These are to keep the comic book universe and the Marvel Studio line of films in sync going forward. Both Dr. Strange and Hulk films confirmed for Phase 3. The Hulk films are rumored to be based on Greg Paks runs including Planet Hulk and World War Hulk where the Hulk will sacrifice himself at the end of Avengers 2 and be stranded on a distance planet. Later he will return in World War Hulk, just in time for Avengers 3. Following AGE OF ULTRON, Marvel Comics is following up with another event later this year by Jonathan Hickman called INFINITY which features the Avengers 2 villain Thanos. The INFINITY event is meant to tie Marvel space titles including Nova, Thanos Rising, and Guardians of the Galaxy. Marvel will begin with a Free Comic Book Day issue spotlighting the upcoming event. Currently Marvel Tomorrow seems like a better marketing initiative than Marvel NOW!
