Comic Vine (via Yahoo!) just dropped a most interesting preview for an upcoming comic titled, simply enough, "Thanos vs. Hulk." No catchy subtitle or anything like that, just "Thanos vs. Hulk" as if it were going to be a four issue wrestling match between the two titans that will employ the entire universe as the "squared circle."
Not that that wouldn't, or couldn't, be super cool in and of itself, here's Marvel's official synopsis of the four-issue event series:
"The Green Goliath goes toe-to-toe with the Mad Titan for a universe shaking cosmic throwdown in 'THANOS VS. HULK' #1 - the first issue in a brand new limited series kicking off this December! Legendary creator Jim Starlin ('Infinity Gauntlet,' 'Thanos: The Infinity Revelation' OGN) returns to answer the question - is Hulk really the strongest there is? Abducted by Pip the Troll and dragged halfway across the galaxy to be ransomed to Annihilus, Hulk is already angry. You wouldn't like him when he's angry. But Annihilus has plans of his own - plans that will put the Incredible Hulk directly in the path of Thanos, the Mad Titan! Guest starring Iron Man, Blastarr, S.H.I.E.L.D. and more, be there when Jim Starlin brings two of the Marvel Universe's heaviest hitters to planet shaking blows in 'THANOS VS. HULK' #1 this December!"
You can almost hear an overblown wrestling announcer reading that, can't you? I've always been a big fan of Jim Starlin's work in the past so, hopefully, he will elevate this to something worthwhile because at first blush this looks kind of silly.
