Show Notes

Phillip Kennedy Johnson joins the AIPT Comics Podcast this week for a deep dive into one of Marvel’s most fascinating horror books.

We talk all things Infernal Hulk, from why this era of Hulk is finally colliding with the wider Marvel Universe to how Johnson has reshaped Bruce Banner’s world into a Southern Gothic monster epic rooted in Marvel lore. Along the way, we get into the X-Men crossover, the Living City, Dungeons of Doom, his new Marvel exclusive deal, and the bigger plans quietly building beneath the surface of his Hulk run. If you’ve been following Incredible Hulk or wondering where this whole infernal saga is heading, this is the conversation you’ll want to hear.
