Fan-favorite Hulk creators Peter David and Dale Keown will unite with artist German Peralta in August for Maestro, a new series exploring the origins of the villain who debuted in David’s Hulk: Future Imperfect in 1992.
The series of unspecified length will explore the story of how Bruce Banner/Hulk went from the version of the character most folks know to the hyper-evolved, villainous Maestro in an alternate future.
“I had no idea that when I first created the Maestro for Future Imperfect, that he would have the kind of popularity and staying power he has now,” David stated in the series announcement. “Until now, I’ve only been able to allude to his origins, so I was thrilled to have the opportunity to explore them in this series, and I can’t wait for fans to see all the artwork that’s been coming in!”
Maestro #1 is due out in August.
