In news that may force even me to start buying a Hulk book, today it was announced in a press release that Dale Eaglesham (recently of “Fantastic Four” and “Steve Rogers: Super Soldier”) will be taking over as the artist on “Incredible Hulk” alongside writer Greg Pak.
The first arc finds Pak and Eaglesham taking the Hulk crew to the Savage Land in “Planet Savage,” as the Hulk “cut(s) a swath of destruction through the Savage Land with guest-stars Ka-Zar, Red She-Hulk, Skaar and Korg in tow.” This sounds too entertaining to pass up, so Marvel, you’ve gotten yourself another reader. Can’t wait to see what Eaglesham does on this book.
Check out the press release after the jump.

Marvel is pleased to announce that superstar artist Dale Eaglesham (Fantastic Four) joins New York Times bestselling author Greg Pak on Incredible Hulk this February! The new team launches headfirst into “Planet Savage” — a new three-part story arc starting with Incredible Hulk #623. Witness the Green Goliath cut a swath of destruction through the Savage Land with guest-stars Ka-Zar, Red She-Hulk, Skaar and Korg in tow. But is the world’s wildest terrain the perfect place for a newly remerged enemy to snuff out the Hulk clan for good?
Prepare for more gamma-infused mayhem than ever before!
“I’m having the most fun I’ve had in years right now. I feel like a kid in a candy store — Hulk, KaZar, the Savage Land? It doesn’t get any better than that for me,” says Eaglesham. “A Hulk book means that I get to unabashedly draw musculature, which everyone knows I love. And I get to work with Greg, who is such a good guy, a real team player, and seems as excited about this as I am. These are fun times!”
Mark Paniccia, Marvel Senior Editor, added “I’m really psyched the timing worked out so Dale could draw this Savage Land arc. His stuff has a cool blend of elegance and Kirby-style kinetics. And the detail is absolutely stunning!”
Greg Pak and Dale Eaglesham’s mean, green “Planet Savage” starts in February. Don’t miss it!
