The Ultimate Wolverine team of Chris Condon and Alessandro Cappuccio reunite for an all new Hulk series in 2027.
Condon and Cappuccio take over directly after Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Nic Klein’s Infernal Hulk series, and take the Hulk in a new direction, refocusing on Bruce Banner’s search for a cure for his green alter-ego.
“Dreams do come true, it seems, even if it comes at the suffering of poor Bruce Banner,” Condon said. “I am beyond thrilled to be a part of the team chronicling the next era of the Jade Giant at Marvel, and to be re-teamed with my pal Alessandro Cappuccio—as well as legendary Hulk editor Mark Paniccia—makes it all the more exciting. I’ve loved the Hulk since I was a kid and that love has continued to this very day, so I hope people know that what we’re crafting is in tribute to everything from Lee & Kirby’s initial debut to Phillip Kennedy Johnson, Nic Klein, & company’s horrifyingly brilliant Infernal Hulk saga. We are taking things in an exciting new direction for our day and age, but don’t worry, HULK STILL SMASH.”
“There are characters you meet professionally, and others who, in some way, stay with you,” Cappuccio shared. “The Hulk definitely belongs to the second category. Behind his immense strength lies a universe of fragility, conflicts, and contradictions that continues to fascinate me. He’s a character who seems to have an endless supply of stories to tell, and that’s exactly what makes him so special.”
“Having the opportunity to explore this universe means a great deal to me,” he continued. “Doing so alongside Chris Condon—with whom I’ve already shared a wonderful experience working on Ultimate Wolverine and whom I now consider a friend as well as a colleague—makes it all even more special. I can’t wait for readers to discover what we’re working on.”
Fans will get their first look at the new series on Free Comic Book Day 2027, as Marvel’s only free comic book for the annual event, and the actual first issue of the new series.
Variant covers for the issue will only be available inside the Hulk #1 True Believers Blind Bags (also on sale on May 1). One of the variants includes a “Gamma Irradiated” glow-in-the-dark variant cover by Patrick Gleason.
