On October 21 the New York Jets take on the Minnesota Vikings, also that day at The Meadowlands the Hulk will take on Thor. National Football League‘s Jets has teamed up with Marvel Comics to present fans with Hulk bobbleheads and a Hulk vs. Thor comic book and poster.
As part of the new partnership, the Jets will host a Green Out against the Minnesota Vikings on October 21st. Presented by Toyota, the Green Out will highlight the partnership with a Hulk vs. Thor theme, specifically featuring a 16-page Hulk vs. Thor comic book produced by Marvel and distributed by the Jets.
