"Steve and I always had our disagreements. Like that time I broke all of his fingers and he drank a demon and coveres his hands in maces so he could punch me again."

Anyone who would still let you crash on their couch after all that is a true friend, indeed.

"Also, Steve hated it when I called him Steve. And he still let me crash his couch."

I greatly dislike both Hulk and art style, but this was a really good and intriguing horror story. Al Ewing is brilliant.

I like how the Hulk's appearance is reminiscent of his early days.

Yeah, the writer's meticulous love of all previous lore is a thing to admire!

Was that the writer's call? I figured it was the artist.

Is the “ghost” there Old Man Rick Jones from Avengers Forever/PAD’s Captain Marvel?

Also, I really like this version of the Hulk. He’s a nasty brute... but everyone he goes after is worse.

"Steve" ? Is that something Bruce has called Stephen before?

This is Ewing, so I presume Hulk has - in some limited series no one but Ewing read in the last 30 years.

There reaches a level of continuity guru where you can make stuff up and people will just nod and go, 'yea, seems legit.'

(*Very* few people are on this level)

He certainly did during the Grey Hulk era back in the 80s.
