The leaked story that has been doing the rounds on the web comic forums and news spots like the Beat and Newsrama has been confirmed in USA Today with an article reporting that Damon Lindelof, co-creator of the hit series Lost has signed up to marvel. He is scripting Ultimate Wolverine Versus Hulk, a six issue mini-series which begins in December. It apprently follow on from Ultimates 2 with Nick Fury asking Wolverine to track down the big green dude.
Mighty Marvel issues the following statement:
“Damon Lindelof, co-creator and executive producer of the hit television series Lost, will bring his creative genius and storytelling talent to Marvel’s “Ultimate” universe this December with Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk .
Launched by Marvel in 2000, the Ultimate line re-introduces several of Marvel’s most popular characters in 21st-century settings. Featuring hyper-realistic drawing and state-of-the-art computer coloring, the Ultimate books allow a new generation of readers to grow up with their favorite Marvel superheroes.
Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk will mark Lindelof’s first comic book writing effort. He will bring his storytelling magic to Marvel’s Ultimate Universe in a high-octane tale that echoes the classic first appearance of Wolverine (from Incredible Hulk #181). Dr. Bruce Banner (a.k.a. the Hulk) has been presumed dead since his execution following a murderous rampage through Manhattan.
But when reports start cropping up of an unidentified creature appearing around the globe, General Nick Fury – head of America’s premiere intelligence organization, S.H.I.E.L.D – begins to get worried. Not because Banner can turn from man to unstoppable monster in seconds, but because Banner’s existence is the one secret that can bring down Fury. So Fury turns to the only man he can trust: James Logan, a.k.a. Wolverine of the X-Men, to take care of Banner – by any means necessary.
The series will be illustrated by Leinil Yu (Wolverine and X-Men), who recently signed an exclusive contract with Marvel.”
