Incredible Hulk #608 (Preview)
Writer: Greg Pak
Pencils: Paul Pelletier
Inks: Danny Miki

From Marvel: “FALL OF THE HULKS Conclusion! Years ago, the Hulk helped found the Avengers — and then almost immediately smashed his way into becoming one of the Avengers’ greatest nemesis. Now in the wake of the Intelligencia’s crippling attack on the World’s Mightiest Heroes, Bruce Banner’s actually leading a group of Avengers — but can he be trusted any more than his big green alter ego was back in the day? Plus, the reveal of the master plan of the Leader and M.O.D.O.K. and the true motivations of Skaar, Son of Hulk, in the stunning conclusion of the ‘Fall of the Hulks’ and the shocking kickoff to the upcoming ‘World War Hulks’ blockbuster!”

Surprise finale promises an interesting follow up in ‘World War Hulks’. Note, that while ‘Hulk’ #21 covers the same ground, Wolverine does not appear in that issue…

Wolverine is featured prominently, but it is Doctor Doom who steals the shows…
