We\u2019ve been telling you to read Phillip Kennedy Johnson\u2019s Incredible Hulk run from the beginning, and now\u2019s your chance to get in on the new series! Continuing from Incredible, the evil entity known as Eldest has literally torn the Hulk apart and has taken his body as its own! The Infernal Hulk is a million times the monster that Hulk was always feared to be, infused with the primordial seed of corruption. The Age of Monsters has begun, as the Eldest plots to return the world to the ancient horrors buried deep deep within the Earth, and plans to turn our heroes into nightmares. Starting in Red Creek, Kentucky, it may fall on the powerless Bruce Banner to stop Eldest\u2019s evil before it spreads farther and farther. Full of the body horror and gore we enjoyed in PKJ\u2019s first series drawn by Nic Klein!<\/p>\n\n\n

Matt Murdock is representing the Gnucci family in court, but when one of their sons is murdered, it leads Daredevil to the Punisher. Frank Castle presents Daredevil with a moral conundrum \u2013 when the criminals you thought you put away for life return, does the system really work? Do you have what it takes to pull the trigger? As the Punisher targets the Gnucci family, and minor crime bosses step up to fill the vacancy, the conflict threatens Hell\u2019s Kitchen, and it falls to Daredevil to contain the chaos!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
