Living legends Alan Davis and Jim Starlin unleash the best in Savage Hulk #1. Marvel announced a brand new anthology series starring Bruce Banner and his alter ego starting this June.
“We wanted big names, super stars and break out talent to tell their unique Hulk stories within continuity,” says series editor Mark Paniccia. “That might be now, or using elements of the past and perhaps even glimpses of the future. It all comes back to the current Hulk mythos while letting the talent cut loose with that Hulk story that they’ve been dying to tell.”
The first arc will be from one of my all-time favorite creators Alan Davis (Wolverine, Excalibur, X-Men) in which he pits the Green Goliath against some familiar foes.
“Alan’s [story] involves the X-Men, the Leader, the Abomination and the Hulkbusters,” says Paniccia. “It’s great because he taps into the stuff I was just talking about with Bruce yet still manages to get in the kind of action and mayhem you want to see in a Hulk book. There are some great splashes and spreads. The story is great and the art is amazing and he reminds us that he’s one of the best X-Men artists out there all over again.”
The next arc is cosmic by king of the space epic Jim Starlin (Infinity Gauntlet.)
“Jim’s stuff is classic Starlin, taking Bruce and Hulk into some very freaky places and it’s another case of a creator going full blast with the kind of stuff we love to see from them. Thanos, Annihilus, Blastaar and more. It’s crazy fun and action packed and super detailed. Jim’s putting his A-game into this.”
Savage Hulk #1 arrives in June.
The new anthology series will not be connected with the new Hulk series by Mark Waid coming in April.
