North and Carratù to make HULK: SMASH EVERYTHING

Marvel Comics has announced Hulk: Smash Everything, a five-issue series written by the Hugo Award-winning Ryan North, with art by Vincenzo Carratù (Psylocke). As promised by the title, the book will follow the Hulk as he fights everyone, and everything, until he “finds himself battering his way through the cosmos and beyond the very limits of reality!”

A guaranteed smash hit! Is Hulk really the strongest there is? Sure, he’s stronger than most people… but is he really stronger than everything? Dinosaurs? Planets? Gravity? Cosmic forces? Find out here because when we say Hulk takes on all-comers in this new miniseries, we really mean it! It’s non-stop action in the classic mighty Marvel manner!

North states, “Hulk is a perfect character, and Phillip Kennedy Johnson is doing incredible things with him in Incredible Hulk. This series is an evergreen (no pun intended) story that features an ever-increasing series of things being smashed by Hulk across all five issues. It goes to some wild places that I promise you are not expecting (and one, if you know me, that you are) and, through all the chaos and smashing, also tells what I think is a pretty sweet story about this big green guy.”

Carratù adds, “I think Bruce [Banner]’s mind is one of the most fascinating in the Marvel Universe. Since Peter David‘s introduction of his multiple personalities, Hulk has been a constant rediscovery, and drawing him right now means a lot to me. Who among us, in a moment of rage, hasn’t thought about smashing everything? We’ll explore this facet of his identity and this time, we’re giving him free rein. It’ll be a lot of fun and truly [wild] as Ryan and I push him into the most absurd corners of the universe with no limits!”

The series will launch on December 3, with a main cover by Adam Kubert, and variants by Adi Granov and Luciano Vecchio. In the meantime, the relaunch of Johnson and Nic Klein‘s run, Infernal Hulk, will begin on November 26, while North’s year-long event comic, One World Under Doom, will conclude with issue #9 on November 19. Additionally, Planet She-Hulk will begin on November 5 (after an Imperial War prelude, releasing tomorrow), and Red Hulk will end with issue #10 on November 12; for more information, check out Marvel’s full November solicits.
