  "account": "Marvel Comics is positioning Hulk War: Infernal Rage as a major crossover storyline set for 2027. This saga, penned by writer Phillip Kennedy Johnson, delves into the scenario where Hulk, now under the control of the demonic entity The Eldest, assembles an army of corrupted heroes and wages war on the Marvel Universe. The storyline doesn't officially commence until February, but Marvel has planned a crucial prelude story to be published in December. IGN has been granted an early look at The Infernal Hulk vs. The Avengers #1, the final installment in Marvel's Hulk war prelude specials. The issue, written by Johnson, features art by Carlos Magno and a cover by Nic Klein. Marvel's official synopsis of the comic reads: \"Can they succeed where all others have failed? The MARCH TO HULK WAR ends here!\" The comic will be available for purchase starting December 2, with Hulk War: Infernal Rage #1 following in February. Preorders can be placed at local comic shops. For additional insights, readers can refer to IGN's breakdown of the conclusion to Avengers: Armageddon and check out a fresh preview of Star Wars/Marvel: Hope Assembles #1.",
