Confirmed: The Indestructible Hulk Will Feature Walt Simonson's Thor

Confirming rumors that began swirling last week when a teaser image featured The Hulk attempting to lift Thor's hammer Mjolnir, Marvel Comics announced today that when legendary Thor artist Walter Simonson joins The Indestructible Hulk in April, he'll bring the hammer-wielding thunder god with him. "The Marvel Universe's two most powerful heroes — the Hulk and Thor — join forces to quell a centuries-old war between Godlike forces," says Axel Alonso, Editor In Chief, Marvel Entertainment. "But first, they'll throw down in a slugfest to prove who's more worthy to wield that pesky hammer.  It's an epic tale featuring two of Marvel's most popular characters, told by two creators at the top of their craft." "Banner claims that he's taking his crew to Jotunheim in search of a specific element that exists only at Frost Giant temperatures," said writer Mark Waid in an interview with Marvel.com. "But Bruce has a hidden motive, as well. The real fun of it is how Bruce and his team get to Jotunheim in the first place; it's a nifty piece of applied science, if I do say so myself." You can brush up on your Walter Simonson Thor by checking out any one of the more than fifteen collected editions currently on sale at comic book stores and bookshops. The first five issues of The Indestructible Hulk, featuring art by Waid's Superman: Birthright collaborator Leinil F. Yu, are available at your local comic shop or via ComiXology.
