Joe Quesada moderating...

Bill Rosemann, will be working on tie in book for event.

Christos N. Gage will be writing two books for event.

Frank Tieri writing Gamma Corps.

Pak writing Incredible Hulk.

Jim McCann will be marketing.

Quesada starts off with a joke that Hulk just eats Earth.

Peter David wrote Prelude.

WWH, five issue miniseries and four IH issues tying in to the main book.

Five covers form giant image of Illuminati fighting Hulk. Last cover hidden. Secret who Hulk fights at end.

Images from book: Giant ship appears over New York, Hulk projects his image into Times Square

Incredible Hulk 106-109, Pak, Gary Frank, will follow those who side WITH Hulk. Hercules, Angel, and others on cover.

World War Hulk: X-Men 1-3. Gage and DiVito. Great cover image of Hulk about to pop Xavier's head like a blister. McGuinness cover.

Hulk shows up at Xavier's. Doesn't know about 198. Distress call due to Hulk possibly eliminatingg rest of mutants in the world in his rampage. Dream project for Gage.

WWH: Gamma Corp. Tieri and Ferreira. "Villain" book. General Ryker back from Dogs of War storyline. Puts together military unit to bring down Hulk. Think team from "Predator" with gamma powers.Deals with consequences of having Hulk in the world.

WWH: Frontline 1-6. Jenkins and Bachs. Follow up to Civil War Frontline. Street level look at the event. Multiple stories. Lead story with reporters Ben Urich and Sally. Danny in backup story (Sally's cop boyfriend). Two page humor bit in back of book.

Pak says tie-in scripts look amazing so far.

Gage says WWH #1 is phenomenal and the reason comics are better than movies.

Iron Man 19 & 20 tie in to WWH, Tony's first big challenge as director of SHIELD. Changes dynamic. Gigantic defense organization at his beck and call, but it's a grudge match. Does he put these soldiers in harms way over that? Gage writing.

Humbug in Heroes For Hire can talk to the Brood.

Ghost Rider ties in as well.

Avengers The Initiative #4 also ties in. More from Slott in next panel.

Young Avengers one-shot for WWH. Loeb and Finch.

Question answers:
Tony will be trying to change culture of SHIELD. Will meet resistance.

Century will be in WWH.
Mystery hero at end.

Illuminati #2, each member has an Infinity Gem, will be addressed in WWH why they don't use those.

Everyone will try to go head to head with Hulk. Get to see all the heroes try.

Idea came from summit, came before Civil War. Had gotten away from Hulk smashing, more a mystery book for a time. Summer event could be "Spartacus in space". While planning for Planet Hulk, Loeb or Bendis mentioned doing Civil War. Decided to do that concept first, decided Planet Hulk worked better coming after Civil War.

Why follow up tie-in heavy CW with another event with tie-ins (35 tie ins over 4 months)? Smaller number of tie ins than Civil War. There was a lot of chopping in Civil War event. A lot was whittled down. If you just read WWH main title, you will get a complete story. Entire X-Men story takes place in 47 minutes during the main storyline.

Quesada hates when tie-ins are required for the story. Civil War tie-ins added to story but weren't required. You were "absolutely cool" just reading main Civil War book.

Squirrel Girl is Ronan (not really).

Hulk writers always seem to take a different spin on Hulk, what is the core of the book, then? Creators bring their flavor. Consistency of character helped along by editor. Hulk has always been about radical changes. At first he only changed at night and was crafty. Then was savage and cavemen like. Not inconsistent, book is about who is the hero and who is the monster and as Banner grows the thing that comes out of him changes.

Reed and Sue back together on cover? Not in FF team, but are in book. Just back to fight? Maybe.

(Kid asking) Will Hulk fight Venom in WWH? Check Gamma Corp for villain action.

Venom will show up this summer.

Hulk/Juggernaut rematch? Won't say one way or the other. Don't want to spoil.

Quesada like the current ratio of event books to regular books. Fans want these event books right now. It goes through cycles, but this is what they want now. Permanent event culture? Less than 10% of total number of books from Marvel in a month is part of WWH. X-Men used to be one quarterly event after another. What is an event 10 titles? Is the big Spider-Man story an event? Quesada believes so.

Avengers: The Initiative, Stark has put Rhodey in charge of 50 State Initiative. Every registered hero is drafted. Initiative is superhero boot camp, training for these registered heroes. In WWH, they throw their superhero army after the Hulk.

WWH starts immediately after She-Hulk #18. Like ten seconds after. Jen learns what Reed and Tony did to her cousin.

Everybody runs through The Initiative. In #2 Rangers team in Texas, plus all the flying heroes dealing with a Hydra air attack.

Maestro is similar in image to Planet Hulk Hulk. Won't speculate on connection. By end of WWH, you will see an interesting angle on that possible connection.

Will see how this all effects Banner. Hulk 103, Banner appears on Planet Hulk.

And Planet Hulk will not end with someone crying and giving up.
