HULK Being Relaunched By Marvel With Donny Cates And Ryan Ottley Seeking An Answer To The Hero's Anger

Marvel Comics has revealed plans for a new Hulk series that promises to explore the Green Goliath's rage, and we're getting an incredible creative team: Donny Cates (Venom) and Ryan Ottley (Invincible).

Al Ewing's Immortal Hulk run is set to conclude later this year, but in November, Marvel Comics is relaunching the title as Hulk. That will bring together the creative team of acclaimed writer Donny Cates, known for his revolutionary work on Venom and Thor, and superstar artist Ryan Ottley of Amazing Spider-Man and Invincible.

This bold new era begins when Bruce Banner discovers a radical way to control the monster within. Could this mark the final end of the green goliath? Or will the extreme solution create something new...with massive consequences? Marvel Comics says we should prepare to dive deep into the very core of Hulk’s rage in this thrilling epic that will explore this iconic character’s incredible - and destructive - legacy in a way no one has dared to before.

"Marvel just gave me the keys to the strongest one there is," Cates says. "Haha... oh boy. You guys are just not ready for this. You’re about to find out what happens when Ryan Ottley and I get angry...and guess what? Well...pretty sure you’re gonna like us a lot when we’re angry."

This sounds really intriguing, and it's certainly something different for Marvel Comics to delve into how and why The Hulk is controlled by his rage. It also sounds like a new status quo could be on the way for the Jade Giant, perhaps bringing him in line with what we've seen in the MCU. 

It's been confirmed that we'll get our first glimpse at what's in store for Hulk in Free Comic Book Day 2021: Avengers/Hulk on August 14. For now, check out the cover and some interior artwork below:

I'm hoping it's gonna be something new that isn't Smart Hulk or Banner and Hulk living in peace with each other.

is it weird the 2 best titles at Marvel (Immortal Hulk, Venom) are just swapping creative teams? wouldn't it make sense to give an established book to a new writer so they have a built in audience? and these writers can go to a new character or concept because they also have a built in audience??

Not to say that these guys won't crush these books!

@nibs - as long aa they don't swap Daredevil's team. I think the one that looses is Hulk because inmortal was knocking it out of the park and Knull saga was hit or miss but both could be interesting titles if You touch Venom in a horror angle and Hulk in a psychological one

@grif - Immortal’s only got 3 issues left so it depends on how that ends.

The Hulk is Strong Enough To Punch Through Time (Literally)
When Kang the Conqueror needed something tough to break through a violent time-storm, there was only one gamma-powered hero he could think to trick!

@OptimusPrime114 - So are you on the side of huge corporations because Hulk being against them is really the most leftist thing I can think of about the book.

@TocharianMonk - Hulk one punches Thor. No one can beat the Hulk in the Marvel Universe. Individually or even as a entire teams they all fall to the Hulk.

@dragon316 - Killing the Hulk or Banner just makes the Hulk Angry, Stronger and more Indestructible.

Hope to see the return of the true Abomination, as well as Maestro, Madman, and The Pantheon.

Immortal Hulk is one of the best things Marvel has done in recent years. The horror spin was fantastic, and it was full of so many memorable moments.

Hope it’s good but another reboot by Marvel?
They’re so desperate to keep fans but recently both Marvel and DC have been getting their asses destroyed by Manga and it’s shockingly hilarious.

From Al Ewing to Cates.

What a downgrade.

@Doomsday8888 - Al Ewing was great to begin with but Immortal Hulk after 25,he went a bit political and lost a lot of readers but seems to be getting back on track for the conclusion.

So after a series re-examining Banner’s relationship to the Hulk and the rest of the System we go back to regular Hulk stories? I mean seriously how much more trauma can really be uncovered I feel like we have a pretty comprehensive timeline of the guy’s life.

If constantly relaunching your books to #1 is the only way marvel can sell comics, then they shouldn't be in business anymore.

@TocharianMonk - I hadn't noticed it was AGAIN numbered #1... Jeesus, Marvel.
