Hulk Becomes a Super Villain in New Trailer for Marvel’s Maestro

As Marvel gets back into the swing of publishing once again, the company is about to explore a storyline that readers have been eager to hear for decades. In an all-new series, Eisner Award winner Peter David is returning to the pages of The Incredible Hulk to write the origin of the alternate and evil version of Banner he created known as Maestro. To mark the arrival of this origin tale, Marvel has released a new trailer for the series which offers a fresh look at the tale as well as art from Germán Peralta (Strikeforce, Cable, Man-Thing). Watch it for yourself above!

“I had no idea that when I first created the Maestro for Future Imperfect, that he would have the kind of popularity and staying power he has now,” David said in a statement previously. “Until now, I’ve only been able to allude to his origins, so I was thrilled to have the opportunity to explore them in this series, and I can’t wait for fans to see all the artwork that’s been coming in!”

“For the long-anticipated origin story of the Maestro, we knew we’d need an artist who could handle both the larger-than-life visuals of the Hulk and also the world-building that depicting this post-apocalyptic journey would require,” Senior Editor Wil Moss told ComicBook.com. David and Peralta will be joined by Dale Keown on the series who will be providing art for select sequences including the backstory of how Rick Jones assembled his infamous “trophy room” from the original Future Imperfect story.
