Broken Frontier

After crushing Black Bolt of the Inhumans and Iron Man (even in his "invincible" Hulkbuster armor) in World War Hulk #1, the Green King is ready to take out his pent-up anger on the next line of Earth defense—the Avengers and Ghost Rider!

In Avengers: The Initiative #4, the Superhuman Armed Forces step up to the challenge of the Hulk and his Warbound, but do they have what it takes to defeat the Emerald Giant who smashed the Armored Avenger? These young heroes have trained with Yellowjacket, War Machine, and the Thing, but their preparation might not be enough to halt an angry force of nature. And Hardball may be hiding a secret that could alter the course of the entire war! Renowned writer Dan Slott and fan-favorite artist Stefano Caselli bring you another exhilarating chapter of the World War Hulk saga.

Johnny Blaze convinces the ruthless Ghost Rider into taking a break from hunting down the avatars of Lucifer to battle the Hulk and save innocent lives. Ghost Rider can take on the devil himself, but the Hulk may prove to be more than a match for ol’ Flamehead! Who will survive this no-holds-barred showdown – the Spirit of Vengeance or the rampaging Hulk? Fan favorites Daniel Way and Javier Saltares reveal the suspenseful conclusion of this grudge match in Ghost Rider #13!

With every tie-in to World War Hulk selling out at Diamond (though copies may be available at the retail level), and continued mainstream interest in this summer blockbuster, Marvel urges retailers to check their orders on these two newest World War Hulk tie-ins. The Hulk has already destroyed two of the Illuminati, so pick up Avengers: The Initiative #4 and Ghost Rider #13 to see who—if anyone—survives after the Incredible Hulk thrashes the Marvel Universe even further!
