This April, Marvel Comics will have two of their heaviest hitters square off to celebrate their 60th anniversaries in Hulk vs. Thor: Banner of War. Donny Cates, the acclaimed writer behind both Hulk and Thor, will team up with rising star artist Martin Coccolo in a story that promises to smash both characters’ current sagas together for a truly glorious showdown.
Kicking off with Hulk vs. Thor: Banner of War Alpha #1, the story will then expand in both the Jade Giant and God of Thunder's solo titles. Now, we have new details on what to expect from those.
In May's Thor #25, part two of "Banner of War," Banner's newfound control of his rage is prolonging the fight more than Thor expected, and with Banner holding his own, Thor must get creative. Odin’s breakthrough look into Banner’s psyche seems to slow the violence, but will it be enough?
Later that month in Hulk #7, part three of the five-part crossover event, Tony Stark, a.k.a. the Invincible Iron Man, interrupts a pivotal moment of Hulk and Thor's battle to settle a score. Equipped with new "Celestial Hulkbuster" armor of his own design, Tony is convinced that he can ensure Thor’s victory and Hulk’s capture. But sometimes what you don’t know really can hurt you!
You can check out some newly revealed cover art below, including an incredible connecting pair by artist Chrissie Zullo. Then, the fight begins when that first issue of the series drops on April 27.
