It’s been almost three decades since The Maestro debuted in the iconic, now-classic Peter David, George Perez story. But while the book is a definitive Hulk tale, and the character itself has become a fan favorite, there’s. precious little known about him.

That however, is about to change.

“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,” recounts Peter David. “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!”
