The graphic novel is called Masters of the Sun - The Zombie Chronicles and will be released in the summer.

It's all about aliens, zombies and hip-hop in Los Angeles.

Peas frontman will.i.am wrote the story and said: "We've been working on this original story for years and partnering with Marvel to bring this book to life is more than a dream come true."

The graphic novel centres around the character Zulu-X, a hip-hop lover in LA.

The city is under attack from an ancient alien god sent to earth to turn its inhabitants into zombies.

He's even been exiled into deep space, but Marvel this week did what Bruce Banner could never manage to do to the Hulk -- kill off the long-running character.

In the latest issue of "Civil War II," in which the superhero alliance the Avengers -- popularized by Marvel's staggeringly successful movies -- are divided into two opposing teams, Banner's comrade Hawkeye shoots the Hulk's human alter ego in the eye, killing him.

It's a mercy killing, it turns out -- Banner had given the marksman a special arrow and instructions to kill him if he looked certain to go on a rampage.
