Ultimate Showdown: Hulk vs. Titan in Marvel Finale!

The epic final fight Hulk vs. Titan is about to unfold in the Marvel Universe one last time, as the conclusion to the current ongoing Hulk series from Marvel Comics is coming this week. After turning himself into a literal starship and traveling across the galaxy while running from his mysterious dark and murderous side, Titan, the Hulk found solace after crash-landing on Hulk Planet. In a world where Gamma monsters lived free and unbothered by what was happening elsewhere in the universe, Hulk appeared to find his final resting place where he could spend the rest of his life. However, that idea was quickly dashed.
Unfortunately, the Hulk’s dark side re-remerged, and Titan began destroying the planet he started to believe could be his home - with the villain D’Spayre secretly behind its creation and responsible for the Mind Palace where Bruce Banner piloted the Jade Giant. Now, with Doctor Strange helping him suppress Titan as he unleashes his deadliest attack yet, Hulk’s last battle with Titan is coming.
Invincible co-creator Ryan Ottley has steered Starship Hulk since the announcement writer Donny Cates was departing the series with four issues left in its 14-issue run. The artist has done an admirable job trying to stick the landing of the current Hulk series, as he’s writing and drawing the current book with Frank Martin on colors. This Wednesday, the “Hulk Planet” arc reaches its dramatic conclusion. Check out the text solicit for Hulk #14, which teases the final battle between Hulk and Titan.
Titan is now in control, and his endless rage will lead to the destruction of Hulk Planet. Within the remaining fragments of the Mind Palace, Bruce Banner must reckon with the harm he has inflicted on the Hulk if either of them are to have any chance of regaining control and saving the planet but Bruce knows better than anyone that once a part of the Hulk has unlocked itself, there’s no closing that door ever again… Surprise revelations and shocking twists abound in Ryan Ottley’s mind-blowing “Hulk Planet” finale!
Hulk #14 features cover art from Ottley, an adorable variant featuring cutesy versions of Hulk and Titan from fan-favorite artist Skottie Young, Canadian artist Nic Klein provides a terrific Earth-shattering variant featuring Titan, and comic book legend Alex Ross’ Timeless variant featuring Abomination will be one of the variants with a 1:100 penciled incentive variant also available. The issue will also set the tone for Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Nic Klein’s upcoming Hulk series, which will refocus the hero in an all-new series coming out on June 21.
Don’t forget to grab your copy of the final issue of Hulk from Ottley and Martin, which arrives in comic book stores on Wednesday. Continue to check our site for future announcements regarding the next ongoing Hulk series too!
