    Call him the Maestro!

    In a broken future, the man once known as the Hulk is now neither man nor Hulk. After deposing Dystopia's ancient ruler, the Maestro sets his sights even higher. It's time everyone left on the ravaged planet Earth recognized their one true god! But the Maestro isn't the only would-be immortal left - and if he wants to truly dominate the globe, he'll have to face the most powerful beings left in creation. The Pantheon sees all - including a Hulk too powerful to leave alive! And just when his former allies have him on the ropes, the Maestro's true enemy shows his face at last - and nobody's going to like the future he has planned!

    Peter David continues the tale he began decades ago in the legendary HULK: FUTURE IMPERFECT!

But there are greater threats still lurking in the arid landscape of this ruined Earth, and even the Maestro didn't count on the Abomination rising from the dead and forming an alliance with the Sub-Mariner and a vengeance-crazed Doom!

    When Emil Blonsky turns out to be just the opening salvo of a larger attack, can the Maestro continue to out-smash and outwit the forces that want him dead? Prepare for World War M!

To take on the most monstrous Hulk of all, they will need powerful aid - but is that truly Odin they have found? And a mission to Norseheim to retrieve the Destroyer will only lead to battle with Ulik and his army of trolls. This is one warzone deserving of the name.
