CBR: These past few issues have felt like a story about demonic possession with the Hulk's arch-enemy, the Leader, serving as the possessing malevolent entity. Was that your intent? And what made you want to introduce the Leader into your long-form story this way?

Al Ewing: I don't know if it was the entire intent, but if it conveys that feeling, that's good - it's definitely in the ballpark I was going for. As for the Leader, I knew I'd be introducing him before I was done, and as the book took shape and I knew what #25 looked like, I knew the Leader was going to be a major villain moving on from that story. But he had to be introduced in a way that fit the horror tone of the book, and the person you thought you knew actually being possessed by an evil invasive entity is a horror trope as old as horror itself.
