Marvel’s September is shaping up with some big releases, not the least of which is issue #1000 of Amazing Spider-Man.

Marvel revealed the issue’s cover back in May, and it seems like everyone’s got an opinion on it. Drawn by legendary Marvel artist John Romita Jr. and colored by Paolo Rivera, the cover featured Spider-Man either swinging or shrugging, depending on who you asked. Both artists have plenty of Spider-Man on their resumes, and in Romita’s case, it’s in his blood, so they seem like natural choices to mark this milestone. But, y’know, it’s the internet, and it can be loud, or at leats seem loud when you’re in the crosshairs.

Phillip Kennedy Johnson + Nic Klein usher in a new age of monsters in ‘Infernal Hulk’ 

The next chapter in the horror saga begins in November.

Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Nic Klein’s run on the Incredible Hulk may be ending, but they still have plans for the Jade Giant, the Eldest, the Mother of Horrors and the rest cast they’ve been building for the last two years.

Marvel will relaunch the title as Infernal Hulk in November, and they’ve revealed that Bruce Banner’s days as the Hulk are over — at least for now. Because something far worse is taking over the Hulk.

“I’ve been promising Hulk fans the biggest, boldest status quo change in Hulk’s history, and that time is finally here,” Johnson said. “The next few issues of Incredible Hulk give fans all the answers they’ve been waiting for about Eldest and the Mother of Horrors, and Infernal Hulk is the beginning of a terrifying new normal, not just for the Hulk series but for the entire Marvel Universe.”

Johnson, Klein and other artists like Daniel Earls, have returned the Hulk to his monster roots in Incredible Hulk, introducing even worse creatures than the Hulk. The story has centered on the Mother of Horrors and the Eldest, two horrific beings who have made the Hulk’s life hell — with plans to use his body to wage war on the rest of the Marvel Universe.

“There are monsters way worse and more powerful than anything we’ve seen so far, bigger and stronger than Hulk with origins that go back to the foundations of the Earth. It’s time to take this story to the next level, and no corner of the Marvel Universe will be left untouched before the end,” Johnson said.

Here’s the main cover and a promo image by Nic Klein:
