Marvel to Reboot Hulk in 2027

Marvel Comics has announced a new Hulk series starring Bruce Banner. The first issue will be free, following the conclusion of the Infernal Hulk saga in 2027.

According to Marvel’s announcement, Hulk #1 will arrive on May 1, 2027, as the publisher’s only release for Comics Giveaway Day.

Readers who purchase blind bags will also have access to variant covers. A special 20-bag display box will be released the same day, containing 19 blind bags and an exclusive glow-in-the-dark cover by Patrick Gleason.

Chris Condon will write the series, with art by Alessandro Cappuccio. The two recently worked together on 2025’s Ultimate Wolverine.

Marvel’s official synopsis says:

Bruce Banner is left with the curse he’s spent his life trying to escape… and he’s done running. UNTHINKABLE FREEDOM. AN UNHOLY PRICE. An impossible temptation promises a permanent cure, placing Banner’s salvation within reach, but bringing his final damnation one step closer. LURKING IN THE SHADOWS, A NEW MONSTER RISES. Banner’s desperate hunt for a cure will reveal how much he’ll sacrifice to bury the Hulk forever.

Condon said he can’t wait for readers to discover what he and Cappuccio have been working on for their take on the Hulk.

More changes at Marvel

The new Hulk series follows several major developments at Marvel. Chip Zdarsky’s Avengers Armageddon event has introduced Miracleman to the 616 universe and led to the formation of a new X-Men team.

Those events could also lead to the undoing of One More Day, the often-criticized story in which Peter Parker made a deal with Mephisto nearly 20 years ago.

Marvel’s announcements come under new editor-in-chief Stephen Wacker, while DC has found success with its Absolute Universe.
