Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Nic Klein’s INCREDIBLE HULK #1 arrives on June 21
The AGE OF MONSTERS has
begun, and the only being who can stop a legion of the world’s most depraved
creatures from overtaking the Marvel Universe is the INCREDIBLE HULK! Enter
this horror-fueled new era of the strongest there is when writer Phillip
Kennedy Johnson and artist Nic Klein relaunch INCREDIBLE HULK this June!
Known for his acclaimed horror storytelling in titles like Alien
and Marvel Zombies: Resurrection, Johnson will take Bruce Banner to
sinister new depths when a war of monsters erupts with Hulk at its center. And
following his explosive run on Thor with Donny Cates, Nic Klein’s skill
at capturing the Hulk’s fearsome rage and his panache for body horror will make
this the most terrifying book on stands! The pair will also explore Bruce
Banner’s psychological state, left in shambles at the end of his latest run
with Bruce and the Hulk’s relationship more fractured than ever. Fans will
experience a vicious hunt as Hulk is made prey by brand-new monster characters
as well as classic favorites, all united in a fiendish new scheme…
As an enraged Hulk tries to take control of Bruce Banner’s
body permanently, a mysterious immortal turns every monster in the Marvel
Universe against Banner in an attempt to free their creator, the primordial
Mother of Horrors. With the help of an unlikely new friend, Banner and Hulk
must try to stop the world from getting plunged into darkness!
“The significance that we’re finally bringing back the
classic title INCREDIBLE HULK is not lost on me. It’s a tremendous
honor, and Nic and I have the clearest possible vision for what we want to do
with this story,” Johnson explained. “Nic Klein is a genius, and working with
him is pushing me to write a story worthy of his very best.”
“Phillip and I put a big serving of monsters, a bit of
eldritch gods, a good dash of suspense, and some cool new characters into the
cauldron,” Klein added. “We’re trying to serve up a Hulk the readers haven’t
seen before. And if they like it half as much as I’m enjoying drawing it,
they’re gonna love it."
“The work that Al, Joe and the rest did with Immortal
Hulk was so impactful and spoke so clearly to me personally, it was
impossible to come up with an idea that wasn’t inspired by it,” Johnson
continued. “We’re getting back to Stan Lee’s Frankenstein/Jekyll & Hyde
inspirations for the character, and giving readers a proper monster book in the
best, truest Hulk tradition. If you loved Immortal Hulk, if you
love ghost stories, if you love Marvel monsters, if you loved old school
‘adventure of the month’ stories from books like Marvel Team-Up,
and if you want the best, most timeless Hulk art you’ve ever seen, you DO NOT
want to miss this return of INCREDIBLE HULK.”
