Marvel is pleased to present your first look at Hulk #32, from the acclaimed creative team of Jeff Parker and Gabriel Hardman! The strongest there is has now become the hunted! General Fortean is leaving no stone unturned – and no weapon untapped – as his quest to kill Red Hulk kicks into overdrive.
Fans and critics agree – HULK is a smashing good time!
“These are guys who have done nothing but make great comics, and since taking over Hulk at #25, they've not only kept that record going, they've created what is hands down one of the best comics Marvel's putting out.” – Chris Sims, ComicsAlliance.com
“This book continues to impress me and more. It has actually given me a newfound appreciation for Red Hulk. I’m not completely sympathetic to his cause or lot in life, but I do look forward to reading Parker’s adventures and soaking up Hardman’s art every month.” – Doug Zawisza, ComicBookResources.com
“What more could you want from comics?” – Alex Zalben, MTV Geek

Parker & Pagulayan Conquer PLANET RED HULK
This summer, fan favorite writer Jeff Parker and “Planet Hulk” artist Carlos Pagulayan are taking the Marvel Universe’s biggest, reddest bruiser off the map and into the unknown when “Planet Red Hulk” crash lands in Hulk #34 & 35! His country called and Red Hulk answered – until his top secret mission blew up in orbit and his face! Now, Big Red is stranded on an unknown world where only the strong survive…but he’s more than willing to fight his way to the top of the food chain!
“Planet Red Hulk takes our hero further along his voyage of understanding that he is his own greatest enemy when Red is sent into a distant alien culture at war,” said writer Jeff Parker. “It seems to have inspired original Planet Hulk artist Carlo Pagulayan to make the most jaw-dropping art I've ever seen him do- and he was already incredible!”
“Carlo put an undeniably unique and imaginative stamp on green Hulk and now he’s bringing that magic to this arc of red Hulk,” said Marvel Senior Editor, Mark Paniccia. “He’s one of the best world-builders in the industry.”
But is it cosmic irony that two gamma-irradiated goliaths have now found themselves stranded on alien worlds? Or has a secret force been controlling their paths through the space ways all along? Whatever the answer, it’s a given that Red Hulk isn’t your average castaway. Watch him smash his all way to the top when the one-man conquest of “Planet Red Hulk” begins in Hulk #34 & 35, double-shipping this June!

Your First Look At WOLVERINE #8
Marvel is pleased to present your first look at Wolverine #8, from superstar creators Jason Aaron and Daniel Acuña! Logan has cut his way through the hordes of Hell and the X-Men’s heaviest hitters. Now, he’ll take on his most imposing opponent yet – himself! As his possessed shell of a body battles Cyclops to the death, Wolverine must fight the demons within for control because he may not make it out alive.
“This arc of Wolverine was pull-out-all-the-stops fun, vicious and gut-wrenching – a combination that Jason Aaron has cornered. And Daniel Acuña just drew the hell out of it. His art is so lush, he and Jason make an excellent team!” exclaims Marvel Editor, Jeanine Schaefer. “There are a lot of tough decisions that needed to be made here by all characters involved, and if you think the Red Right Hand is through with Logan yet – or that he’s through with them – you’re dead wrong. One word sums up the next arc of Wolverine: Revenge. And you’ll never see the end coming.”
With the whole world watching, Marvel’s deadliest mutant will wage war inside and out when “Wolverine Vs. The X-Men” reaches its explosive climax this April, only in Wolverine #8!
