Over at Marvel.com, Jason talked about the next storyline after Hulk vs Banner and they showed the cover artwork for issue 8.

“Stay Angry flows out of the end of Hulk vs Banner, which has a big, shock ending that changes Hulk’s status quo and dynamic again. All I can really say is this is a five-issue story with each issue relatively self-contained for the most part, done by a different artist and in a different location. Hulk is bouncing around the world trying to figure out what’s going on and who’s beyond it, and he must stay angry.”

“The first issue finds The Hulk in the midst of some crazy shenanigans involving a Mexican drug cartel. It’s not tough to imagine Frank Castle getting involved in something like that. Hulk’s whole thing is he has to stay angry, so having The Punisher around might help with that.”

“I think you can put Hulk in a traditional super hero setting, but I like the stories where he’s outside those boundaries. In this arc I get to do that with each issue. These are not throwaway one shots. This is act two of my bigger story.”

The next big event for Marvel is the upcoming Avengers vs X-Men. Not exactly sure what is the driving force to make each group fight each other but they end up paring off and fighting one on one. From the image that was released by Marvel, it looks like the Hulk will be involved with the storyline and he will be going up against Emma Frost. Emma has her diamond form which is obviously strong plus she has her mental abilities. Of course, the Hulk has shown multiple times in the past that he has a resistance to mind control so that will not help her at all. Another Hulk image drawn by Carlo Pagulayan.

Hulk vs Emma Frost....yeah it's going to be a short fight.

Part 3 of the exciting four part ‘The Hulk Drives a Yaris’ video series has been released. Before the Hulk makes it to Cleveland, he makes a stop along the way and sees the Red Hulk. Very amusing series! Gotta love Marvel Legends figures. And the fact that they use the best looking Hulk action figure ever made is of course a bonus.

If you have never seen any of the Marvel “What The..?!” videos that have been done, you are definitely missing out.  Hilarious to say the least.  Here is a link to youtube showing a bunch of past ones.

They have just released a very cool series of them staring the Incredible Hulk of course!  It is actually a bit of a commercial for the Toyota Yaris car but that is the cool part!  My last name is Yarish, just one letter off!  And the Hulk, my favorite character to say the least, is driving the car!  Toyota should just go ahead and give me one of the cars.  There are going to be four videos in the series, here are the first two to be released.  Enjoy, I know I did!!!  (another cool part, I grew near Cleveland, which is where the Hulk heads to in his car)

In September 2012 Marvel will release the “Hulk: Season One” original graphic novel by writer Fred Van Lente and artist Tom Fowler. Like the other “Season One” OGNS, the book provides readers the full story of the Hulk’s early days and also offers long time fans a look at what those days would like if they happened in the 21st century.

Yep, it’s another retelling of the Hulk’s origins.  Fred has done some good writing from what I have seen so I have confidence he will do a good job and I am looking forward to this.  In regards to retelling of origins, how bad can this be compared to Byrne’s re-telling involved skrulls.  ugh.
