Infernal Hulk To End After 10 Issues In Time For New Spider-Man Movie?

Infernal Hulk to end after ten issues top make way for a Hulk closer to that in Spider-Man: Brand New Day as played by Mark Ruffalo?

I guess this is probably a planned conclusion rather than a cancellation due to low sales, but anyway, a listing has just popped up for a non-volume numbered Infernal Hulk collection. No content listing yet, but the page count, 232, indicates it will collect 10 issues. And it's this kind of behaviour that usually indicates a cancelled Marvel title. However, Phillip Kennedy Johnson, having signed an exclusive contract with Marvel Comics, has previously said that Infernal Hulk is the second part of his three-part Hulk story. And might it also suggest there will be something more in keeping with the portrayal of The Hulk that we will see in the Spider-Man: Brand New Day movie, as played by Mark Ruffalo, rather than this raging hellbeast?
