Press Release

As part of Marvel NOW!, Indestructible Hulk joins a number of titles that will take the Marvel Universe in an exciting all-new direction, as the industry’s top creators join the top Super Heroes to deliver all-new ongoing series, great for new and lapsed readers alike!
Through his entire history, the Hulk has always been an indomitable force, more weapon than man. His alter ego, Dr. Bruce Banner, is one of the most intelligent men on the planet. NOW! combined, they have become the strongest, smartest weapon alive – INDESTRUCTIBLE HULK, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.!
“Banner’s a changed man. No more stooping under the weight of “woe is me,” no longer bespectacled, no longer a fashion victim in purple,” explained Mark Waid in an interview with Marvel.com. “For decades, Banner’s felt like he’s no more than the Hulk’s helpless puppet. Now Banner’s USING Hulk to his own mysterious ends”
Marvel NOW! is the culmination of Marvel ReEvolution, the groundbreaking new initiative to evolve the comic book experience through innovation. With Indestructible Hulk, Marvel NOW! ensures fans will discover an entirely new perspective on the Jade Giant.
“Mark and Leinil’s spin on the Hulk mythos will have fans — new and old – exclaiming, ‘Why didn’t I think of that!?'” said Marvel Editor In Chief Axel Alonso. “It’s the brute force of the Hulk and the brainpower of Bruce Banner, together at last — but not the way you think. And with S.H.I.E.L.D. in the wings, readers can expect a globe-hopping adventure with an unlimited special effects budget.”
Each issue of Indestructible Hulk includes a code for a free digital copy on the Marvel Comics app for iOS and Android devices. Additionally, each issue of Indestructible Hulk features special augmented reality content available exclusive through the Marvel AR app – including cover recaps, behind the scenes features and more that add value to your reading experience at no additional cost.

Sounds cool!
Wasn’t it just a couple years ago (if that long) that Mark Waid tweeted he was done with superhero comics?
It’s Mark Waid’s reBoot … I mean reStart … errr, reVolution ….
I’m going to give this a shot because Waid has been doing some good work on Daredevil…and this take on Hulk sounds different and kind of interesting.
How is more of the same old stuff new and exciting? Or is this question hopelessly cynical on my part?
If I glance at my Wayback machine, they made the Hulk Red, Grey, Smart, Female, Wolverine, etc. in an effort to be new and exciting (Okay, I made up the part about a Hulk Wolverine…)
I’m glad to read they’re ditching the purple pants. I may pick it up just to see that. :)
There was a Hulk Wolverine who showed up the the issue of Exiles with an entire team of alternate Wolverines. He was in a background shot of hundreds of Wolverines.
there was a Hulked Wolverine. :P
This is gonna suck.
“New” my ass!
Could they follow DC any more closely to the gallows pole?
R.I.P.
“House of Ideas” !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
