• 0:12
  Hi guys it's Megan from Vigilante Vibes and I am here to
• 0:15
  talk about a comic that a listener actually asked me to
• 0:20
  make a video about and honestly I am happy to do it because it
• 0:23
  was so good. So I want to talk about The
• 0:26
  Infernal Hulk. They just released the second
• 0:30
  issue this past week, so I put off making this video for about
• 0:34
  a week or two so I could read it and it was fantastic.
• 0:39
  The writers, Philip Kennedy Johnson and then the artist Nick
• 0:43
  Klein, colorist Matt Wilson, letterer Corey Pettitte.
• 0:47
  It is a stacked creative team. I think Nick Klein is one of the
• 0:51
  most underrated artists of Marvel currently, so I think he
• 0:56
  more than shows him shows his talents and throughout The
• 0:58
  Infernal Hulk. So I'm gonna talk to you about
• 1:03
  the Infernal Hulk, not just the creative team.
• 1:05
  What happens in The Infernal Hulk Basically, Bruce Banner and
• 1:12
  the Hulk have been ripped apart into by an entity called the
• 1:18
  eldest. The Eldest possesses the Hulk's
• 1:22
  body to 'cause chaos, of course, and has taken over the Hulk, and
• 1:29
  Bruce Banner is nowhere to be found and he might be the only
• 1:32
  one that's able to help. So the Inferno Hulk, it starts
• 1:36
  very, very, it starts very calm. Just two guys at a construction
• 1:43
  job just talking about their lives.
• 1:45
  And then they're like, what was that?
• 1:47
  What was that sound? And then it switches to seeing
• 1:51
  the Infernal Hulk going on a rampage, taking down an entire
• 1:54
  town, and the US military is out of the town waiting for the
• 1:59
  Infernal Hulk, telling themselves it's not a big deal,
• 2:01
  guys, it's the Hulk. He was an Avenger.
• 2:03
  It's fine. No, no, it's not.
• 2:08
  The Infernal Hulk comes out and then kills people, possesses
• 2:13
  their body. Basically the Infernal Hulk is
• 2:16
  making an army of his own or her own.
• 2:19
  The eldest is a female, but the Hulk is a male.
• 2:23
  Show, I don't know. But so yeah, the Infernal Hulk
• 2:29
  is going through making their own army.
• 2:33
  And I will say, like, I've read a lot of Marvel Comics, but like
• 2:36
  this one sent shivers up my spine.
• 2:40
  The horror aspect of the comic was so pristinely written.
• 2:44
  Just like there's just such a build up of tension.
• 2:48
  There's so much happening. But there's also, it's very,
• 2:51
  very linear, the story. So it it keeps you locked into
• 2:57
  the comic until the very last page and you're just kind of
• 3:00
  like, but I want so much more. I want to see so much more.
• 3:05
  There's just, there's so much to love about it.
• 3:09
  You can jump in. All you really need to know is
• 3:12
  that Bruce Banner and the Hulk have been ripped apart.
• 3:15
  They're no longer one vessel. But I mean, it even tells you
• 3:21
  that you you could jump in whenever.
• 3:23
  But with the Infernal Hulk, I hadn't read the stuff before it.
• 3:27
  I've read plenty of Hulk comics, but I'm not a big Hulk fan.
• 3:31
  And jumping right in, I loved it.
• 3:35
  I I loved it. But then it's like, is it just a
• 3:40
  really strong start? Is there more to it?
• 3:44
  Is this just is it has it peaked?
• 3:47
  And then the second one came out and I'm here to tell you it did
• 3:49
  not peak. And it is still going.
• 3:52
  It is still continuing. Philip Kennedy Johnson continues
• 3:55
  this exciting time. And I loved it because the
• 4:00
  second one actually involves Neymour, who is my favorite
• 4:03
  toxic baddie. He's just in that comic.
• 4:08
  The Avengers are on a call with Neymour and they're trying to
• 4:12
  tell them, look, man, you got to get out of there.
• 4:14
  You got to do something. The Hulk was spotted over the
• 4:18
  Pacific and he might be coming for Atlantis.
• 4:23
  And Neymour's like, I am not scared, I do not care.
• 4:27
  You guys suck. I'm awesome.
• 4:30
  Peace. And then right before they get
• 4:33
  off the call, you hear a huge sound and The Avengers are like,
• 4:37
  dude, Oh no, bad things are about to happen.
• 4:40
  And Neymour's like, I gotta go. So Neymour's like, this ain't
• 4:47
  got me much. It's just a Hulk.
• 4:48
  Little does he know that is the Infernal Hulk.
• 4:52
  It is taken over by an evil entity that just has chaotic
• 4:58
  powers and has and just wants to be everyone's problem.
• 5:01
  So the the Infernal Hulk makes her presence very known, makes
• 5:08
  herself very known. And then what you don't realize
• 5:12
  is that her brother, her younger brother, is asleep in Atlantis.
• 5:17
  So that's who she's trying to take over.
• 5:20
  And the brother is way bigger than her.
• 5:23
  So it's like things are heating up spectacularly, and I am so
• 5:30
  here for it. I'm so excited.
• 5:32
  There's not many comics that are able to capture the horror
• 5:35
  aspect and continue to keep it going throughout the second
• 5:40
  issue. Like the vibe never changed.
• 5:43
  It was all gas, no breaks throughout the entire time and
• 5:48
  I'm just really excited to see more.
• 5:49
  So if you have checked out the Infernal Hulk please let me know
• 5:53
  in the comments what you thought because I just think it's too
• 5:56
  good not for people not to see it like the art. 10 out of 10
• 6:01
  Incredible. If you're watching this video on
• 6:03
  YouTube you will see the eye of pictures from the book so you
• 6:07
  can see the art for yourself. But if you are not, you'll have
• 6:11
  to use your imagination or just go read the comic, it's that
• 6:14
  good. So if you have read the comic,
• 6:16
  let me know in the comments what you thought.
• 6:18
  Did you like it? Did you love it?
• 6:20
  Where do you see it going? Because personally, I have no
• 6:23
  idea and I'm stressed about that.
• 6:26
  So with that being said, thank you for listening to my
• 6:29
  ramblings and have a marvelous day.
