Warning! Spoilers for Hulk #1 by Marvel Comics below
In a brand new preview for Hulk #1, the Jade Giant faces off against Iron Man in an epic battle between a "Smashtronaut" and an epic Hulkbuster. In a new look at the upcoming series, Hulk takes on a Hulkbuster, as the two powerhouses exchanges mammoth blows, with Iron Man receiving the brunt of the damage. However, the Hulk doesn't hold back against his fellow Avenger.
Donny Cates and Ryan Ottley's (with Frank Martin and Cory Petit) run on the Hulk will begin in November, as the talented creators will bring their own spin to the iconic Marvel Comics hero. Al Ewing and Joe Bennett's iconic Immortal Hulk run concludes soon with issue #50 and will be remembered as one of the greatest ongoing series in the publisher's history. Cates and Ottley have a tough act to follow, but it seems their arc is going to take the Jade Giant in a new direction and will be full of energy and epicness that both creators brought to King in Black and Invincible, respectively.
In a new unlettered preview for Hulk #1 (H/T Newsarama), the Hulk and Iron Man's Hulkbuster face off in a destructive battle between Marvel juggernauts. Previous teases suggested the Hulk will be getting angrier than ever before, and the preview definitely backs that up, as the hero smashes Iron Man's Hulkbuster with a huge punch that cracks its armor. Additionally, hulk is wearing some sort of headgear that suggests someone else is seemingly in charge of his actions, or at least leading him - but that's my own speculation based on the unlettered preview.
The Hulk delivers an epic blow to Iron Man's Hulkbuster, which cracks the powerful armor. Unfortunately, the Hulkbuster doesn't appear to be living up to its name.
Lastly, we see the Hulk continuously punching the wall. Perhaps, he's trying to escape whatever situation he's in.
The new Hulk series is starting off with a bang, as not only is the green monster facing off against Iron Man's Hulkbuster, but previous previews have him taking on M.O.D.O.K. as well. It seems the issue is going to be non-stop action. Cates said readers "are just not ready for this."
Cates and Ottley are super intriguing choices to take over the Hulk, both are known for high-stakes storytelling and incredible action. If you thought the Hulk wasn't doing enough smashing recently, it seems Hulk #1 will correct that perceived issue and then some. Hulk will take on Iron Man's Hulkbuster when Hulk #1 comes to comic book stores in November.
