I was going to make this thread but I left it alone. It's going to be a HUGE battle. Don't think Starlin will write it like what was presented in the interview (with Hulk having the power to crush Thanos). Hope the battle is drawn out and good. I think they are going to fight more than once and from what I've heard, Hulk is taking on both Annihilus and Blastaar as well. So this will most def be a good showing for both Thanos and Hulk and it's a battle long overdo.
As much as I believe Thanos should pummel Hulk into the dust if fighting seriously,
If Thanos defeated him in one go it wouldn't be fun. I think we're gonna get a storyline for the first 3 issues when we get fully why Thanos wants to fight Banner.
Then issue 4 there will probably be a close fight between the 2 with Thanos finally wins by either KO'ing Hulk or knocking him out via other means.
They have something Pip the troll wants and in exchange, they asked Pip to bring them the Hulk/Bruce Banner. Pip change his mind during the middle of the exchange and decides to use Hulk as a weapon. That's all I know for right now. The latest scene have Thanos transporting Pip onto his ship (I'm guessing to discuss why he brought the Hulk into the mix)...
Hulk will also be mind controlled during a lot of this. Don't know how long that will come into play but I think Starlin will do justice for both characters. He said that he will be using current Indestructible Hulk (Waid Hulk) for this fight and that version of Hulk has been d*** near unstoppable.
I think Starlin will write a close fight as he likes Hulk plus Marvel won't want/allow Hulk to get beat in a bad way after how Pak was hounded by Hulk fans after Zeus humiliated him.
Main thing is Carver will twist and take everything out of context in both for and against Hulk.
Thanos will be winning. Then Hulk will surprise him with some impressive feat, then Thanos will win anyway using his smarts. At least one of the encounters will go that way.

I predict Carver being the de facto keyboard warrior that will either annoy the forum to death if Hulk wins and take all the pain from the Thanos guys or just take the razzing from them if Hulk loses.
I would guess Hulk will look (or at least be implied to be) as strong or stronger although Thanos will win by other means if any fights go to conclusive outcomes.
Whatever happens, it's a win-win situation (or at least, a no-lose situation) for Hulk fans as far as I can see (at least those of the battle board mentality - the story will probably be bad).
If Thanos looks way out of Hulk's league... well, that's just what most people would expect. In the last year or so he's casually owned Black Bolt, Beta Ray Bill and Thor so he can't look particularly bad by comparison barring a one-shot KO or something.
If Hulk looks remotely comparable to Thanos physically, that's a decent showing given the aforementioned physical ownings of some of Marvel's heaviest hitters and Thanos' general above top-tier status.
If Hulk looks or is suggested as being (or potentially being) flat-out stronger/physically more formidable than Thanos, well that's a great showing and would be pretty conclusive proof that Hulk is/can be way beyond his peers of yesteryear under the right conditions.
I don't think there's much (any) chance of Hulk actually winning outright, but he doesn't need to in order to have an excellent showing. If Starlin were to write Hulk stronger than Thanos as the infamous Champion fight might imply is at least a possibility, some sections of Thanos fandom (and other people critical of the idea that Hulk is potentially above top tier) will have to eat some serious crow. And if he doesn't, Hulk still looks no worse than the people most consider to be his peers (Thor, BB, BRB, Surfer etc).
I think Thanos fans have more to fear from this series than Hulk fans overall.
This thread will be another Namor/Panther prediction thread.
Who has the most vocal fanbase here willing to post more and more outrageous claims for multiple pages.
