represents the Mother of Horrors. They tried everything, they even introduced Man-Thing, but even that didn't help, and then a Ghost Rider from the World War II, but that was also a failure. The moment that could be made up for with so much boredom that this run passes is the one in which Betty resurfaces, but in a mi more
