The Incredible Hulk is about to unleash his fury upon the Marvel Universe in ways that fans have never seen before.

Marvel Comics has recently announced a whole new series starring everyone's favorite gamma-irradiated hero - Husk: Smash Everything. Written by Ryan North and featuring art by Vincenzo Carratù, Hulk: Smash Everything will see the longtime hero face off against everything that the Marvel Universe has to offer over the course of five pulse-pounding issues, ranging from his fellow Avengers to the very bounds of reality itself.

The official solicit synopsis for Hulk: Smash Everything #1 from Marvel Comics reads, "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!"

Writer Ryan North discussed where exactly Hulk: Smash Everything stands in terms of the character's wider mythos, all while singing the praises of the currently ongoing Incredible Hulk series, which has taken the character in a decidedly horrific direction. "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." North added, "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."

Hulk: Smash Everything artist Vincenzo Carratù also opened up about his take on the titular character, noting that "Bruce's mind is one of the most fascinating in the Marvel Universe." Carratù went on to discuss the impact of the late, great Peter David's work on the series, which largely defined the Hulk as fans know the character today. "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 crazy as Ryan and I push him into the most absurd corners of the universe with no limits!"

Hulk: Smash Everything goes on sale December 3 from Marvel Comics.
