With their upcoming series Skaar : Son of Hulk , Marvel Comics seem to have come up with one solution for two dissimilar problems : How to give farsighted - term fans the illusion of character phylogeny without changing the original status quo too much , and how to work up on the traditionally low - selling Hulk dealership in time for this summertime ’s moving-picture show . Who knew that bastard half - alien tike could be so various ? Gamma - irradiated explanations as to where the new Hulk on the block amount from under the jump .
Skaar is really the offspring of io9 preferent Greg Pak , who come up with the mind while working on the class - longsighted “ Hulk As Space Barbarian ” epical Planet Hulk :
The new series will follow a bastard son that the Hulk knows nothing about – allow for him to exert his swingin ’ knight bachelor ways in his own comic book ; that whole “ illusion of change ” thing , you see ? – in the alien conglomerate setting that Pak created for his rooter - preferent Planet Hulk . Like all good scientific discipline fable , mind you , this alien romp has deeper meaning :
It ’s an geographic expedition of what you get if you leaven a person in a war - torn human race foray of every trace of civilisation – and then ask him to meet nicely with others . Skaar will utterly come of eld during the path of this story – but not precisely in that heartwarming , afterschool particular sort of way .
While there may be no sensitive exploration of Skaar ’s chilling experiments with the worldly concern of prescription drug from his mom ’s bag , I believe that there may be smash along the way .
Skaar : Son of Hulk launches in June .
