Bruce Banner….Genius of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Banner’s been keeping the monster within -in check – and building his reputation as a super scientist.
Nothing lasts forever!
Writer Mark Waid revealed more of his plans for Bruce Banner as the Green Goliath smashes his way into the All-New Marvel Now.
Events in Indestructible Hulk will shake up Banner’s status quo and unleash a brand new Hulk #1 in April.
“There’s a big change in tone. Not necessarily in story or delivery, but by the end of INDESTRUCTIBLE, something happens to Bruce that forces him to face a very dark secret–that his motives for being a crusading scientist might not be as simple and pure and altruistic as he wants to believe. Banner’s dealt a massive setback that sets the stage for HULK #1,” Waid tells Marvel.com.
Waid goes on to say we’ll see Banner on an operating table and for his alter ego “more friction between the two. More of Hulk as his own man, if you will, or at least man-monster. More to Hulk than mindless grunting. All that and more.”
Legendary artist Mark Bagley joins Waid for HULK #1 in April.
I told Mark Waid at Emerald City Comicon he was the best thing to happen to Bruce Banner in years. I love seeing the confident Banner and really enjoyed his chemistry with Maria Hill. I’m hoping Banner’s think tank team sticks around, too.
