The gamma-powered rage and strength of the Hulk has always been more of a curse than a blessing to Bruce Banner. He’s tried to rid himself of his giant green alter ego on numerous occasions over the years, but he’s never been successful for very long.

That might be changing, because there’s a new Hulk coming to town, and he’s totally awesome. Seriously, as you may have heard, Amadeus Cho is going to be the one doing the changing in the All-New, All-Different Marvel Universe, and he’ll be doing it in Totally Awesome Hulk #1 by Greg Pak and Frank Cho.

Yes, it’s significant because it’s a Korean-American super hero whose adventures are being told by two Korean-American creators. Yet the series should be plenty interesting even viewed in a vacuum, as this bit of promotion by Marvel suggests:

A 19-year old boy genius is now the strongest being in the Marvel Universe. What could possibly go wrong? The mystery behind the Hulk’s new identity may have been revealed. But the questions don’t stop there. How did he come to be? What happened to Bruce Banner in the previous eight months. All will be revealed. But first – prepare for a completely different kind of Hulk. Not tormented. Not conflicted. Just a giant green wrecking machine who loves being the Hulk!

That’s something we’ve never truly seen before, as even the Red Hulk, who was definitely a lot less upset about turning into a monster than Banner, was aware of the disadvantages that come with being the Hulk. It’s also great to know the creative team hasn’t forgotten about Banner, who played an important role in the run-up to Secret Wars.

Totally Awesome Hulk #1 will smash its way into stores and digital on December 2, but we’ve got preview pages and variant covers by Cho and Woo Chul Lee for you to peruse right now. Don’t miss the beginning of an honest to goodness new era for the Green Goliath. Or maybe we should call him the Jolly Green Giant? Ah, never mind, that nickname’s been taken.
