Marvel has announced another miniseries bringing together Spider-Man and the Hulk. Spider-Man/Hulk: Fire and Brimstone, by writer/director Kevin Smith, The Tonight Show writer Andy McElfrsh and One World Under Doom artist R.B. Silva, will kick off in August.
With Hulk and Punisher both appearing in this summer’s big Spider-Man flick, Brand New Day, both characters are getting panel time in addition to screen time with the wallcrawler this summer. Both characters are appearing in Spider-Man: Long Way Home in June, while a story set in the early days of the Punisher and Spider-Man’s relationship, titled The Punisher vs. the Amazing Spider-Man, will arrive in July.
“I’ve played with Peter Parker and swung with Spider-Man before but this is the first time I’m having Hulk issues,” Smith said. “Andy and I are dropping two of Marvel’s most well-known scientists into a spiritual story of Biblical proportions as we exorcise the Incredible Hulk—and I’m not talking cross-fit!”
The story will also feature Matt Murdock, as Bruce Banner turns to the church to help rid himself of the Hulk:
