Incredible Hulk #10

The Incredible Hulk feels a lot like Hellboy or Eric Powell's Hillbilly, in that it just finds ways to bring in all sorts of interesting supernatural lore. Read Full Review

Incredible Hulk #10 delivers the second part of the Frozen Charlotte story. Here, we see Hulk rampage a little before finding a friendly ghost who once investigated the titular villainess, and helps him find the monster's lair. Admittedly, this comic is not that excitable, but you do learn more about the history of Frozen Charlotte and her murderous time in New Orleans, even how she got the name. The art from Danny Earls works best when depicting the dark and gothic lair of the new monster, and Frozen Charlotte herself. But while this issue was low on the action, we'll be getting more of that in the next issue as Hulk finally confronts Frozen Charlotte. Read Full Review

Earls offers some interesting art in the issue. The visual style doesnt really work for me in how it depicts the Hulk and the other characters outside of the monster. There is a flatness to the imagery that feels unfinished. Read Full Review

The Incredible Hulk #10 takes the slow road to nowhere with a poorly-pace, actionless issue that only serves to get Hulk from point A to point B. The monster-of-the-month model has overstayed its welcome, and the guest art in this issue is subpar. Read Full Review

This arc could be a bit tighter, but PKJ uses the slower pacing to create a creepy atmosphere, aided by guest artist Danny Earls, who, as I felt with the last issue, draws New Orleans very well. Each monster we’ve been introduced to throughout this series has been really neat, and Frozen Charlotte is no exception, in terms of her design, backstory, and motive.

Whether or not the book has a dark atmosphere I can’t argue, as it’s a matter of opinion. Its creature designs and setting is enough for me.

As for the elimination of men, this seems to be a conspiracy that you have already decided to believe despite there being no evidence. The main character is a man, aided by another man in this issue, trying to save a girl who is being held captive by the antagonist, a woman. When Charlie is in trouble, she yells for Banner’s—a man’s—help. Wouldn’t an ultra-feminist writer trying to eliminate men have this young girl save herself instead of needing a man to save her? It doesn’t really add up.

Yes, Charlie was abused by her father, but this is something that sadly happens in the real world. It is obviously not an indictment of all men, because not every man in this book is an abuser. It’s a delicate subject, but PKJ has handled it with remarkable tact. If you didn’t like the issue I get it, but this isn’t a left-wing conspiracy to emasculate the West. To see it as that you had to have approached the book wanting to see it that way.

The arc's a lot of fun but boggled down by mediocre art.

I really hope this isn't a sign of things to come for this series. Don't get me wrong, this was a solid issue. However, it felt like it dragged a little bit in certain places, in my opinion. I do still think Earls's art is good, but I also understand how some people may be disappointed by the change from Nic Klein. Either way, I hope this arc finishes out strong with the next issue and I'm really looking forward to Klein returning with the following one.

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. It continues into a second issue because they wasted so much time in this one. I hate to see this title go down hill. My Comic Review Channel - https://youtu.be/CCvAunrX5Bk

The Hulk has been able to see ghosts/the astral plane for several years now.

fzanca - Mar 27, 2024

That still makes no sense. He's not a supernatural character. He was hit with gamma rays not ectoplasm.

maljoss - Mar 27, 2024

Yeah, Hulk seeing ghosts has been a thing for a long time. Doesn't come up much, but it's a thing.

fzanca - Mar 27, 2024

It seems out of place and definitely didn't elevate this issue at all. A lot of people are on the verge of dropping this title. I hope they get their shit together cause it started strong.

maljoss - Mar 28, 2024

Yeah, it's a pretty random ability. I'm with you on being disappointed by this series. It needs to go somewhere, fast, or I'm getting out. I'm giving it 2 more issues, and if things dont get better, I'm out. I have better uses for 4.00. The stalled plot is only part of the problem. The art is wildly inconsistent. I'd rather they put a guy like Travel Forman on permenantly, then having Nic Klein intermitantly. The costant fill-in artists are killing the vibe.

fzanca - Mar 28, 2024

Agreed

ResearchReader - Mar 30, 2024

Agreed with your point malijoss on all account. The inconsistency in this run (and other Marvel runs are really destroying them)

Kreniigh - Apr 3, 2024

Roy Thomas established Hulk's ability to see ghosts and astral projections due to "something in his warped nature" in 1971!

Appreciate the footnote, Kreniigh. Many thanks.

I dont know I just feel apathy towards this issue. Its not terrible but why is Hulk chilling with ghosts and why did the genre change to noir for the majority of this issue? Do not get me wrong, I like noir but in a Hulk...? This also just feels too repetitive. The monster of the week stuff is getting boring. The art does not help. The lack of action makes it so much worse. We need the plot to move forward in a meaningful way. Not whatever we got here.

It had started so well. But for a few issues now, I've been terribly bored; the overall quality, whether in terms of the artwork or the story, has significantly declined, and overall, it feels tedious, as if the story is going in circles. It seems like Philip Kennedy doesn't believe in it anymore.

This issue was pretty rough. I can't say I really enjoyed any of it. Especially the art.
