If you love marching and wars, you’re gonna love this news: leading up to next year’s Hulk War event, Marvel will release a series of one-shots starting with Infernal Hulk Vs. Wolverine #1. Also, sounds like Wolverine is gonna lose, so spoilers there.
Picking up on Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Nic Klein’s Infernal Hulk, where an ancient evil called Eldest has taken over Hulk’s body and is turning everyone into monsters, the one-shots will follow Infernal Hulk #10 in August. From there, artist Jonas Scharf will assist Johnson on Vs. Wolverine, while subsequent issues will include Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, and finally Avengers (presumably featuring the new team lineup). Also, Wolverine won’t be the only one to lose, as Marvel explains that “Each one-shot delivers a brutal victory that brings Infernal Hulk one smash closer to remaking the Marvel Universe in his twisted image.”
“MARCH TO HULK WAR kicks off the final act of our story that Nic Klein and I started with Incredible Hulk #1 in 2023,” Johnson said via press release. “It’s a series of one-shot battles between Infernal Hulk and Earth’s mightiest heroes, as Hulk gathers his terrifying Infernal Avengers for HULK WAR. The one-shots features one of the most epic rivalries in comics, INFERNAL HULK VS WOLVERINE, and an ending that I’m expecting to shock some people.
“The most fun aspect of this series were rereading old Marvel battles, reminding myself what’s been done and how hard we’ve been willing to go in the past. Be advised: there were discussions about how violent we could go with these one-shots. I want to keep ramping up the horror vibe of the Hulk series, and for our readers to see things in these one-shots they’ve never seen before. On both counts, I promise we’ll deliver.”
Added Editor Mark Paniccia “An absolute knockout of a fight comic with unrelenting action, real emotional stakes, and Phillip firing off twist after twist without ever letting the reader catch their breath. And Jonas’ art makes you literally feel each punch, kick, cut, slash and stab. Just a savage issue!”
Infernal Hulk Vs. Wolverine #1 hits stores on September 9, 2026. Check out the covers, synopsis, and a full list of Infernal Hulk Vs. titles below.
