Jan 28, 2026Like I said, this comic run gets better and better with each issue! The Infernal Hulk #3 is emotionally charged and keeps you locked into the story until the very end. Read Full Review

Jan 28, 2026ARTWORK:The artwork in this issue matches the tone of the story perfectly. The art team as a whole really shows the human side of Bruce & Betty well slipping in some flashes of their previous incarnations. The colors set the mood and indicate to the reader where you are at in the story and how the characters are feeling. Well, the lettering makes following the story simple and shares with the reader the reality of the situation our characters find themselves in. Read Full Review

Jan 28, 2026Infernal Hulk #3 is a strong contender for issue of the year (already). While it doesn't spill everything that explains how Bruce Banner exists without the Hulk, but it gives enough to satiate readers for a while. It's a hell of an issue that should not be missed. Read Full Review

Feb 02, 2026This issue might not be for everyone with the tough topics it covers, but it's an important issue that doesn’t shy away from showing how trauma can affect someone's mental and physical health. Phillip Kennedy Johnson and his art team are rockstars, and it’s a pleasure to read The Infernal Hulk each month. Next month’s issue promises to show us what’s been happening to the Incredible Hulk locked away inside Eldest, and I can’t wait to see what happens. Read Full Review

Jan 28, 2026The Infernal Hulk #3 provesthe series isn't just about monstrous scale, but emotional depth. By shifting the horror inward, the series reveals that Bruce Banner's greatest battle isn't against possession or kaiju-sized threats, but the impossible task of living a normal life while knowing the monster is inseparable from who he is. The suburban calm, strained relationships, and cruel judgment of fellow heroes all reinforce the central truth: Bruce can hide from the Hulk, but he can never outrun it. It's a quieter issue, but one that deepens the series in meaningful and unsettling ways. Read Full Review

Jan 30, 2026The Infernal Hulk #3 proves Bruce Banner can't escape his past, no matter how far he runs. His confrontation with his heroic peers and Betty's breakdown offers devastating proof that separating from the Hulk solved nothing. PKJ wisely shows the full repercussions as Bruce's coworkers lose sons, Betty loses herself, and the Marvel Universe edges closer to destruction. Read Full Review

Plot Bruce Banner lives in hiding with Betty, using the identities of David Hamilton and Heather. They avoid traffic cameras and anything else that might identify them. They work together, and their coworkers suspect nothing. But something inside Betty is triggered when she sees the Infernal Hulk's attacks on the news. She suffers a breakdown; it seems she has a monster identity that wants to return. Reed Richards and Iron Man locate Bruce, who asks them to leave and explains that Eldest managed to separate Bruce from the Hulk using magic in caverns beneath the Nevada desert called Requiem Plain. Iron Man and Reed leave, annoyed. This comic continues to maintain that gloomy tone of mystery mixed with suspense and supernatural horr more

I maintain that this book is not a hulk comic, it's just a Lovecraftesque horror comic. Overall it's interesting and the art is pretty mid. The constant fill in artists on Hulk bother me as Nic is really fantastic and this is a huge downgrade . I'm still coming back and buying it as the plot with Bruce and Betty was very interesting. Betty's decline was jarring to see as well as Bruce turning down helping the other heroes.We see no Infernal Hulk in the entire issue except on tvs as the plot moves along also the " starring Ironman " is a gimmick. he's in 5 panels. As I mentioned if you are a hulk fan, this book will not be for you-but if you want a good monster story- this fits the bill.
