Marvel Comics has revealed Peter David and Yildiary Cinar are teaming up for a new Incredible Hulk going by the name Joe Fixit. The character is a grey Hulk originally created by Peter David. The series follows David’s Maestro series and follows suit with a “lost” story with the character. The series arrives sometime in 2023.
The series will follow Joe Fixit in Las Vegas as a hedonistic bodyguard.
“When I created Joe Fixit decades ago, it was merely as a means to shake up the standard formula,” David explained.
“Typically Bruce would have set up some sort of situation and he would be worried that the Hulk would inevitably show up and screw things up. The storyline with Joe flipped the formula on its head, and set up the Hulk with his great situation in Vegas and he was worried that Bruce would show up to screw things up. I had no idea that the character would have this much staying power, and that so much would eventually be done with him in the pages of the IMMORTAL HULK. I’m thrilled that Marvel has given me this opportunity to revisit with an old friend.”
