8 Best Movie and TV Comic Book Tie-Ins
✖
Comic book tie-ins are a weird beast. At the right time and with the right creative team, they can provide a fascinating or desperately-needed window into your favorite movies or television shows, bringing to life moments that live-action or animation might not have been able to pull off. That isn t always an easy feat, as a large number of tie-in or licensed comics have been middling or unremarkable. But every so often, a tie-in comic proves to be something delightful and truly stellar, helping elevate the original franchise that it is a part of.
It’s been a hard winter for the Hulk. The Leader trapped Bruce Banner and most of his alters in Hell, leaving just two personalities inhabiting Hulk’s actual body, which has been drained of gamma energy until he looks more like the Jolly Green Giant.
Alone together this Christmas are Joe Fixit, the Vegas wise guy personality, and Devil Hulk, the destructive and child-like “Hulk smash” personality, who’s just looking for a little understanding. Unfortunately, Hulk is in New York City just as an endless horde of symbiote dragons controlled by a space god shows up.
Typical Marvel holiday season.
