Has Ewing ever talked about Horsemen Hulk? I wonder where he falls into, just Savage Hulk being aided by Apocalypse's tech?
This shouldn't even be a point of contention, War Hulk was literally just Savage/Gravage Hulk at the time amped by Celestial tech, it's not a new personality and he was extremely short lived, he isn't even an afterthought on Ewings mind right now.
I think War Hulk was in the later PAD era. I think PAD's intention with that Hulk persona is that it was still technically the Merged Hulk, but missing the Banner component that was stuck in Heroes Reborn (although he turned into a long-haired Savage Hulk there). Although when Banner returned they just returned to the old transformations pretty much instead of becoming merged again. (although Jenkins later stated the Hulk who confronted the Abomination in Casey's short post-PAD run was the Professor).
This was before of course before the retcon in Jenkin's run that made Merged the "Professor", a personality independent of Savage, Grey, and Banner created in part by Doc Samson.

Incredible Hulk #296
“To Kill or Cure!”

Writer: Bill Mantlo
Artist: Sal Buscema
Inker: Gerry Talaoc
Letterer: Joe Rosen

Guest Stars/Supporting Cast: Rom, Kate Waynesboro
Antagonist: The Hammer Hulk
Synopsis: Rom the Spaceknight is led to believe that the energy readings emanating from Northwind Observatory is created by the Dire Wraiths or a man-made accident. Inside, the Hulk watches in horror as the Hammer has transformed into an aged Hulk-like creature. All around, the recently cured begin collapsing and dying. The Hammer Hulk attacks Banner, who is reluctant to defend himself after his recent bouts of anger after returning from Battleworld. Fed up with the beatings, Banner tosses the crutch aside and attempts to subdue the gamma mobster. It works against him, as Hammer strikes at the Hulk’s wounded leg…and Bruce Banner succumbs to the pain and anger that has been boiling up inside him for the last few weeks and the Incredible Hulk is reborn. He violently sends the Hammer Hulk careening thru the Observatory ceiling and across the countryside, vowing that he smash Hammer “to death!” Rom arrives and after hearing Kate’s pleas, cures everyone with his Energy-Analyzer of their gamma-induced sickness. This gives Kate hope that he can do the same for Bruce, but all it does it cure Hammer of his Hulkness. After several more attempts with the Analyzer, Banner is able to wrest control momentarily. He quickly loses it and attacks Rom, pummeling him in a rage until Kate attempts to calm him down and is struck in anger. This realization brings Banner back and he leaps away in horror at what he’s done…
Commentary: Now THIS is the issue I remember being the first comic I ever owned. Don’t know how many copies I had after ripping the cover, losing the 2nd copy, etc, but I do remember coloring the Hulk’s legs with a purple crayon on every copy I had back then. Fat-Head alert on the splash of the Savage Hulk returning after a two year absence.

HULK SMASH PUNY AVENGERS
Good to know that all the early reactions to IH: Flatline are very positive so far, from what I've seen.
Preview for the new issue is up. Nice continuity reference to Joe's old Vegas boss.

Anybody else think Joe's current look is pretty much GTA V/Walking Dead/Snowpiercer etc. actor Steven Ogg?
