Great build up. Great art and intimidating Hulk. Body horror transformation was pretty crazy/gory so reader beware
ATTACK OF THE ZOMBIE GHOST RIDER!
Charlie reminds Bruce that he's more than a man on the run - he's an Avenger, a hero. And heroes help people. When their travels lead them to a Texas town under attack by dreaded monstrosities known as war devils, it's time for the Hulk to step in... ...but he rouses an undead Spirit of Vengeance from his eternal slumber, summoning a 100-year-old Ghost Rider to ride down the Hulk!
Rated T+
As if The Incredibly Hulk wasn't good enough on its own, bringing a Ghost Rider into the mix only makes it better. Read Full Review
Klein delivers some brilliantly detailed and darkly engaging art on every page of this issue. The visuals capture the imagination and draw you into the world of this story and its characters. Read Full Review
The Incredible Hulk #6 starts another mini-monster-arc to keep Banner and Charlie on their toes as they trek through the lonely roads of the American Southwest. Johnson keeps the proceedings interesting by introducing a new Spirit of Vengeance (that isn't Ghost Rider), and Nic Klein's art looks great. That said, the over-arching plot concerning the Eldest is at a complete standstill. Read Full Review
PKJ's message seems to be that everybody has a monster inside of them, and that we all have to take whatever moments of happiness we can get before our demons invariably take over. Read Full Review
Incredible Hulk #6 gets the ball rolling with a new location, new side characters, a new threat on the way, and a new Ghost Rider on the scene. The comic does a solid job of setting the stage for this encounter between Hulk and the new Rider without sidelining the main plot involving the Eldest and the monsters answering her call to hunt the Hulk. And when the Hulk and the new Ghost Rider show up, Nic Klein delivers on the art for both characters as the story sets up the fight to come. Read Full Review
Great read and art. One of the best books out there IMO.
Wicked.
This series continues to amaze with its plot that nourishes the mythology of the Hulk with monsters and cosmic terror.
You will see the most organic, explicit and amazing Hulk transformation in this comic.
Art
It is organic, full of details and textures that give the gloomy and terrifying tone to this hypnotizing story, again the transformation from Banner to the Hulk is so detailed and visceral that it will leave you stunned.
Summary
Bruce and Charlie face a pandemic of monsters that are after the Hulk, until a well-known cosmic entity arrives to complicate everything.
1) That is a cool cover A, WW2 Spirit of Vengence is drawn really well (Yes I know Marvel is totally diluting its brand and ruining its characters by making 10 of every version but at least PKJ is making good use of Marvel destroying themselves)
2) Last issue was a gross but cool transformation. This issue, with the original artist back so SO MUCH BETTER! Nics interpretation of it is amazing. Literally growing out of Banner's flesh is true body horror. 10/10
3) Unexpected monster. I assume the guy is housing it? Interesting set up.
Great issue overall. Art is really good and fitting. Nice story set up if you can ignore the fact this is like what... the 7th or more Ghost of Vengeance?
Let's get this out of the way. It's so great to have Klein back on the art duties. Travel Foreman did a pretty solid job, in my opinion, but Klein was one of the initial selling points of this book for me. Of course, he did a fantastic job here, especially with that Hulk transformation towards the end. As for Johnson's story, it was super interesting and I continue to really enjoy what he's putting together here. The scenes with the unnamed guy getting the violent flashes in his mind were really well-done, in my opinion. Good stuff all around with this one and I'm really looking forward to seeing how this story plays out.
Nic Klein is back on art after a two-issue break and it was like reconnecting with an old friend after some time apart. He wasn’t gone long, but Klein’s designs have been as much of a reason why this series has been so successful as Phillip Kennedy Johnson’s story. In his return issue, we’re treated to a two-page montage where Bruce transforms into Hulk that is one of the wildest, most gruesome interpretations of the transition that I have ever seen and it worked brilliantly. It is exactly the reason why Klein has been a revelation on this book. It appears we’re getting a detour from the Eldest’s story in this mini arc featuring a new Spirit of Vengeance, but I trust Johnson to get us back on track in short order.
This has been a continually good series, taking Hulk in a completely different direction and it really works. Bringing back the Bruce Banner that's more of a recluse and a drifter. Also, adding in Charlie works. The horrific transformations is something we've never seen out of the character. I don't know how many Ghost Riders there are. There seems to be an army of them now. I like the idea of a WWII Ghost Rider and these two are going to have to team up. Most attacks without provication between superheroes seem forced, but it works in this issue. This is definitely a set-up issue. Looking foward to the next.

Once again, it's light on plot, but the visuals really make it worthwhile. Art is not normally my selling point with any comic. This changes that. It's just great to look at.
Art: 4.5/5
Story: 3/5
Total: 7.5/10
Overall, this comic book delivers a solid Hulk story with impressive inks throughout. The narrative keeps you engaged, and the surprise appearance by Ghost Rider at the end adds an exciting twist. Definitely worth a read for fans of both characters!
