I personally would love it if we had the Hulk personas all in action in the next ongoing series. Each one coming out when needed or if a situation calls for a particular persona.
Savage Hulk - For simple smash and bash.
Joe Fixit/Sunshine Joe - When they need a Hulk who is less destructive, more crafty, yet can smash if necessary.
Devil Hulk - When the threats are massive - Planetary to Multiversal - and will require a more brutal, malevolent approach.
Green Scar - When the threats are massive - Planetary to Multiversal - but require a Hulk that's a warrior and heroic who will only kill if absolutely necessary.
Professor Hulk - When a situation requires Banner's intellect, yet still may require the power of the Hulk to get the job done.
Gillen, yes. I always talk about the usual suspects as far as great current go, like Zdarsky (I'd suppose He can write a great Hulk), Hickman, Jenkins, Lemire etc. One writer I haven't mentioned before is Saladin Ahmed: the guy is amazing, and his Eisner-winning Black Bolt is proof enough He can write anything, imo.
One thing i am hoping happens at some point in the series is the merging of ALL the incarnations, not necessarily merging to create an entirely new persona, but them merging to combine their power to fight TOBA or something, because i am still not sure how Ewing imagines Hulk/Bruce taking on TOBA which is the second most powerful being in all of Marvel in a realistic way, the only way is for TOBA to job or give Hulk a ludicrous outlier.
So i am hoping all the incarnations end up working together inside the mindscape, pull their power together, this could actually manifest itself in the real world in some way as well, like since body horror is a thing and Bennett is an insanely good artist i wouldn't be against him drawing a giant Hulk with maybe like 4 arms coming out of him instead of 2 and each arm representing a different Hulk, you have the regular green arm, you have Devil Hulks lizard arm, you have Green Scar with the spikes and you have Grey Hulks arm, that would be quite something.
I think Ewing at least teased such a thing happening, but at the time it was "evil" Bruce

And i remember when asked if there is a good/non-evil version of it, he said if there is it's best to leave it the pages of the comic, which makes me thing he already has the idea of it in his mind

I agree Merged Hulk wasn't the best incarnation, but we also didn't have Devil and personalities like Fixit getting stronger.
I was merely thinking that one problem that's always plagued the title is getting the voice right, be it Salad Head or Merged, even Banner can't catch a break being a fragile needy scientist in one book and competent scientific powerhouse in another. Which is why I think it'll be a new status quo, instead of Ewing putting the toys away.
Now if that means Bruce understands his system better and we get a true merged Hulk (where he can subconsciously call upon alters as needed as we saw in the Xemnu arc) I dunno. I'd rather see a more together Bruce in other words. I'm tired of the character being all weepy, always thinking of suicide, terrified of "the big guy", etc. With Samson back, there'd be a lot of fertile ground to explore this new being calling itself Bruce/Hulk and what he's truly capable of and what that means for the world. Does he go on the road ala Immortal Hulk? Does he isolate and get himself together ala Ultimate Hulk vs Wolverine? Does he become proactive like Pak's Banner? And as with all reinventions/status quos, you can reintroduce him and play off the whole Marvel U.
Basically, I have zero confidence someone can follow up Ewing's work at the level we're used to so he'll make it easy.

Peralta's art here is really...meh. :/
That was kind of how the Jenkins run from the early 200s went, there was kind of a revolving door of Hulk personas, especially since Banner was not only dying but also was still reeling from Betty's death. This also crossed over into other comics such as Defenders/The Order and Hulk's guest appearance in the Avengers where a European nation all became Hulks. Loeb also did that a bit too, Savage, Joe and Green Scar all showed up in his run (although of course the main focus was on the Red Hulk).
