Marvel writers talk new 'Hulk' series

Marvel writers Jeph Loeb and Greg Pak have revealed details of the upcoming miniseries World War Hulks.

According to Newsarama, the plotline will follow in the wake of two prelude specials titled Alpha and Gamma, which will introduce a mysterious group known as the Intelligencia who have been around since the dawn of the Marvel Universe.

Both scribes are hoping to build on 2007's successful crossover event World War Hulk, which was penned by Pak. "I've got so much respect for Greg and what he accomplished with World War Hulk - and everything he did that led up to it," said Loeb.

"Our mission is to match, or possibly even top WWH. Fortunately, I have the WWH architect as my partner."

Greg Pak added: "It's been a blast working with Jeph. He's incredibly supportive, hilarious, and full of insane ideas and a deep love of these characters.

"What I love about the story we're building with World War Hulks is that it may have more smash than any Hulk story ever told - but it's also a massive emotional story with world-changing consequences for every member of the Hulk family," he continued.

"We're smashing things up but good in ways that provide massive emotional closure but lay incredibly rich groundwork for the future."

World War Hulks: Alpha is released in December.
