The Hulk has been able to see ghosts/the astral plane for several years now.
Satire drawn by Greg Land is just peak.

The latest installment of Fall of the House of X had all the makings of a thrilling pentultimate issue, but unfortunately it prioritized quantity over quality. The issue felt like a rushed sprint from one set piece to the next, leaving key moments underdeveloped and lacking the emotional resonance they deserved.
One of the big missteps was the handling of Apocalypse's story. To save a d more
MY ALLY, MY ENEMY!
They say a wounded animal can be the most dangerous kind of animal to face. As the fight between the mutants and Orchis reaches a deadly pitch, a startling revelation rocks the X-Men to their core. The two series that are one come together in one horrible betrayal as the Krakoan Age nears its conclusion!
Rated T+
I’m glad that others are enjoying it. It’s just not for me. It’s not what I’m looking for in an X-Men book.
THE ULTIMATE X-MEN GO BACK TO SCHOOL!

THE ENCHANTRESS OF WORLDS! The Son of Odin came to the citadel of Roxxon - to make war for the sake of the Earth herself. But his enemies were waiting to steal from him the one thing that was Thor's alone...and they had crafted the foulest of weapons to do it. This is the story of THE IMMORTAL THOR...and of the trap he could not escape.

Reads like an outline of a story no one asked to hear, with cool action moments taped on. The characters don't really feel like they have agendas; they're just being dragged along by the plot.
X-MEN X-SSEMBLE! If there were ever a time to rally the troops and take the fight to the enemy, it's NOW! Stand side by side with the X-Men as they head for their final stand! They can't stop ALL of us!
Rated T+
To me this felt very rushed and by-the-numbers. It feels like Duggan is just phoning it in now with how he's closing off his plot points. Also, the X-Men now seem very bloodthirsty. I know they decided that extreme measures were necessary (which I think is out of character), but they just went from "No Killing" to "Kill everything you see even if you don't have to". They don't even show any remormore

And just as they've finally got the various gangs of blood suckers and night stalkers back in line, and they can finally relax with a nice nig...
This issue was very disappointing. It starts out well enough with the horror element. The monster is cool and Charlie feels to be in danger. However, when we move to the Hulk part, it falls apart. Since when can Hulk see ghosts? It doesn't feel like a Hulk story when he starts being led around by the dead detective, who tells his story instead of us dealing with the monster. It doesn't even end. Imore
THE GHOST DETECTIVE TAKES HULK ON A MIND-BENDING ADVENTURE THROUGH THE PAST! Frozen Charlotte is the newest monster set on delivering Hulk to Eldest (and sowing macabre and murder along the way). But Frozen Charlotte emerged once before, and to stop her, Hulk must first understand her past... So the Ghost Detective takes Hulk on a noir hunt for a s...
Agreed with your point malijoss on all account. The inconsistency in this run (and other Marvel runs are really destroying them)
Roy Thomas established Hulk's ability to see ghosts and astral projections due to "something in his warped nature" in 1971!
It's Al Ewing. Of course it's good.
Thor confronted his mother Gaea about her machinations in Midgard... and the dark secrets she had kept from him. Meanwhile, a trap was prepared - baited with blood vengeance, laced with insidious poison and carefully set by she who perhaps cared for the Odinson best. This is the story of the IMMORTAL THOR...and of the women who loved him.

THE END HAS TRULY BEGUN! The X-Men have taken all they're willing to take from Orchis... Now it's time for them to do the dishing out. Unfortunately, just when it seems like one threat is over...another rises to take its place.

Surprised that Straczynski missed the obvious "SHUT the FRONT DOOR" joke.
THE FIGHT FOR LIFE! Just when Steve Rogers believes the fight against Asmoday is won, he meets a strange new ally named Lyla, guardian of the mysterious Front Door Cabaret - and learns that Asmoday's defeat has unleashed a new threat that only Steve can stand against. A bold new arc that will send ripples across the Marvel Universe begins here!

This was a confusing hodgepodge that was the latest disappointment in the Fall of X. Gerry Duggan's script throws various plot elements at the wall, hoping some will stick, but ultimately leaving us with a disjointed mess. The issue lacks focus, bouncing from scene to scene without a clear narrative flow or explanation. Characters randomly show up from out of nowhere when they have either been MIAmore

Perfectly cromulant, but What If stories work better as single stories instead of being spread out over multiple issues.
WHAT IF...CARTER BURKE HAD LIVED?

THE LAST HOPE - OUTSIDE OF REALITY!
Outside time and space is mutantdom's last hope. Floating between dimensions, hiding from a Dominion who wishes to crush them. Can Xavier and his crew survive? And when we find out their plan, will we want them to? The end of the Krakoan Age continues in this epic tale split in two!
Rated T+
This issue was an egregious afront to X-Men fans who have stuck by the Krakoan era in its entirety. After bungling the ball throughout Fall of X, they can’t erase past poor storytelling with an issue full of set pieces meant to tie up various loose ends that have been floundering for months. Nothing in this issue felt earned, rather it felt like Duggan was rushing to get to an end.

This was amazing. Reading it felt like watching a really good suspenseful movie thanks to expert pacing and layouts, and some really creepy images (which are effectively subtle, until they're not). There's a page not far from the end that actually made me gasp. Highly recommended.
