Forget Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts. Move over Tom Cruise and Will Smith. Two of 2003's biggest box-office giants are The House's own Wolverine and the Hulk, and early next year the two stars team up in a Marvel-style 'buddy flick' ... only these buddies fight. HULK/WOLVERINE: 6 HOURS debuts this January with the release of the first two issues of this new four-issue limited series.

Featuring art by Scott Kolins and covers by Simon Bisley, 6 HOURS is written by Bruce Jones, the critic and fan-favorite writer of INCREDIBLE HULK. Covering just six hours in 'real time', the series pits the Hulk and Wolverine in a race against a ticking clock and on-the-run drug dealers to save the life of a young boy.

Readers can check out the first 'few minutes' of the conflict with a free 12-page DOTCOMICS preview of issue #1 appearing right now at Marvel.com. And retailers can take a look at the action too before HULK/WOLVERINE: 6 HOURS #1 & 2's Initial Order Cut-Off date of 12/06.

And to get started, here's a look at the first two pages. The dotComic preview continues at <a href="http://dotcomics.marvel.com/lib/launchissue.php?issue=138" target="_blank">http://dotcomics.marvel.com/lib/launchissue.php?issue=138</a>

This should be an interesting contrast to Sam Keith's Wolverine/Hulk mini last year from Marvel Knights.

It makes sense to have this on the racks I guess given the fact that both X-Men and Hulk are major motion pictures in this upcoming year.

After the first story arc of HULK, I stopped buying the ongoing series in favour of getting the TPBs instead. I bought volume two a few weeks ago but haven't got round to reading it yet.

Now I'll be putting aside some time for it. This preview rocks!

Who actually wrote that cheesy blurb? I hope it wasn't Doran . . .

Although I pretty much dislike everything about what this series stands for and think it hardly deserves production, I'm a sucker for the Kolins. dammit. However, the preview images don't cater to any of his strengths, so unless I get a few juicy splash pages, I might even skip this

It's not all that cheesy. Give the "dot.comic" a chance, I think you might like it. :)
