It’s a blast into the past as a brand new Hulk series ongoing smashes into comic book shops this week. Living legend Alan Davis will unleash the Green Goliatch in Savage Hulk #1 in a tale with the original X-Men.
“We wanted big names, super stars and break out talent to tell their unique Hulk stories within continuity,” says series editor Mark Paniccia told Marvel.com. “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.”
Davis (Wolverine, Excalibur, X-Men) explores a connection between Bruce Banner and Professor Xavier that leads to a battle with some classic enemies.
“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 will take the Hulk cosmic by Marvel’s King of the space epic: Jim Starlin (Infinity Gauntlet.)
The new anthology series will not be connected with the current Hulk series. Gerry Duggan (Deadpool) is taking over that book in August.
Savage Hulk #1 arrives Wednesday
