The Incredible Hulk vs Superman.

They are two of the mightiest beings ever to walk the Earth ... two men who each lead Double Lives!

The Hulk ... half a ton of raging, primordial fury ... the unleashed Id of Doctor Robert Bruce Banner, given form and substance by  the power of a thermonuclear explosion.

Superman ... the last son of the doomed planet Krypton ... sent ot Earth where, as Clark Kent, he grew to adulthood with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men.

What if they met?  Would it be as friends or foes ... allies or enemies?  Reaching from the earliest years of their superhuman lives to the world both have helped shape today, this is the story of the fateful first encounter of the Incredible Man-Monster and the Man of Steel.

Roger Stern, the New York Times best-selling author of The Death and Life of Superman, and Steve Rude, the award-winning artist and co-creator of Nexus, join forces to tell an unforgettable story of power and intrigue which ranges from the towering skyscrapers of Metropolis to the vast deserts of the Southwest!

"...one of the better [Marvel/DC] crossovers. The writing had a lot to do with that. Roger Stern had strong ties to Marvel in the earlier part of his career before crossing over himself to DC and spending the better part of a decade charting the course for Superman.  Stern knows both universes and both characters ... he knows his history and it shows in his writing.  This story takes place after issue six of the original Incredible Hulk series and during John Byrne's Man of Steel mini-series.  It's an odd mix of histories, but Stern makes it work." -- Michael Bailey

"[Steve] Rude returns to the character again in a seamless blending of the Marvel and DC worlds with writer Roger Stern.  Stern and Rude present a story handling the characters that feels as if they've been alongside each other from day one.  Effortlessly fusing Kirby and Shuster's art styles and bringing respect to both.  Fans of either character should read this and let the debate over who's stronger rage on." -- Grimm, mightygeek.com

"When it comes to getting classic characters right, Stern is one of the best -- if not the best -- writers in the comics industry. Rude has seamlessly blended his wonderfully realistic faces, facial expressions, and figures with the recklessness of the 1940s Joe Shuster Superman and the sheer power of the 1960s Jack Kirby Hulk. Equally impressive is the way Milgrom's inks support the ambitions of the penciler.  This crossover gets my highest recommendation." -- Tony Isabella
