Marvel Comics has announced the new creative team for Incredible Hulk, and it’s writer Phillip Kennedy Johnson and artist Nic Klein! The series follows Donny Cates and Ryan Ottley’s run on the character, which ends with Hulk #14 on April 26th. Marvel is calling it a ‘horror-fueled new era’ for the character. Incredible Hulk will debut in comic shops on June 21st.
“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.”
So what’s Incredible Hulk about?
“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.”
Launching in June, check out the cover below.

While I haven't finished up the Donn Cates/Ryan Ottley Hulk run just yet (because I'm reading on Marvel Unlimited), I've been a real fan of Nic Kline on Thor with Donny Cates, so yeah, I'll be reading these for sure.
