GIANT-SIZE HULK

In 2024, Marvel Comics is proudly bringing back GIANT-SIZE comics—more monumental and earth-shaking than ever before!

Honoring the 50th anniversary of the epic Giant-Size storytelling of the 1970s, these new Giant-Size issues will be home to pivotal status quo shifts, exciting first appearances, and dramatic developments each month! Following January’s GIANT-SIZE SPIDER-MAN #1, February’s GIANT-SIZE FANTASTIC FOUR #1, and March’s GIANT-SIZE SPIDER-GWEN #1 comes Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Andrea Broccardo’s GIANT-SIZE HULK #1.

Arriving in April, GIANT-SIZE HULK #1 will fit at home with Johnson’s horror-fueled current run of Incredible Hulk where Bruce Banner is embarking on a soul-crushing journey against supernatural forces. Now comes a showdown with a threat so big that it can only be contained in a giant-size issue! All aboard for a nonstop fight between the Jade Giant and a terrifying new foe named Patchwork Jack, all taking place amidst an explosive train ride!

Riding the rails is no walk in the park – especially for the INCREDIBLE HULK! And particularly when something – no, someONE – has been stolen from him by a gruesome new threat with evil machinations in mind. Clear the tracks – the HULK is coming through!!!

“The North Star I’ve been following on Incredible Hulk is to make EVERY ISSUE a horror and action showcase for the rockstar artists I’ve been so fortunate to work with,” Johnson explained. “I’ve pulled out all the stops to ensure readers don’t miss out on a single page of this book’s potential: new lore, new monsters, fan-favorite guest appearances from across the Marvel U, the most jaw-dropping fights imaginable, the gnarliest transformations Hulk has ever experienced… I want this to be a run that readers never forget. And when my editors asked for a GIANT-SIZE INCREDIBLE HULK one-shot, I knew we had to ramp all that up even more.

“The story we’re telling in GIANT-SIZE HULK #1 has been in the back of my mind since I started writing the series, just waiting for the right moment to be told,” he continued. “It sums up the horror-driven direction of the book, and features some of the most haunting and explosive visuals we’ve seen so far. It also features the first-ever appearance of a horrifying new character: Patchwork Jack, who I can’t wait for readers to meet. I promise you: no Hulk fan will want to miss this issue.”

Like all of next year’s GIANT-SIZE installments, GIANT-SIZE HULK #1 will boast a cover by superstar artist Bryan Hitch and reprint a classic adventure of its titular star, INCREDIBLE HULK #372. Part of Peter David and Dale Keown’s character-defining run and featuring high-speed action and heartrending drama, it’s a Hulk tale for the ages!

Check out Hitch’s cover and stay tuned for more GIANT-SIZE announcements in the months ahead! For more information, visit Marvel.com.

TERRA CARTA SEAL

SONEVA AWARDED THE 2023

TERRA CARTA SEAL

Sustainable Markets Initiative Recognizes Pioneering Companies Creating Climate and Nature-Positive Future

The leading eco-resort operator Soneva has been awarded the 2023 Terra Carta Seal from the Sustainable Markets Initiative, the only hotel brand to be recognized for its pioneering sustainability efforts.

Recognized for its remarkable sustainability efforts, Soneva, which has award-winning properties in the Maldives and Thailand, is the only hotel brand among a select group of large global organizations that received a 2023 Terra Carta Seal, including Airbus, Carbon Clean, CDPQ, DLA Piper, EY, Haier Smart Home, Hitachi, LanzaTech, Novartis, Orange, Ping An Bank, Pollination, ReNew, Robertson, Siemens Energy, and Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, Inc.

The Terra Carta Seal is awarded to companies that have demonstrated the success of a high-impact, large-scale, company-wide project, initiative or strategy that aligns with one or more of the Sustainable Markets Initiative’s ten Terra Carta articles. The winners were selected by a panel of global experts from the environmental, business, political and philanthropic worlds. Designed by Sir Jony Ive, the Terra Carta Seal was launched in 2021 at COP26 by His Majesty King Charles III when he was the Prince of Wales. Since its inception, the Sustainable Markets Initiative has awarded its coveted seal to just 83 companies globally.

“The Sustainable Markets Initiative’s Terra Carta Seal recognizes those companies that are taking great strides in delivering real-world outcomes,” said Jennifer Jordan-Saifi, CEO, Sustainable Markets Initiative. “As we stand on the eve of COP28, public, private sector and philanthropic actors will come together at the inaugural Business and Philanthropy Climate Forum to bridge the gap between ambition and action. It is examples exemplified by the 2023 Terra Carta Seal winners that are helping to inspire and lead the way.”

While there is currently no industry standard for environmental and social reporting, Soneva developed its own in-house Total Impact Assessment (TIA) methodology, which includes measuring its Environmental Profit and Loss (EP&L) and improving year-on-year. By taking a ‘planetary boundaries’ view of its social and environmental impact, the TIA assesses the impact from sources over which Soneva has both direct and indirect control, including natural capital, human capital, social capital, economic capital and tax.

“Soneva is honored to be awarded the prestigious 2023 Terra Carta Seal. We are dedicated to leading the way in responsible tourism and championing the transformative power of travel and tourism in global conservation efforts,” said Arnfinn Oines, Social & Environmental Conscience, Soneva. “Soneva resorts have been carbon neutral since 2012, and we recently invested US$9 million in 4.5MWp solar PV and 4.5MWh of battery storage at Soneva Fushi and Soneva Jani, which will take us to 50% of electricity from renewable energy.”

WAKANDA BANGS

WAKANDA BANGS THE DRUMS OF WAR IN THE ULTIMATE BLACK PANTHER #1 TRAILER

Bryan Hill and Stefano Caselli’s ULTIMATE BLACK PANTHER #1 arrives on February 7.

Spinning out of Jonathan Hickman and Bryan Hitch’s Ultimate Invasion, it’s the dawn of a new ULTIMATE UNIVERSE and with it comes an all-new ULTIMATE BLACK PANTHER series from the creative minds of Bryan Hill (Blade, Killmonger) and Stefano Caselli (X-Men Red, Avengers).

Hitting stands in February, this bold new take on Black Panther sees the legendary nation of Wakanda still isolated and kept secret from the world at large. When Khonshu and Ra – the force known together as Moon Knight – seek to expand their brutal control of the continent of Africa, Black Panther is forced to take his people out of the shadows for the first time! In addition to T’Challa, readers will also meet new Ultimate versions of Okoye, Shuri, Killmonger, Storm, and more in this rousing saga of duty, sacrifice, and love. Fans can get the first glimpse at the cast bracing themselves for war in the all-new ULTIMATE BLACK PANTHER trailer, featuring never-before-seen artwork.

“I was invigorated by this opportunity because in addition to my immense respect for Jonathan Hickman’s detailed storytelling, the idea of shepherding this bold new take on Black Panther in this event gives me a platform to do the kind of broad, epic, storytelling I’ve always wanted to do in comics,” Hill said.

“My influences range from the history of BLACK PANTHER comics to Ryan Coogler’s incredible work with the recent films, to Frank Herbert’s worldbuilding capacity of Dune,” he added. “This is something people won’t expect, in the best of ways, and full credit to Marvel and editors Wil Moss and Michelle Marchese for bringing this creative possibility to me.”

Following next month’s ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN, ULTIMATE BLACK PANTHER will be the second launch in Marvel’s new Ultimate line. The saga began with the Maker, one of the last survivors of the old Ultimate Universe, travelling back in time on a parallel Earth to create a world without heroes. He succeeded and ruled this world in secret through various global factions. Now, he’s vanished, and a quiet war has broken out across the planet to shape what will happen to his kingdom. Some want to control the world. Some want to free it. After discovering the dark truth, a young Tony Stark embarks on a bold mission to make things right. Meanwhile, Wakanda stirs, pressured from internal and external forces to take its rightful place on the global stage… Filled with modern takes on classic Marvel ideas and characters, the new Ultimate Universe is ripe for rich storytelling and a perfect evolution of the Ultimate brand. See it grow and develop in upcoming issues of ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN, ULTIMATE BLACK PANTHER, and March’s ULTIMATE X-MEN along with more Ultimate titles launching in the months ahead.

Check out some of the covers of ULTIMATE BLACK PANTHER #1 along with the ULTIMATE BLACK PANTHER #2 cover and preorder the series at your local comic shop today! For more information, visit Marvel.com.

Jobsnap

Revolutionizing the Home Services Landscape in the Gig Economy Era

Discover the app that’s redefining convenience, community, and quality in home services

In a world where the gig economy is swiftly redefining the workforce, a new player, JobSnap, is making waves in the home service industry. Founded by James Albis, a seasoned entrepreneur with a flair for innovative solutions, JobSnap is more than just an app – it’s a community builder.

Transforming Home Services
JobSnap stands out in the evolving gig economy as a pioneering platform in the home service sector. The new app transcends the typical app functionality to become a cornerstone of community engagement. It facilitates a seamless connection between homeowners in need of services and a diverse array of local contractors and gig workers, responding to the increasing demand for efficient, reliable home services. This platform uniquely balances the urgency of modern homeowners for quick and dependable service with the need of service providers for fair, transparent, and cost-effective client connections.

The core of JobSnap’s innovation lies in its focus on building lasting relationships rather than mere transactions. Homeowners are relieved of the burden of sifting through endless listings and reviews, as JobSnap offers a selection of professionals with verified skills and a history of reliability. For the service providers, JobSnap is more than a gateway to jobs; it’s a pathway to suitable, fulfilling work opportunities. This platform removes traditional barriers like excessive lead fees and complex marketing, allowing professionals to concentrate on delivering exceptional service. JobSnap fosters a community where feedback is encouraged and quality service is the norm, reshaping the home service industry into a more accessible, equitable, and efficient space.

Uplifting Service Providers
JobSnap’s innovative strategy is rooted in a deep commitment to empowering contractors and gig workers. This empowerment is vividly illustrated by the elimination of costly lead fees, which often burden service providers on other platforms. By removing these financial barriers, JobSnap not only enables contractors to conserve resources but also ensures they have direct access to numerous local job opportunities. This approach democratizes the marketplace, leveling the playing field for both emerging and established service providers.

The essence of JobSnap’s impact is its ability to foster a community among its users. Where many digital platforms place service providers in competitive isolation, JobSnap reverses this trend, creating an environment of collaboration, mutual support, and shared progress. The founders envision a platform where service providers coalesce not just as individuals seeking work, but as members of a larger, interconnected community striving for collective success. Beyond job connections, JobSnap nurtures an environment where providers can exchange insights, benefit from each other’s experiences, and collectively elevate industry standards. This not only enhances the individual experiences of service providers but also augments the overall quality of service available to homeowners.

Streamlining Communication
At the heart of JobSnap’s innovation in the home services industry is its ‘Snap and Post’ feature. This tool represents a significant advance in how service providers and homeowners connect, offering a user-friendly method that pivots away from the traditional text-heavy request formats. Homeowners can quickly capture and upload images to detail their service needs, making the app more accessible and significantly reducing the potential for miscommunications that often arise from text descriptions. This visual approach allows homeowners to effectively convey their requirements, while service providers get a clearer picture of the job scope before communication even begins.

JobSnap, through the ‘Snap and Post’ pioneering feature, not only improves the process of service procurement but also firmly establishes itself as a leader in the gig economy, setting new standards for service industry applications.

A Boon for Homeowners
JobSnap emerges as a trusted, transparent solution for homeowners navigating the complex world of local service procurement. The platform is thoughtfully designed to streamline the often-daunting process of finding skilled professionals for various home projects. Recognizing the common challenges faced by homeowners – the time and effort involved in searching, vetting, and communicating with contractors – JobSnap offers a simplified yet comprehensive approach to service requests.

The intuitive design of the JobSnap app transcends mere functionality; it’s an embodiment of user-friendly experience. Homeowners can effortlessly navigate through the platform, utilizing the innovative ‘Snap and Post’ feature to quickly express their service needs visually. This method not only expedites the process but also fosters clarity and understanding between homeowners and service providers. The JobSnap app is free for homeowners, ensuring easy access and convenience in finding trusted local service providers. JobSnap’s commitment to transparency is further demonstrated in its detailed provider profiles, featuring reviews and ratings. These profiles empower homeowners to make informed decisions based on proven competence and trustworthiness. The result is a confident, informed hiring process, nurturing trust and satisfaction in the homeowner-service provider dynamic.

Competitive Edge and Financial Accessibility
JobSnap distinguishes itself in the competitive landscape of home service platforms by offering an affordable subscription model alongside its focus on localized, real-time engagement. This dual approach caters to the immediate needs of its users and shows a deep understanding of the dynamic relationship between service providers and homeowners. In contrast to other platforms that often aim for a broader, less personalized market reach, JobSnap emphasizes local community engagement, fostering closer and more responsive connections between users. This focus on localized service enhances real-time interactions and delivery, aligning perfectly with the contemporary demand for rapid, customized services.

Moreover, JobSnap addresses a critical industry pain point: financial accessibility. The platform’s straightforward subscription model stands out in an industry often characterized by fluctuating costs and hidden charges. By offering a clear, predictable fee structure, JobSnap brings a sense of stability and simplicity to financial planning for service providers. This transparency not only builds trust but also enables smaller contractors and gig workers to engage in the market without worrying about unexpected expenses. For service providers, JobSnap offers an affordable subscription model at just $97 per month, making it an economically viable platform for contractors and gig workers. The combination of these strategic approaches — localized engagement and transparent pricing — positions JobSnap as a leader in the home services sector, marking it as a champion of clarity, community focus, and user-centric innovation.

Aligning with the Gig Economy
