Houston Virgin Variant — Arsenal Comics & Cape & Cowl Exclusive**
The next entry in my ongoing Hulk 181 Cover Set brings in a modern powerhouse: Hulk (Vol. 4) #6N, presented here in the Houston Virgin Variant, exclusive to Arsenal Comics and Cape & Cowl Comics.
This variant takes the iconic 1974 Incredible Hulk #181 cover and reimagines it with bold, modern energy — all while tying into a major moment in Hulk’s current mythology.
π Issue Details
Title: Hulk (Vol. 4) #6N
Variant: Houston Virgin Variant
Exclusives: Arsenal Comics / Cape & Cowl Comics
Edition Type: Modern Virgin Variant
Homage to: The Incredible Hulk #181 (1974)
π₯ Key Issue Significance
π 1st Full Appearance of the Titan Hulk Persona
This issue marks the definitive, fully realized emergence of Titan Hulk, one of Bruce Banner’s most dangerous and monstrous identities. Titan Hulk plays a major role in modern Hulk continuity, making Hulk #6N one of the standout keys of the current era.
That combination — a key modern issue paired with a full-art homage — puts this variant firmly on the radar for collectors.
π¨ Variant Cover Notes
This Houston-exclusive Virgin Variant delivers a perfect modern echo of the classic 181 cover:
-
Wolverine in classic yellow-and-blue, diving straight into the fight
-
Hulk braced and ready, massive presence front and center
-
Wendigo charging below, completing the iconic trio
-
No trade dress → pure artwork
-
Clean lines, saturated colors, and a dynamic composition
It’s easily one of the strongest modern 181-themed variants.
