For the rest, you will have to check out "Wizard" magazine for August 26 - Mike says they have an exclusive to tattle on who is in the line-up.
By the way - when Hulk changes from Banner to, eh, Hulk, ever wonder how his pants expand with him? Well, in this version, he may be "sans pants", if you know what I mean. Maybe this is why Marvel ditched the comic code, hmmm???

Fans saved Spider-Girl! Yes, Spider-Girl #37 is on the street August 8 due to a mail and email campaign to Marvel Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada and President Bill Jemas.
