What The Hulk Did Next... In Space

Sure, everyone's all excited about the new Incredible Hulk movie - well, aside from the killjoys who want to point out that it's not scientifically possible - but what about the people who'd rather see Bruce Banner's Mean Green alter-ego get into some gladitorial action in deep space without paying $40 for the Planet Hulk collection? Marvel Comics are coming to your rescue with Hulk Saga, a free online recap of what happens when you send gamma-irradiated killing machines into orbit. More »
