COMICS: "Stay Angry" Begins In THE INCREDIBLE HULK #8 This May

Writer Jason Aaron will team-up with his Punisher MAX collaborator Steve Dillon for a five part storyline which will see the Hulk have to "Stay Angry" in what promises to be a new status quo for the character.

In the latest "Next Big Thing Liveblog" over at Marvel.com, Jason Aaron has revealed plans for the story arc which will follow on from "Hulk Vs. Banner" in the pages of The Incredible Hulk this May. "Stay Angry" will include appearances from Atlanteans, Kraven the Hunter and Wolverine, while the teaser image below by artist Michael Komarck confirms the appearance of The Punisher. Also included are a few comments from Aaron, although you can read more by clicking on the link below.



"Stay Angry flows out of the end of Hulk vs Banner, which has a big, shock ending that changes Hulk's status quo and dynamic again. All I can really say is this is a five-issue story with each issue relatively self-contained for the most part, done by a different artist and in a different location. Hulk is bouncing around the world trying to figure out what's going on and who's beyond it, and he must stay angry."

"The first issue finds The Hulk in the midst of some crazy shenanigans involving a Mexican drug cartel. It's not tough to imagine Frank Castle getting involved in something like that. Hulk's whole thing is he has to stay angry, so having The Punisher around might help with that."

"I think you can put Hulk in a traditional super hero setting, but I like the stories where he's outside those boundaries. In this arc I get to do that with each issue. These are not throwaway one shots. This is act two of my bigger story."

I couldn't get into the first couple issues, but I'm definitely checking this out. Punisher Vs. Hulk should be insane.

This makes sense. So they will re-merge but in doing so Hulk must STAY ANGRY to stay the Hulk. I like it.

That may be my new favorite piece or art ever! Where do I order the wall mural?!?! I want to keep the "Stay Angry" text, too!

The Punisher may only be helping him stay angry. The picture appears to be him running and perhaps shooting the hulk to keep him pissed.

Just a guess.

Maybe they re-merge and he has stay Hulked-out to keep that brain tumor from killing him (didn't they do that bit, but with a bullet in the brain in the 60s-70s-80s or something?. I really like them separated though.

Hopefully hulk merges back with banner so i can start reading hulk again

@avengingson - Yes, they did. Banner got shot in the head and had to stay changed. Had to be the 60's because it was when Hulk was still intelligent, but after he was gray. I think I've got that issue, and it was right around when the fought the Metal Master. (Whatever happen to that guy? Magneto kill him because he was the competition?)

@ avengingson & Massexecutions

"Maybe they re-merge and he has stay Hulked-out to keep that brain tumor from killing him (didn't they do that bit, but with a bullet in the brain in the 60s-70s-80s or something?. I really like them separated though."

Ding, ding, ding, ding! Give that man a cigar! Great memory. It was in an early Tales to Astonish story, I believe somewhere around #64 or 65. In the end the Leader performed brain surgery to remove the bullet and YES the Hulk was intelligent but belligerent back then. They dumbed him down soon afterwards.

Funny, if that is indeed the new plotline he is working on then someone should give Mr. Aaron a copy (reprint of course) of those issues......or maybe he's already aware of it and is just blatantly ripping off Stan Lee without giving a $hit. That seems to be the normal M.O. these days. In fact the Red Hulk just went thru this same exact thing a few months back.

.........peat........repeat........repeat.........

I remember reading an older issue where the Punisher made Bruce Banner eat a bunch of C4. Banner had amnesia or something. Then Punisher beat the hell out of Banner, he turned in to Hulk, and Punisher sicked him on some bad guys. Then he detonated the C4 and Hulk was KO. Of course, that only works when Hulk and Banner are the same dude...

niknik - There you go!

Its really kind of an obvious thing to do with the Hulk. Aaron is a good writer. I'll wait and see if he puts a good spin on it.

Awesome. Been enjoying the new run, so got this to look forward after the banner v hulk story. Did take a while to get into it but after 3 its been very interesting, and completely different take on hulk story. To be honest, enjoyed most of the main titles with DC 52 and new marvel story lines. New ultimates spiderman is awesome. Disappointed Pichelli wasnt doing art for #6 thou. Love the was she brings a refined and dynamic cartoon style to the pages. Really looking forward to Romita Jr Avengers v -men. gonna be a good year for cb fans I think. Excelcior!!

does status quo even mean anything any more in marvel? they change it up like every month.

i just want the green king back. i hated how loeb dumbed him back down after planet hulk. dropped the book like 3 issues into his run so i'm not sure if that personallity ever came back. still, it was stupid to pass over all of that character progression. i feel the same way about thor losing his thorpower (previously known as the odinpower) when he broke his hammer.

they'll "change the status quo!!!" for 6 months... then it's back to ssdd.

Did they reboot ol Punny's origins yet? Or is he still a Vietnam vet? Haven't read him since Ennis and Dillon were on his book so I'm out of touch there.

MrNoFear I think Kraven came back after the Grim Hunt f I'm not mistaken. I don't think there's a mainstream comic where people stay dead except for Gwen stacy.

@breakUbatman - Even Gwen Stacy got revived as a clone. Its the nature of the medium.

I like the cover but how would the Punisher manage to hold the Hulk at bay?
