Donny Cates is currently taking two of Marvel’s most iconic characters on transformative journeys in the pages of HULK and THOR. And next month, the acclaimed writer will smash both sagas together in an all-new epic: HULK VS. THOR: BANNER OF WAR!

Hitting just in time for the two heroes’ 60th anniversaries, this five-part crossover will kick off in HULK VS. THOR: BANNER OF WAR ALPHA #1 before exploding in the pages of both Hulk and Thor’s hit solo titles throughout 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 characters’ futures.

In the aftermath of the opening arc of HULK which saw the debut of TITAN and the “God of Hammers” arc that ended with the death of Odin, 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? Get your first look at the fight that will go down in Marvel Comics history in the BANNER OF WAR: HULK VS. THOR trailer, featuring never-before-seen artwork!

“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!”

C est joli (oui j aime Otley) mais le Hulk de Cates..

[scarletneedle]

Le voilà, le début du pire... :D

[Thorn]

Quel combat original ! Pourquoi pas Hulk VS La Chose ?

[NRV]

Moi je ne retiens que la cover de ce que je vois ici...
Le style de Gary Frank a évolué depuis son passage sur le titre il y a... 29 ans! (arrivé au n°403 en mars 1993)
Mais son Hulk est toujours impressionnant!

Je vais finit par regretter les nineties

[Fletcher Arrowsmith]

Cates touche le fond.....

[doop]

C'est dégueulasse !

[Fletcher Arrowsmith]

Le Gardien avec du pop-corn, on dirait du Monet.

[Dhargo]

Un Watcher avec du popcorn, deux Avenger qui se mettent sur la gueule, on touche le fond. La Maison des Idées n'est pas prête à se remettre sur pied, merci les films...

[NRV]

Je réitère mon précédent propos... Il n'y a que la cover de Gary Frank à sauver.

[cyclopebox]

Thor est de nouveau roi d'Asgard ?
Est-ce que ça veut dire que papy Odin a de nouveau cassé sa pipe ?
Si c'est ce le cas, tout comme vu dans la période Jurgens, Thor devrait chopper les pouvoirs du vieux, et mettre à l'amende Hulk.

[captain Kimchi]

:D Je trouve bien au contraire que le watcher avec du pop corn résume bien le mcu actuelle :D Sacré Donny :beu:
:bave: Sinon plus sérieusement Gary frank :bave:

[Dhargo]

:D Je trouve bien au contraire que le watcher avec du pop corn résume bien le mcu actuelle :D



C'est justement ce qui est pitoyable mais bon, si des publications comme ça pullulent, c'est qu'il y a un lectorat que ça intéresse. :ouin:

[Zeid]

Le Gardien était mieux quand il était mort, étendu, et qu'on lui avait volé ses yeux :D J'avoue que je ne connais pas le contexte, si c'est notre Gardien ou pas, mais je trouve cette vision assez out of character...

Cela dit, je dois avouer que ces planches psychédéliques me laissent circonspect, comme chacune des previews du Hulk de Cates... je n'ai pas lu cette série, mais en ne regardant que les previews ou en feuilletantsimplement les numéros, j'avoue que je ne comprends pas du tout quel est le postulat de la série (cela dit, ça m'intrigue et me donne donc envie de la lire !).
