Sep 13, 2023I love the visual style Foreman uses in this issue. There are shades of The Sandman in some of the visuals and they work beautifully with the tone of the story and series. Read Full Review

Oct 04, 2023There's a lot to like here and while I like Foreman's artwork it's in the vein of Klein's but has a different feel, especially with Banner himself. The story itself continues to be interesting and I'm glad we're getting mostly a slow build here as so many books just rush through things in a way that I simply don't enjoy these days. The time with Banner and Charlie works well and I'm intrigued by the larger story as we still get more to come from Man-Thing/Ted with what's really going on. The potential is there and it's laying out the stakes piece by piece. Read Full Review

Sep 13, 2023Johnson continues to take us on a journey through the macabre wastelands of the Marvel Universe, bringing us to the Man-Thing, in the Louisiana bayou. As the guardian of the Nexus fights to warn the Hulk, his new companion might have run out of luck. The stories creepy, and the art elevates the story, but Im still not quite there with the direction. Kennedys earned some leeway, so Ill wait for him to hit his stride. Read Full Review

Sep 13, 2023The Incredible Hulk #4 brings the Green Goliath into contact with the familiar and always strange Man-Thing while introducing a new monster into the series. There are more interactions between Bruce and Charlie that continues to develop their dynamic with Bruce having an excellent moment where he gets real in a way that hits all the right points without feeling condescending or too soft. And of course there's some shocking developments with Hulk and Man-Thing as the comic sets the stage for a confrontation with the new Swamp Siren. Read Full Review

Sep 20, 2023There is a lot left to see given the abrupt cliffhanger in The Incredible Hulk #4, but also more to understand what the Eldest has awakened in the void of darkness. Stay tuned for more to come as Johnson continues to deepen the expedition into what monsters await. Be sure to pick this issue up from your local comic book store or online where these comics may be sold. Read Full Review

Weird Science Marvel Comics - mrgabehernandez
Sep 13, 2023The Incredible Hulk #4 visits the balmy state of Florida to confront Hulk with two monsters for the price of one. Banner's contentious relationship with Charlie is the high point of the writing, and the new monster is super creepy, but Johnson doesn't incorporate enough information about the Eldest to keep the arc moving, and the guest artist's style is a step down in quality.

This has quickly become my most anticipated release every month. Travel Foreman fills in for Nic Klein on art in this issue, and absolutely nails it. His style is very different from the previous issues, going for a retro, '70s/'80s horror look, and it works phenomenally. It's pulpy and horrific. PKJ continues to establish the Charlie-Hulk-Banner dynamic, which I'm really enjoying. I also think this is the scariest issue yet! Please read this series if you haven't been!

Foreman is one of my favorites! He kills it here especially that last page. Badass comic book

The writing was really great. We once again get to see more monster madness! A new opponent enters the fray that even Man-Thing worries about. Also some nice break down of anger and different peoples views on it. Continue to like Hulk and his 'side-kick' dynamic.

We're right back up in terms of quality for this series. I didn't dislike Issue 3 by any means, as you can see by my 8.5/10 review of it. However, I did feel as though the ongoing story took a bit of a backseat for pure action. This time around, the story is right back in the spotlight and Johnson writes it well. Charlie continues to become a compelling character here and I hope we learn more about her connection to Earl in Issue 5 or sometime in the future of this run. Speaking more about the art, I will always miss Nic Klein when he's not doing the art, but Foreman isn't bad whatsoever. Yes, he's not Nic Klein, but he's a pretty solid artist and I thought his style worked well with the story presented. Oh yeah, I didn't even mention how c more

The art couldn't get any better. This reminds me of some of the best issues of Dylan Dog.

I really like the horror elements here though I don't like that Banner just ditched a teenage girl to fend for herself. The artwork is not nearly as good as the previous artist, but I like where this arc is going. My comic Reivews - https://youtu.be/5j1dSytrohk

Might be my favorite issue so far. It's an interesting dynamic between the two main characters and it delivers good visuals even with the different artist.

This is a solid start to another short arc, though the individual scenes are so generously paced that we don't make a lot of plot progress. Those scenes are tastily written, minimizing any regret about the speed. Sadly, on the visual front, I can't report a change over the many years I've encountered Travel Foreman's art. I KNOW he has talent, and it's very much in evidence here. He has a knack for going full blast on the key splash panels, and he capably holds up this title's rep for body horror. I still can't get past how EMPTY he leaves so many of the non-critical panels.

Average at best is a good way to describe this issue. The problem is that very little happens this issue, other than a ton of rather mindless action. So far, PKJ's run on Hulk has been surprisingly sub par, especially considering how phenomenal he is on Action Comics and The Last God.
