Maestro Hulk Origin Coming From Peter David, Dale Keown

Longtime Hulk fans may remember one unsolved mystery from the classic storyline Future Imperfect: What is the secret origin of the character called Maestro? Now, after 30 years, the answer is about to be revealed.

With the current Immortal Hulk series going strong, and with the character’s newfound popularity courtesy of the MCU, Marvel has chosen to return to Future Imperfect. Writer Peter David — recently seen in Marvel Comics #1000 — will team with artists Dale Keown and Germán Peralta to finally tell the untold story.

David says,

“I had no idea that when I first created the Maestro for Future Imperfect, that he would have the kind of popularity and staying power he has now. Until now, I’ve only been able to allude to his origins, so I was thrilled to have the opportunity to explore them in this series, and I can’t wait for fans to see all the artwork that’s been coming in!”
