"What do you get when you combine two of Marvel's most popular characters with an all-star creative team and let them run wild together? Answer: One hell of a time! Spider-Man and the Hulk have had plenty of run-ins in the past…  get set for an adventure full of nonstop action, side-splitting quips, guest-stars galore, and copious pop-culture references beginning in August. This ultra-accessible and pun-filled five issue limited series begins when Easter Mass in Central Park is interrupted by Mole Man and a horde of Man-themed supervillains. Not one to let a pun go to waste (or a holiday be ruined) Peter Parker suits up and steps in to save the day… before the Incredible Hulk makes his presence felt as only the Jade Giant can. Together with Matt Murdock, Spidey learns that Bruce Banner is intent on solving his "Hulk" problem once and for all with the help of the church. Namely, through an exorcism of his big green counterpart!

"I've played with Peter Parker and swung with Spider-Man before, but this is the first time I'm having Hulk issues," explains Smith. "Andy and I are dropping two of Marvel's most well-known scientists into a spiritual story of Biblical proportions as we exorcise the Incredible Hulk – and I'm not talking cross-fit!"
