What does Tony Stark have in common with the most dedicated cosplayers at a pop culture convention? They're both always working on something, usually some form of armor. God forbid a man have hobbies!

Iron Man's habit of tinkering will work to save both his life and soul in Marvel Comics' upcoming Infernal Hulk #6, which marks the debut of his Hellbuster armor. Written by Phillip Kennedy Johnson, with art by Nic Klein, The Infernal Hulk #6 will put Avenger against Avenger as "Iron Man leads an overpowered strike force to level the Living City and end the Age of Monsters forever," as per Marvel's synopsis of the issue, which also asks, "Will Tony's new Hellbuster Armor and the spear of the One Above All be enough to keep him alive against the Infernal Hulk? Or will he be corrupted like all the others?"

The issue - which continues the story of a Hulk possessed by The Eldest, an ancient horror that has replaced Bruce Banner as the alter ego of the Strongest One There Is - will hit stands this April. Feast your eyes upon Nic Klein's glorious cover for the issue:

Klein's cover is an homage to the Archangel Michael slaying Satan in the form of a serpent, one of the most enduring images in Christian art. The imagery is apt because, well, we're talking about The Infernal Hulk here, after all - and it also sets the stage for what I would imagine will be one of the greatest fights that either character has been a part of. (Which, considering Tony Stark has previously built an armor called The Hulkbuster, is really saying something.) It's no secret that Tony Stark has dealt with his fair share of demons in the past, so how will his new descent compare to his past trials and tribulations? See how it all shakes out in just a handful of months. 

The Infernal Hulk #6 will be released on April 15, 2026.
