Posted on by

Beginning next month, Marvel’s biggest hitters will duke it out for their 60th anniversaries in Hulk vs. Thor: Banner of War! Donny Cates, the writer behind both Hulk and Thor, will team up with artist Martin Coccolo in a story that will smash both character’s current sagas together in a glorious showdown! Kicking off in April’s Hulk vs. Thor: Banner of War Alpha #1, the five-part crossover will explode in the pages of both Hulk and Thor’s hit solo titles and come to a shocking end in June. Learn what’s to come in the final chapters now!

In Thor #26, Odin forces Thor to realize the gravity of Banner’s situation — and its connection to that mysterious, violent incident in El Paso. But when Iron Man’s interference causes more harm than good, our two rivals face shocking changes that change the stakes of the battle…for good.

Then the time for victory comes at last in Hulk #8. Marvel’s two heaviest hitters expend their rage on one final, brutal brawl that will answer once and for all which of these heroes is the strongest. But in a fight between gods, monsters and men, what becomes of the victor? The loser? And who really has the authority to decide?

Be there when revelations about Hulk’s past and choices Thor makes about the future shake the Marvel Universe to its very core!

Hulk vs. Thor: Banner of War Rages on in May

Posted on by

Launching in April, Marvel’s biggest hitters will duke it out for their 60th anniversaries in Hulk vs. Thor: Banner of War! Donny Cates, the acclaimed writer behind both Hulk and Thor, will team up with rising star artist Martin Coccolo in a story that will smash both character’s current sagas together in a glorious showdown! The five-part crossover will kick off in April’s Hulk vs. Thor: Banner of War Alpha #1 before exploding in the pages of both Hulk and Thor’s hit solo titles throughout May and June.

In May’s Thor #25, part two of “Banner of War,” Banner’s newfound control of his rage is prolonging the fight more than Thor expected, and with Banner holding his own, Thor must get creative. Odin’s breakthrough look into Banner’s psyche seems to slow the violence, but will it be enough?

Later that month in Hulk #7, part three of “Banner of War,” Iron Man interrupts a pivotal moment of Hulk and Thor’s battle to settle a score. Equipped with new “Celestial Hulkbuster” armor of his own design, Tony is convinced that he can ensure Thor’s victory and Hulk’s capture. But sometimes what you don’t know really can hurt you…

Check out some of May’s covers now, including a stunning connecting pair by artist Chrissie Zullo, and witness the fight that will smash the Marvel Universe at its core beginning April 27!

Hulk #3, Venom #4, Star Wars #20, and Strange Academy #15 Return for New Printings

Posted on by

Fans will get a chance to dive into Marvel Comics’ most exciting ongoing series with new printings of Hulk #3, Star Wars #20, Strange Academy #15, and Venom #4! These sold-out issues will be available at comic shops starting on March 2, complete with new second printing covers.

Donny Cates and Ryan Ottley take things to a whole new level in Hulk #3, part three of “SMASHSTRONAUT.” There is another Bruce Banner! But where is his Hulk? The answer to that question? Well, it’s a doozy. And it’s about to change our Hulk’s entire course of action. The most insane, action-packed HULK story you’ve ever read gets even MORE epic! HULK #3’s second printing variant cover will be a wraparound cover showcasing Ryan Ottley’s interior artwork.

Charles Soule and Marco Castiello continue to tell Luke Skywalker’s journey along the Jedi path in Star Wars #20. Luke has found a key piece of instruction in the voice of his teacher, Jedi Master Yoda. But the lesson Luke must learn will not be taught by Yoda, and it will take – and give – more than the young Skywalker could ever have imagined. Star Wars #20 stunned fans with surprise appearances by some of the Jedi from the High Republic era. The new printing features a variant by Carlo Pagulayan.

Skottie Young and Humberto Ramos’ Strange Academy #20 sheds more light on the new Marvel villain on everyone’s mind—GASLAMP! It’s a very special day at Strange Academy: Battle Class with Magik and Wong! But not every student is competing at the same level, and Calvin has a trick up his sleeve thanks to his new mysterious friend, Gaslamp! Meanwhile, a student is missing, and Emily Bright won’t rest until they’re found. Strange Academy #20’s second printing variant cover will be a new version of Humberto Ramos’ haunting depiction of Gaslamp seen on the issue’s main cover.

The villainous Life Foundation is back – and they have Dylan Brock dead in their sights in Ram V. and Bryan Hitch’s Venom #4! Led once again by the insidious Carlton Drake, the symbiote-hunting organization has larger ambitions than ever before, and with Arthur Krane in the palm of their hand, they finally have the political leverage to make them a reality. The new printing features a cover by Humberto Ramos!
