RATED T+
Incredible Hulk #21 concludes the face off between Hulk and Charlie and the Werewolf by Night and the monstrous wolf god Vrcolac. The fights are bloody and vicious with the fight between Hulk and Vrcolac being the bloodiest and goriest. The fights end pretty quickly, but its the revelation of Charlies potential fate thats the bigger takeaway and leaves a somber feeling wondering where things will go for her and the Hulk from here.

This issue was a action packed fight from beginning to end. Big werewolf action full of teeth, blood, fire, and haymakers! It was a lot of fun to read but basically, it was a filler issue. We learned more about what the power of Lycana is all about and that Charlie's fate is pretty bleak if she continues on. There was a ton of foreshadowing and set up for what's to come.

The art a lone makes it hard to give this more than a 7. Earls isnt a bad artist but this isnt for him. Klein really needs to be drawing all these issues or the series should just pause. Its all or nothing. That is the main thing this series has going. Its atmosphere, its design, its body horror. Earls just doesnt do it in that field.
As for the story itself. It is getting stale. While I am interested in where this might be going this feels more like a Charlie story and Hulk is along for the ride. Now while I like that it means he has to destroy a lot of stuff and gets to rage, he really is acting like her body guard and this has been going on for like 21 issues. I am getting tired of this story as it stands. It needs to get spic more
This issue could've been so much better with Nick Klein's art but the fill in art drags it down.
Art: 3/5
Story 2.5/5
Total: 5.5/10
It's impossible to have fun with what PJK is doing, and the most incredible thing (as much as he says Hulk is) is that this run is still being published without even having enough commercial appeal to be good. There's no way to give it a 7 or 8, because it's so boring and so unattractive. The writer has no idea what to do with the character, if I were him I would be ashamed, even more so considering the absurd "skin" ideas, as if he were ashamed of his own.
