Hulk makes an appointment to ‘Smash Everything’ in December

Ryan North and Vincenzo Carratù send the unjolly green giant up against everyone and everything in a five-issue miniseries.

In the spirit of the various titles that showcase Deadpool, Godzilla and even the Thing taking on anyone and everyone in the Marvel Universe, Ryan North and Vincenzo Carratù will send the Hulk on a mission to smash everything in Hulk Smash Everything.

The five-issue miniseries begins in December and will feature the Hulk fighting his fellow heroes, cosmic beings and even “the very limits of reality.”

“Hulk is a perfect character, and Phillip Kennedy Johnson is doing incredible things with him in Incredible Hulk,” North said. “This series is an evergreen (no pun intended) story that features an ever-increasing series of things being smashed by Hulk across all five issues. It goes to some wild places that I promise you are not expecting (and one, if you know me, that you are) and, through all the chaos and smashing, also tells what I think is a pretty sweet story about this big green guy.”

SDCC | Psylocke slices + dices her way into an ongoing series by Alyssa Wong + Vincenzo Carratù

The ongoing title is part of the X-Men: From the Ashes line and will debut in November.

Alyssa Wong and Vincenzo Carratù have some “super dark” plans for Psylocke, a.k.a. Kwannon, the X-Men’s resident telepathic ninja. The character will break out into her first ongoing solo series this November, as part of the X-Men: From the Ashes publishing initiative.

Kwannon, who appeared in several of the Krakoa-era titles, was the Hand assassin whose mind was swapped with Betsy Braddock in the early 1990s, which initially led to the X-Men having a psychic ninja on the team. Both women have since died and been resurrected, because comics, and are back in their original bodies — with Betsy Braddock taking up the mantle of Captain Britain and Kwannon keeping the Psylocke name.

Psylocke is currently dating John Greycrow, the former Marauder who gained amnesty on Krakoa, and he’ll appear in the title as well. Psylocke’s back story with the ninja assassins known as The Hand will be explored, and she’ll encounter a new villain called the Taxonomist.

“Everything in her history points her to the path of a villain,” Wong said. “Her background is so full of tragedy—so why does she choose to be a hero?”

Dracula and Blade’s daughter team-up to save humanity in ‘Dracula: Blood Hunt’

Danny Lore and Vincenzo Carratù bring the vampire lord and Bloodline into the bigger ‘Blood Hunt’ fray this summer.

You can’t have a vampire crossover without Dracula, and today Marvel announced that everyone’s favorite vampire lord will appear in a three-issue miniseries that’ll accompany this summer’s Blood Hunt event.

Dracula: Blood Hunt by Danny Lore and Vincenzo Carratù will feature Marvel’s version of Dracula teaming up with an unlikely ally, Blade’s daughter Bloodline.

“One of the most interesting things about Dracula, for me, is that he doesn’t run on mortal time, and because of that, his reasoning tends toward shadowy and full of schemes,” Lore said. “Right now, his goal is to keep Brielle safe—but what does it mean to protect the kid of the No. 1 thorn in your side? And why?”

After Krakoa falls, the ‘Dead X-Men’ rise

Steve Foxe, Vincenzo Carratù, Bernard Chang and Jonas Scharf send a group of dead mutants back in time to save their world.

This past weekend brought news on the future — or lack of one — for the X-Men’s Krakoa era, and following the big reveal of three new miniseries that will tie everything up, Marvel has announced a fourth tie-in miniseries — Dead X-Men.

There’s probably a joke to make here about the past three or so years under the Krakoa banner and its resurrection protocols — I mean, aren’t most of the X-Men technically dead at this point, with cloned copies walking around with their memories? But I digress …

Steve Foxe and a host of artists have been tapped for a Terminator-esque story where Professor X sends a group of five X-Men back in time to try and prevent the destruction of Krakoa, as detailed in this year’s Hellfire Gala special.

“Dead X-Men is one of the most complex stories I’ve worked on at Marvel, but also one of purest: a small group of mutants who have to accomplish the impossible, which is the premise that made me fall in love with the X-Men in the first place,” Foxe said. He’ll be working with several artists on the series, including Vincenzo Carratù, Bernard Chang and Jonas Scharf.

Mary Jane Watson teams with the Black Cat for new ‘Dark Web’ miniseries

Jed MacKay and Vincenzo Carratù bring together the former rivals in December.

Two of Spider-Man’s ex’s will team up in a new miniseries this December, as a part of the bigger Dark Web crossover event Marvel announced at the San Diego Comic Con earlier this year.

The series will be written by Jed McKay, who wrote the most recent Black Cat series as well as the Black Cat/Mary Jane one-shot that tied into the “Beyond” storyline in Amazing Spider-Man. He will work with artist Vincenzo Carratù on the series, who has drawn several series for Dynamite in recent years.

“I’ve kind of lost track of how many lives Felicia has left at this point, but she keeps coming back- and this time she’s brought a friend,” MacKay told Marvel.com. “Getting back to Mary Jane and Black Cat after their one-shot last year has been a delight—and seeing how they’ve been catching up on all the drama that’s happened since then has been, well, catnip.”
