Hulk fans will get free comics in 2027. In a recent announcement, Marvel revealed big plans for next year’s Free Comic Book Day.
Marvel Comics will give away the first issue of writer Chris Condon and artist Alessandro Cappuccio’s latest #Hulk. Fans will receive these brand-new issues on May 1, 2027, the launch day. Fans can collect the comic with Cappuccio’s original cover for free at the participating shops. Variants will also be available inside the True Believers Blind Bags.
Speaking about the event, Editor-in-Chief Stephen Wacker said, “Marvel’s Comic Giveaway Day offering should not only give people a reason to run to their comic shops, but also a reason to come back! That’s why we’re choosing it to launch HULK, giving away the entire first issue of his new ongoing series.”
Wacker continued, “We believe strongly in what Chris and Alessandro are building here, and while PKJ and Nic are definitely a hard act to follow, we want as many people as possible to get their huge green mitts on the Hulk’s next adventure!”
Bruce Banner’s next chapter begins with a desperate search for a cure
The narrative for the upcoming release will revolve around Bruce Banner, aka Hulk, making a desperate attempt to find a cure to get rid of the Hulk permanently. Banner has already spent much of his life fighting the Hulk, but now he is determined to face the problem and find a permanent solution.
To Bruce, a chance at a possible cure sounds like everything he’s ever wanted. However, this “unthinkable freedom” could come at “an unholy price.” The preview for the storyline further suggests, “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.”
Writer Chris Condon said, per Marvel.com, “Dreams do come true, it seems, even if it comes at the suffering of poor Bruce Banner. I am beyond thrilled to be a part of the team chronicling the next era of the Jade Giant at Marvel, and to be re-teamed with my pal Alessandro Cappuccio—as well as legendary Hulk editor Mark Paniccia—makes it all the more exciting.”
Condon added that he has loved Hulk since childhood and created this comic as a tribute to the Infernal Hulk saga and its creators.
