This June, Original Sin continues to send shockwaves through the Marvel Universe as two of Earth’s Mightiest clash in a battle for the ages – and neither will walk away the same, if at all! Today, Marvel is proud to present your very first look at HULK VS. IRON MAN #1, the first issue in a 4-part crossover that pits the Green Goliath against the Armored Avenger with personal stakes and gut-wrenching revelations.

Superstar writers Mark Waid & Kieron Gillen join blockbuster artists Mark Bagley and Luke Ross for a gamma-bomb sized collision. The events of Original Sin have released the greatest secrets of the Marvel Universe. And Bruce Banner is about to learn a secret that’s stayed buried for a long time. A secret that goes back to that fateful day that gamma radiation turned man into monster:

Was Tony Stark responsible for creating the Incredible Hulk?

“How badly does Hulk take this news?” asks writer Mark Waid in an interview with Marvel.com. “The answer should surprise no one.”

“People have been digging the love/hate relationship between Marvel’s polar opposite geniuses both on screen and in the comics,” says Senior Editor Mark Paniccia. “[Mark and Kieron] are delving into some really compelling history with Tony and Bruce…some very cool dots will get connected and you’ll see one of the best superhero fights in history.”

Bruce Banner and Tony Stark are in for an emotional rollercoaster thanks to the events of Original Sin. The secret history of that fateful day stands revealed, and it’s about to set Hulk and Iron Man on a deadly collision course. When the dust settles – who will be left standing? Find out when the two Avengers go toe-to-toe this June in HULK VS. IRON MAN #1 – an Original Sin tie-in!

it better not be a The Thing explanation. wonky causality nonsense. Stark should do it on purpose. like literally almost. He should indirectly directly be responsible.

I'm not liking this. At least not initially. If Tony had a hand in what happened to Bruce due to a drunken stupor (what is up with that martini glass?) then it just makes me dislike the character even more. I don't feel I have anything valuable to add to this since I'm not really an Iron Man or Hulk fan but as a fringe Marvel fan, I don't like how they have these heroes dipping into each other's histories to the point of being a part/reason for their situations.

Between what's being suggested over on the Fantastic Four title to now this, I'm not all that enthused. I'm in though. I hope it's not all flash and no substance.

Is Tony Stark even a good guy at this point?

@granitesoldier: I'm hoping too. But knowing Marvel now that Iron Man is the golden boy...I don't have much faith.

He does seem to be many places at once these days doesn't he?

No more so than Batman

Who has nothing to do with anything here.

Batman is over-used. I hope that Tony is not the cause of the hulk, Banner is already moaning that he is playing second fiddle to Tony in the inventing area, so to have Tony invent Hulks too would be a bit dissapointing.
