We asked last week if there was to be a new Hulk #1 from Marvel Comics in June.

There is.

It is.

We didn't have a clue, however, that it would be written by Bleeding Cool-favourite Al Ewing.

And it is.

Because this is going to be a very good comic, and hopefully unlike any Hulk comic you've read before. It's a comic about a monster who can't die. It's about a man who believes he can use the darkest elements of his personality to do good in the world, and where that belief leads him. It's about mortality, atonement and denial. It's about all the parts of ourselves we don't like to look at. It's a horror comic. And if we've done even half the job I think we have, it'll be one of the most talked-about comics of 2018.

CBR got the big exxxclusive reveal… for The Immortal Hulk starting in June.
