Hulk & Doctor Strange #1 arrives — a mind‑bending foray into the Hulk’s origin

When Bruce Banner can’t face his own past alone, he turns to Stephen Strange. Their first adventure together promises a deep dive into the Hulk’s beginnings and a question about rewriting history.

Hulk & Doctor Strange #1 marks the debut of a team‑up that’s been whispered about for years. The issue pairs Marvel’s green titan with the Sorcerer Supreme, setting the stage for a story that looks inward as much as it looks outward.

In this opening chapter, Banner, still haunted by the monster within, seeks out Strange—the only doctor willing to examine his psyche. Together they journey back to the moment the gamma bomb altered his life, probing whether a single choice can truly be undone.

The collaboration is guided by veteran writer J. Michael Straczynski, whose knack for blending grand ideas with personal stakes shines through. German Peralta delivers kinetic panels that capture both the raw fury of the Hulk and the sleek mysticism of Strange, while Terry Dodson’s cover teases the uneasy partnership with striking detail.

If the blend of science and sorcery intrigues you, give The Mighty Marvel Manner #1 a look. It teams May Parker with Agatha Harkness in an unlikely alliance that echoes the fresh partnership explored here.

Pick up this issue and see how two of Marvel’s most complex characters confront the past together.
