Incredible Hulk #1 Trailer

Published by Kevin on August 1st, 2011 - in Comic News

Incredible Hulk #1

Incredible Hulk #1


Marvel has just released this trailer for the upcoming relaunch of Incredible Hulk #1, which is due to hit store shelves in October. I’m glad to see this series getting a relaunch, it has been in need of a re-tooling for quite some time as the Hulk universe has become a little too convoluted. Hopefully this new series will take things back to basics a little bit. Jason Aaron has been writing some solid stories over the last few years, and Marc Silvestri providing the art is a definite plus!

Here’s what Marvel had to say:

Marvel Architect Jason Aaron joins forces with legendary artist Marc Silvestri to redefine the Hulk in an all new ongoing series. After the events of Fear Itself, the Hulk has gone into hiding, seemingly safe from a world that hates and fears him. But when government agents come knocking at his door, the Hulk has no choice but to return to war against the one man whose existence threatens the safety of every living creature on the Earth. The one man who’s existence could doom the Hulk himself. And that man is Bruce Banner. Now separated into two men, the Hulk and Banner exist worlds apart but one climactic battle will bring them face to face again—and leave the Marvel Universe shaking in its wake.

New Ultimate Spider-Man

Promo for Ultimate Spider-Man #1


A month before that “other relaunch” gets underway, Marvel will be relaunching its Ultimate Comics universe with new creative teams, and someone new playing the role of Spider-Man.

Yesterday Stadium Comics participated in a retailer conference call with Marvel Editor-in-chief Axel Alonso and writers Brian Michael Bendis (Ultimate Spider-Man), Jonathan Hickman (Ultimates, Ultimate Hawkeye), and Nick Spencer (Ultimate X-Men).

Ultimate Fallout #4 was revealed to be a pivotal issue leading up to this relaunch as it will contain the first appearance of the new Spider-Man. Marvel has said this will receive mainstream press attention. at a level somewhere in between the death of Johnny Storm, and the death of Captain America. Issue 4 will ship with a clear polybag. They’ve also stated that Ultimate Fallout #1 will be a direct continuation of the Death of Ultimate Spider-Man.
