This April, as part of their 60th Anniversaries, Marvel’s biggest hitters are set to duke it out in HULK VS THOR: BANNER OF WAR from Donny Cates, the acclaimed writer for both HULK and THOR, joins with rising star artist Martin Coccolo for a story that will smash both character’s current sagas together in a glorious showdown!
The five-part crossover will kick off in April’s HULK VS. THOR: BANNER OF WAR ALPHA #1 before exploding in the pages of both Hulk and Thor’s hit solo titles throughout May and June.
In May’s THOR #25, part two of “Banner of War,” Banner’s newfound control of his rage is prolonging the fight more than Thor expected, and with Banner holding his own, Thor must get creative. Odin’s breakthrough look into Banner’s psyche seems to slow the violence, but will it be enough?
Check out some of May’s covers now, including a stunning connecting pair by artist Chrissie Zullo:

Equipped with new “Celestial Hulkbuster” armor of his own design, Tony is convinced that he can ensure Thor’s victory and Hulk’s capture. But sometimes what you don’t know really can hurt you…
