Infernal Hulk #9 — Nic Klein and Adam Gorham Fuel the Apocalypse

The Fallen Army is everywhere, and Bruce Banner has nowhere left to run. With Nic Klein’s cover setting the tone for a war between the Hulk and the Fantastic Four, Infernal Hulk #9 brings Doctor Voodoo into the fray in a way that feels dangerously final.

There is a specific kind of panic that comes with watching a narrative tighten its grip. In Infernal Hulk #9, that feeling is all-encompassing. You are not just reading a superhero comic; you are witnessing the endgame of a possession that has turned Bruce Banner into the most dangerous threat the planet has ever known. And right now, the people trying to stop him are running out of places to hide.

The scope of this conflict has expanded past simple street-level brawls. The Fallen Army is spreading globally, turning the world itself into a battlefield. At the center of it all is the Baxter Building, the fortress of the Fantastic Four. Reed Richards believes he has the solution, the secret weapon that will finally bring this version of Hulk to heel. But in a book where the Hulk is the apex predator, hope is a dangerous thing to cling to.

Meanwhile, the narrative splits its focus in a brilliantly tense way. While the physical war rages in New York, Bruce Banner’s original consciousness is waging a different kind of battle. He and Doctor Voodoo have launched what can only be described as a suicide mission into the Soul Cages. They aren't looking for a fistfight; they are looking for a weapon of a different sort entirely. It is a gamble with the soul itself, and the odds are stacked against them.

Visually, this issue is a masterpiece of atmospheric dread. Adam Gorham’s interior art has a texture to it that feels suffocating and ancient, grounding the supernatural elements in something gritty and real. You can feel the weight of the infernal presence in every panel. Then there is Nic Klein’s cover, which serves as the perfect invitation into this chaos. Klein knows how to use space and shadow to make you feel like you’re standing on the edge of something vast and terrible. It’s a cover that doesn’t just sell the issue; it sells the vibe.

If you are looking for a companion read that captures that same sense of escalating doom, keep an eye on the surrounding Marvel line. When the Hulk is fighting for the world, the fallout is felt everywhere. This issue is a great place to jump in if you want to see how the heroes try to counter a threat that doesn't care about rules. Trust me, once you start, you won't want to stop until you see if Banner can come back from the cages.
