INTRODUCING THE HELLBUSTER ARMOR! When Infernal Hulk pushes Earth’s Mightiest Heroes to the brink, IRON MAN leads an overpowered strike force to level the Living City and end the Age of Monsters forever. Will Tony’s new HELLBUSTER ARMOR and the spear of the ONE ABOVE ALL be enough to keep him alive against the INFERNAL HULK? Or will he be corrupted like all the others?
Written by Phillip Kennedy Johnson, The Infernal Hulk #6 makes it clear the dire situation things are in. The world’s heroes decide to assault the Infernal Hulk leading to a battle that feels epic and ominous and making it clear this is an issue that won’t easily be dealt with.
The Infernal Hulk #6 is an interesting issue. While it’s really good, it also feels like there’s slight bit of set up missing. The previous issue teased it but there’s clearly some time and actions behind the scenes that are skipped over to move the story along. It’s not bad, but at times feels like the reader might be missing something. Still, the comic is entertaining and massive in its scale of destruction.
Johnson does a fantastic job of letting small details really emphasize the precarious nature of the situation. There’s lines about the destruction or what might happen that lays out the seriousness of it all. It really nails down the horror aspect of it all and you can feel reality set in for the characters.
The art by Adam Gorham is solid. With color by Matthew Wilson and lettering by Travis Lanham, the comic’s visuals make it clear this is destruction on a massive level and a brutal battle. The final visuals of Tony after really highlight the terror of what’s going on and what readers have just witnessed. Again, it nails the horror vibe of the story with almost religious overtones with panels that feel like they’re made for the big screen.
The Infernal Hulk #6 is a solid entry in the series that’s clear building toward what’s next in the epic battle to stop the Infernal Hulk. It just shows how difficult a task it’ll be to stop this threat and also shows the level of destruction that might occur to do that. It’s a nice tease of the war to come.
