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. Visit our Patreon page to see the various tiers you can sign up for today to get in on the ground floor of AIPT Patreon. We hope to see you chatting with us on our Discord soon! NEWS Spider-Man, Hulk, and Punisher collide in Jonathan Hickman's new Marvel event series Bishop scores new solo miniseries starting June 2026 Marvel reveals new ‘Spider-Man/Superman' #1 covers and interior art too Venom Unleashed news! Exclusive: Read the full first issue of 'The Untamed' as Stranger Comics reveals Emerald City Comic Con exclusives Our Top Books of the Week: Dave: Amazing Spider-Man #23 (Joe Kelly, Ed McGuinness) Lands Unknown: The Skinless Man #1 (Ben Stenbeck) Chris:​​ Cult of the Lamb: Last Sacrament Special #1 (Alex Paknadel, Troy Little) Narco #1 (Doug Wagner, Daniel Hillyard) Standout KAPOW moment of the week: Chris: Cult of the Lamb: Last Sacrament Special #1 (Alex Paknadel, Troy Little) Dave: DC K.O. #5 (Scott Snyder, Javier Fernandez) TOP BOOKS FOR NEXT WEEK Chris: Tigress Island #1 (Patrick Kindlon, EPHK) Dave: Assorted Crisis Events #9 (Deniz Camp, Eric Zawadzki) JUDGING BY THE COVER JR. Dave: Absolute Batman #18 (TONS of retailer covers but going with Dexter Soy) Chris: Logan: Black, White & Blood #3 (Chris Campana Variant) Interview: Phillip Kennedy Johnson 1. On Horror as Hulk's Natural State With Infernal Hulk, you've fully repositioned Hulk as a horror icon rather than just a force of destruction. What makes horror such a natural lens for this character, and what aspects of Bruce and Hulk feel newly unlocked for you in that genre? 2. On Marvel Exclusivity & Timing You're now officially Marvel exclusive while also wrapping up Book of El at DC. Creatively, what does this moment represent for you? Does going exclusive feel like narrowing your focus, or opening up the sandbox in a bigger way? 3. On Bruce Without the Monster One of the smartest pivots in this run has been stripping Bruce away from the Hulk and forcing him to watch the consequences. What fascinates you most about Bruce when he's powerless and confronted with what the Hulk becomes without him? 4. On Writing Other Heroes Judging Bruce You've written the wider Marvel Universe reacting to Bruce in a way that feels tense, even cruel at times. Why was it important that the heroes not simply rally around him? 6. On the Living City Concept The Living City feels mythic, grotesque, and operatic all at once. What inspired that setting, and how important is it that Hulk's world now feels almost biblical in scope? 7. On INFERNAL HULK #7 and the X-Men In issue #7, Hulk exerts mysterious control over mutantkind and draws them into the Living City. That's a bold escalation. What makes the X-Men the right foil for this version of Hulk, and how does their connection to identity and mutation complicate what Eldest is doing? 7. You and Ben Percy are both playing in Marvel's darker corners right now, and “Dungeons of Doom” has that same horror-forward energy we're seeing in Infernal Hulk. What's it been like working alongside Ben in shaping that space, and how do you make sure your vision of horror and mythic stakes complements rather than overlaps with what he's building? 8. Fun Silly Question If Eldest decided to build the perfect army out of Marvel characters purely based on vibes, who would absolutely make the cut… and who would Eldest reject immediately for being “bad monster material”? 9. Any other projects you'd like to plug?

Steve Orlando is one of the busiest writers in comics right now, and this week on the AIPT Comics Podcast, we're running our full, uncut conversation with him. Earlier this week, we published a written feature focused on his Scarlet Witch run, but this episode expands far beyond that, covering everything from Deadweight with Bobby Lee to Valiant Beyond: X-O Manowar, DC x AEW, his chance to judge on Dragula Titans season 2, Tarzan Beyond, X-Men Infinity, and even a teased return to Midnighter! If you wanted the complete Orlando download, this is it.   Visit our Patreon page to see the various tiers you can sign up for today to get in on the ground floor of AIPT Patreon. We hope to see you chatting with us on our Discord soon! NEWS ‘Sonic vs. Godzilla' is finally happening, and it's bigger than you think See new Origin Box characters Hostilicus and Wonder Man from 'Reborn: Ultimate Impact' Marvel's WHAT IF? returns with wild twists for its 50th anniversary Marvel brings 'Magic: The Gathering Spider-Man' art to new variant covers 'JLA/Avengers' is coming back to comic shops this summer 2026 Oni Press unveils bold fall 2026 graphic novel lineup Our Top Books of the Week: Dave: Infernal Hulk #4 (Phillip Kennedy Johnson, Nic Klein) The Mighty Thor #7 (Al Ewing, Pasqel Ferry) Alex:​​ Power Fantasy #16 (Gillen, Wijnegaard) Absolute Wonder Woman #17 (Kelly Thompson, Hayden Sherman) Standout KAPOW moment of the week: Alex: Sorcerer Supreme #3 (Bernard Chang, Ruth Redmond) Dave: Hulk Smash Everything #3 (Ryan North, Vincenzo Carratu) TOP BOOKS FOR NEXT WEEK Alex: Moonstar #1 (Ashley Allen, Edoardo Audino) & Narco #1 (Doug Wagner, Daniel Hillyard) Dave: Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees: Rite of Spring #6 (Horvath Cover) JUDGING BY THE COVER JR. Dave: The Amazing Spider-Man #23 (Taurin Clarke Cover) Or Maybe Alex: X-Men #26 (Gurihiru Marvel Monster Variant) Interview: Steve Orlando Deadweight (GUNGNIR Publishing) (with Bobby Lee & Matthew Medney) Deadweight sounds completely unhinged in the best way, blending martial arts chaos, horror, and absurdist comedy. When you're co-writing something that springs so directly from Bobby Lee's comedic voice, how do you balance honoring that raw unpredictability while still building a story with emotional stakes and structure? Valiant Beyond: X-O Manowar (out Feb 18) In Valiant Beyond: X-O Manowar, Aric joins the PunX after millennia of isolation, and suddenly honor is tied to community rather than conquest. How has it been carving out your own corner of the Valiant universe? Good Bones Good Bones gathers your horror work into a single anthology, and many of the stories explore queer identity through transformation, secrecy, and bodily autonomy. When you write horror rooted in identity, are you consciously using the genre as metaphor, or does that symbolism emerge naturally through character? Dragula (with Todd McFarlane) You co-judged Dragula alongside Todd McFarlane, which feels like a collision of comics horror and performance art. Did that experience teach you anything about spectacle and theatricality, or inspire you when you're comics work? DC AEW DC and AEW both thrive on spectacle, but they also rely heavily on character-driven drama and long-term storytelling. When writing DC x AEW #1, how did you balance the over-the-top, live-event energy with making sure the character pairings felt emotionally and thematically right, rather than just fun visual mashups? Scarlet Witch Can you talk about or tease the status of Wanda and Vision's relationship as of now? Agatha Harkness is your main antagonist in Sorcerer Supreme, what makes her fun to write? Agatha is the Vishanti's chosen sorcerer supreme, I was curious if you're drawing from any personal life experience having someone be picked over you when writing this story arc? Your run on Scarlet Witch has been released via miniseries, are there advantages (and disadvantages) to this format? Wanda Maximoff has worn a lot of labels over the years—Avenger, sorceress, reality shaper, occasional cosmic wildcard. How do you personally view her place in that ecosystem? Additional General Questions Your bibliography moves fluidly between superhero epics, indie horror, licensed work, and now chaotic comedy with Deadweight. How do you recalibrate your voice between projects without losing what makes a story feel unmistakably yours?
