"The Incredible Hulk" #12 continues with Bruce Banner attempting to take control of his body over The Hulk. The Eldest is using monsters to hunt down The Hulk in an attempt to bring out the Mother Of Horrors. Charlie, a lost teenager who had been travelling with Bruce Banner, was eventually caught in The Eldest's web and turned into a doll by Frozen Charlotte.
The story begins in New Orleans at the Strange Academy where a few students are playing video games. A commotion occurs as The Hulk breaks into the Academy looking for Doctor Strange with the doll in hand. The Hulk is greeted by Doctor Voodoo who explains what is necessary to undo this piece of magic. However, this is going to require the coordinated help of The Hulk and Bruce Banner.
Banner is going to have to enter the Soul Cage and seek out the Flesh-Weaver Sumanguru. There will be many obstacles. Sumanguru is known to be the most evil of all men and most certainly cannot be trusted. Phillip Kennedy Johnson has written a story in which the turmoil between Banner and his green self face some very difficult realizations. This should also take a toll on Charlie herself as well. Nic Klein and Matthew Wilson create a canvas among the panels in this book where you can feel each emotion being experienced by each player in the story. They take the horror-laden story of The Hulk to the next level. And just when you didn't think it could get any better!
