The ever lovin’ Hulkette debuts in ‘Spider-Boy’ #13

Another New Champion makes her debut next month.

Before the New Champions arrives next year, another of its members will make her in-comic debut. Hulkette, who first appeared on a variant cover for Sensational She-Hulk #1, will face off with Spider-Boy and Daredevil in Spider-Boy #13.

Created by artist Mirka Andolfo, Hulkette’s story will be told by Dan Slott and Paco Medina across several issues of Spider-Boy, including her origin.

“We’ll learn more about Hulkette and her powers as she faces off against Spider-Boy and Daredevil,” said Slott. “There’s a big surprise in store for Marvel fans when we finally drop the secret of her origins… but for now, if you want to see this pint-sized powerhouse throw her first punches on the page, this is the issue where her journey begins.”

Marvel’s newest teen heroes assemble in ‘New Champions’

Steve Foxe and Ivan Fiorelli helm a new series featuring the heroes who appeared in recent issues of ‘Spider-Woman.’

Last year Marvel released a series of “New Champions” variant covers where they asked different artists to design new sidekicks for Marvel characters, following the debut of Spider-Boy.

“As soon as I saw the New Champions variants, my mind started racing dreaming up possible origins and powers and codenames for these imagined sidekicks,” Foxe said. “Reverse-engineering the cast from the covers was unlike any other creative process I’ve ever been involved in, and I’m beyond stoked to debut a whole new class of Marvel heroes (and a few villains!) in New Champions alongside Ivan Fiorelli, who makes each and every one of these new additions feel like they’ve been part of the fabric of the universe all along.”
