Indestructible Hulk: Mark Waid revealed how a one-shot with Walt Simonson turned into a major arc with the Green Goliath and Thor fighting Frost Giants. Later Waid addressed the degrees of rage you might get from when the Hulk…Hulks out!
“The Hulk you during that transformation is dependent on Banner’s mental state at the time when the transformation happens. So sometimes you get cookie monster hulk, sometimes you get a whirling cyclone of death, and you never know which one you’re gonna get…Banner. I could write Banner the rest of my life. He’s an untapped well of potential, that guy.”

Marvel appears to be teasing a major crossover starring the most iconic and new characters.
This FIRST image features the names of Marvel’s biggest stars with the description:
“Begin with the best super heroes in comics–Marvel does it first!
Huge story coming soon to fans, worldwide.”
Could this be the company-wide reboot with all brand new first issues that was rumored to be happening when Marvel Now was announced?
The art looks like the “…of the Dead” teaser that came out late last week so are the two teasers connected?
The teasers are alive again at Marvel! Should we take this latest teaser “….of the DEAD” are a take on zombies or death of a major character?
“…of the Dead” is coming this Fall but has no creator names attached as in previous teasers.
What it be?
A new Deadpool storyline or limited series?
Zombies apocalypse in the real Marvel Universe?
The Return of Scourge?
What do you think?

In case you’re just joining us…Bruce Banner works for S.H.I.E.L.D. showing the world he’s just as brilliant as Tony Stark and Reed Richards while Maria Hill gets he Hulk as a Weapon of Mass Destruction. Young geniuses with their own secrets have signed on to work for the ultimate Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
In this week’s Indestructible Hulk #4 Waid and Yu takes us first to Bannerville, USA where Bruce meets and has a little fun at the expense of his eager, edgy lab assistants. The action then goes deep as Banner leads a S.H.I.E.L.D. team to the bottom of the ocean on a top-secret salvage mission. What’s cooler than SHIELD’s Helicarrier? Continue reading HULK Gets Deep!
