Feb 19, 2025Incredible Hulk #22 begins a new chapter with a classic horror opening with a simple yet dark twist to it. The story is already exploring the ramifications of Charlie becoming a monster and how it will affect not only herself but innocent people. Then theres Bruce being stuck in Hulkscape leaving Hulk in the driver seat, the significance of which is downplayed a little too much in this comic. However, while the comic isnt the most excitable, it's still engaging all the same and sets up a new disturbing direction for the next few issues. Read Full Review

The first couple arcs of this series blew me away, and then it fell into a slump. It's occasionally hooked me again, but this is the first issue in a while that's come close to making me feel the way those initial issues did. Many of the previous issues have suffered from odd pacing and extreme decompression, relying solely on atmosphere to the book's detriment. Everything clicked together again in this issue, and while I agree that Nic Klein's incredible art is the best part of this book, that just hasn't been a problem for me. PKJ's storytelling in this issue has returned to its previously gripping form, but even when I found his writing lackluster, I was happy to see Klein's beautifully horrific illustrations.

Ok this is going to sound odd but I think Klein and Earls should have switched issues. Earls should have done this one and Klein the previous issue. This just had a lot of walking and talking. Sure it had some horror and blood but not really body horror that Earls couldnt have handled. Kleins art felt kind of wasted on this. And not the best atmosphere for it. Story wise, rather boring till like the last 3 pages. The final page admittedly was kind of disturbing. Interested to see where that goes but a lot of this travel could have been condensed to like 2 or 4 pages. Not 20. What is up with everyone wanting to do de-constructive stories now a days. I want action and plot that moves forward while making sense. This plot kind of makes s more
