Former Venom writer Donny Cates is currently writing both the Thor and Hulk comic books for Marvel, and next April, he's bringing them together for crossover event: Hulk vs. Thor: Banner of War.
Meant to celebrate the 60th anniversary of both characters, the five-part event begins in the pages of Hulk vs. Thor: Banner of War Alpha #1 before moving into each of their solo titles through May and June. Tackling ongoing mysteries from both series and featuring artwork by rising star Martin Coccolo and covers by legendary artist Gary Frank, the story promises to deliver Thor and Hulk’s most glorious battle yet and the showdown will have a shocking impact on both their futures.
In the aftermath of the opening arc of Hulk and the "God of Hammers" arc currently unfolding in Thor, both Bruce Banner and Thor Odinson have both undergone massive changes, but one thing remains constant - their heated rivalry! When mysterious circumstances bring them into conflict once more, will the God of Thunder be able to triumph against a Bruce Banner who can now control his rage?
"Well, I was a little surprised that Marvel approached me to write this, if I’m being honest. I’m mostly known for writing very small, very quiet, intimate comics, so I had to - ha! Sorry. Couldn’t keep that up. Yeah, this is gonna be bonkers as hell, guys," Cates said. "We’re going to break EVERYTHING! Happy birthday, Hulk and Thor! Hope you enjoy MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF VIOLENCE!"
Hulk vs. Thor: Banner of War Alpha #1 arrives on April 27. Check out some cover art below:
