The March is coming in September, which likely means April is October? I guess? Anyway, tortured bits aside, as announced yesterday (July 23) at Marvel’s Next Big Thing panel at San Diego Comic-Con, the march to next year’s Hulk War event begins in a series of Infernal Hulk Vs. one-shots.
Written by Phillip Kennedy Johnson, the one-shots will pit the evil Hulk against Wolverine in September, Fantastic Four, in October, Spider-Man in November, and finally Avengers in December (though oddly not the new Avengers line-up that will begin in November, which raises a bunch of questions about how this all fits into continuity). Anyway, as the one-shots continue Marvel teases they’ll give rise to the Infernal Avengers, evil, twisted heroes made monstrous by the Infernal Hulk.
“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.”
