United: Conclusion
The Hulk is in turmoil as the mental
assassin known as The Vegetable is attacking Bruce Banner in the
fortress of his mind. Outside, Hulk is fighting the Hulked-out animal
men created by Banner while the Mad Squad takes on the Doombots. One
of the Doombots halts Commander Amanda von Doom in her tracks but
suggesting that she most wants to learn if she is related to Doctor
Doom, as her name implies. Inside Hulk's brain, The Vegetable is
captured by the assembled monsters of Hulk's memories and Banner dons
a pair of mechanical Hulk hands to give him a beating. Hulk puts the
Hulk Cure in a gun and prepares to shoot the Hulked-out animals but
he can't. Likewise, Amanda von Doom hesitates to open her file....
The men of Submera (issue #9) drink the
last of their Black Mash to the Hulk's death....
The kids from Neverlab (issue #10) have
colonized a new world and drink to their hero Hulk....
The Sasquatches (issue #11) sense the
Hulk is in danger and wish him well....
The Moloids (issues #1-3) likewise know
Hulk is in trouble and he's on his own....
Banner is cornered by The Vegetable and
about to die but Hulk shoots himself with the Hulk Cure, releasing
the Hulk in his mind to take on the assassin. Amanda von Doom
destroys her file, choosing to face her own destiny. Banner, now on
the outside, shoots various animal men with the Cure as Hulk on the
inside defeats The Vegetable. And the Hulk is united, now and
forever....
Amanda aids Banner in returning the
animals to the island, and she packs up the Mad Squad to depart (also
discovering that Mr. Gor and BRAIN are lovers). Bruce and Amanda kiss
and Bruce is then clouted in the face with radioactive monkey poop;
he becomes the Hulk to chase down the Hulked-out monkey....

Return to Planet Hulk Part III
In the arena for the second round of
the Warlord's Gauntlet, Hulk (Amadeus Cho) finds himself facing a
giant fighting robot with Elder Sharn and her sons bound to its
shield.. He balks at doing anything to endanger the innocent though
Headman Bahng insists he must be ruthless to win the Gauntlet. Hulk
chops the shield arm off the robot then blasts the rest of it with
his gun. Bahng runs onto the field against the rules and is shot down
by the Warlord's guards....
Elsewhere, Lickspit is trying to bring
through the portal anyone who can defeat the Hulk, killing those who
are vulnerable to his (Lickspit's) attacks....

Back at the Clan Doka'abi camp, the
dying Bahng says his farewells, names Chak the new headman, and
advises Hulk to never hold back. Sharn reminds him that if he hadn't
held back, she and her sons would be dead. A messenger from the
Warlord arrives with a request for Chak and the Hulk to appear before
him. At a feast, Hulk declines to eat, not trusting the Warlord. The
villain wants to know why Hulk has allied himself with those
weaklings, explaining that he is the Worldbreaker because he fears
nothing. Hulk declines Chak's suggestion that he kill the Warlord and
his guards right then because he (Hulk) doesn't kill. But Hulk does
announce that he is the real Worldbreaker and if the Warlord refuses
to uphold his part of the bargain should the Hulk win the Gauntlet,
he will kill every one of them. The Warlord thinks he's bluffing and
laughs Hulk out....
For the third level of the Gauntlet,
Hulk battles and defeats a giant scorpion. The Warlord summons
Lickspit but his minion is busy, finally finding someone who might be
able to defeat Hulk.....
The fourth level has Hulk facing a
mystery opponent—then he recognizes his friend Thor Odinson, now
his enemy....

Return to Planet Hulk Part I
Story continues from  TOTALLY AWESOME HULK #23.To try to gain control over the Hulk, Amadeus Cho exiles himself to a satellite to run tests on himself. There, he receives a distress call from Sakaar, begging the Green Scar to come to their aid. He quickly takes off in a ship heading through a wormhole to Sakaar, changing into Hulk on the way. Crash landing on the planet, Hulk is immediately shot by a dart. He is facing a motley crew of wanderers riding damaged vehicles who are revealed to be the Clan Doka'abi led by Headman Bahng. Priestess Maeera explains that the dart filled him with talkbots that enable him to speak and understand the local language (well, that was convenient). They do not believe his protests that he is not the same Hulk as before and they show him that they are surrounded by the armies of the Warlord who conquered the world after the Green Scar departed. And now, if the Clan would remain free, they need a champion to fight for them in the Gauntlet. Notifying the Warlord's flunky Lickspit that they have a champion, they spend some time putting together a suit of armor made of various pieces left by dead warriors of the Clan. Maeera prays for the Worldbreaker though Amadeus doesn't like that title. And he is presented with his last meal, though he ends up giving it to some hungry children....

At sunset, Hulk enters the arena. The opening ceremony involves consecrating the battleground by beheading three true believers, to Hulk's shock. The Gauntlet begins and immediately Hulk is fighting warriors mounted on flying engines and steel-tentacled monsters which are attacking the Doka'abi spectators as well. Hulk suddenly blacks out and sees Amadeus as driving a car when the Hulk breaks out of the trunk and seizes the wheel to do what must be done. Unleashed, the ferocious Hulk becomes the Worldbreaker....

Return to Planet Hulk Part IV
In the fourth level of the Warlord's
Gauntlet, Hulk is fighting furiously against Thor Odinson while
trying to talk sense into him so that they could team up and
overthrow the Warlord. Thor, fighting savagely against his
friend-turned-opponent, reveals that he is being controlled by the
villain Lickspit by means of an Obedience Disk. Thor splits the
ground, hurling Hulk into the air and nearly swallowing up Maeera the
Priestess. She wants Hulk to release the Worldbreaker in spite of his
fears, and Thor concurs: Hulk must kill him or everyone dies. As Thor
prepares another violent attack, Amadeus enters his unconscious,
where he is driving a car with the Dark Hulk sitting in the trunk.
Hulk tells him not to be afraid as they are the same person—and
that killing Thor may be the right thing to do if it means that
millions live. Amadeus must learn that he can't save everyone and
that he can't keep his hands pure; Hulk seizes the wheel—and then
the Worldbreaker is in the arena...but it is still Amadeus in charge.
Thor brutally beats Hulk to the ground and the Warlord orders Thor to
kill him—but Hulk is only waiting and he knocks Thor across the
arena. Hulk rips the Obedience Disk off of Thor and introduces him to
his friends. The Warlord announces that he will face Hulk in the
fifth level of the Gauntlet, promising to break his world. The
villain takes Lickspit back to show him what he will use: a massive
weapon made from combined parts of American and Soviet spacecraft....

Hulk, his full power unleashed,
destroys the Warlord's killers in the Gauntlet, surviving every
deadly trick they throw at him. As the crowd cheers, Amadeus orders
the Hulk back into his subconscious and confronts the Warlord,
demanding that his people be set free. The Warlord informs him that
there are five levels to the Gauntlet and orders Hulk and his clan to
depart, on pain of death. They return to their pen, exulting in the
unexpected victory....
The Warlord questions his people about
the Hulk and Lickspit shows him the portal that appeared in the sky
just before the visitor arrived. Warlord orders him to find out what
is on the other side. Lickspit meets the man who controls the portal
and asks him to send another signal, hoping to contact the Hulk's
enemies....
That night, Priestess Maeera tells Hulk
that she knows about his fear of his dual nature and warns him that
unless he gives the battle all it requires, they will all die. The
clan is visited by Elder Sharn, leader of the Desert Sea Clan. Their
champion had been defeated by the Warlord's fighters and they were
absorbed into the villain's army but now, Sharn offers them seven
charged fuel cells to power a blaster, hoping that that will help
them win the fight. But there is a spy in their midst, summoned back
to the citadel to give his report....
The next morning, Hulk appears in the
arena for the second round of the Gauntlet. His clan promises to
fight to the death should Hulk lose. His opponent enters the
ring...it is a giant fighting robot with Elder Sharn and her sons
bound to its shield....

The Dark Hulk has taken control,
pushing Amadeus Cho deep into the subconscious and the Green Giant
faces a small set of heroes including Spider-Man, Ms Marvel,
Sasquatch, and Amadeus' sister Maggie Cho—and they are soon joined
by Captain Marvel and Silk. With a thunderclap, Hulk scatters the
assembled heroes and notifies the occupants of the building they are
atop to evacuate. Captain Marvel appeals to Hulk to surrender but he
still holds a grudge over what happened to Bruce Banner. He also
brings charges against Sasquatch, Black Panther and Jimmy Woo who are
listening in, and his fellow champions. And then Amadeus again
signals Maggie from inside the huge green body but this time Hulk
knows what is going on and puts a stop to it. But this was a
distraction for a satellite to blast Hulk, degammafying him; instead
Hulk jumps straight up and wrecks the satellite. He then sends a
message to all the other heroes that he is in charge—but Thor has
arrived to take him on. Again it's another distraction for T'Challa
and Woo to fire upon the Hulk. Hulk decides to solve his biggest
problem—by hurling Amadeus off a cliff....

Return to Planet Hulk Part V
The evening before the final level of the Gauntlet, Hulk (Amadeus Cho) is repairing some Earth technology to aid the Doka'abi with agricultural matters—and it even plays Pac-Man. The injured Odinson suggests Hulk should be preparing for the coming battle. If Hulk falls, an alliance of tribes will fight for their freedom against the odds. Priestess Maeera advises Amadeus to let out the Worldbreaker he has within, and to abandon his ideal of never having killed....

The next day, the battle is to be held in the Valley of Hell, with the Warlord's troops ready to massacre the clan should Hulk fall. The Warlord arrives, wearing armor that enables him to fly and fire deadly blasts from his hands. He launches two tracking missiles at Hulk and Hulk leads them back to the Warlord where they explode. Hulk demands his opponent's surrender; Warlord knows that Hulk will not kill him so he promises that he will return and kill all of Hulk's people. In Amadeus' subconscious, the savage Hulk tells him that he must kill the Warlord in order to save the world; Amadeus insists there must be another way. Warlord launches the nuclear missile he has been holding in reserve. Savage Hulk shames Amadeus into letting him take control and he does. The Worldbreaker is loose and he absorbs all of the deadly radiation from the nuke, saving everyone's lives. Warlord, critically injured, is still voicing threats so Hulk's ally Chak skewers him with a spear....

One month later, Hulk and Thor have built a fortified city for the Doka'abi and their allies; Maeera suggest that the two Earth heroes leave before the World breaker lives up to his name. As Hulk and Thor are flying back to Earth in a ship, Thor advises Hulk to ignore Maeera's last words, as Hulk did what he had to and everything turned out fine. Hulk similes...because he knows that the raging monster is in control now with Amadeus locked away in the trunk....

World War Hulk II
Returning from Sakaar, Hulk (Amadeus
Cho) crash-lands his ship in Central Park; Thor Odinson makes his
farewells and goes off in search of mead. Amadeus' sister Maddie Cho
arrives on a flying disc and explains how everyone was worried about
him since he disappeared. Amadeus explains that he has learned how to
deal with his dark side (the Hulk in the trunk) by applying his
intellect to difficult situations. Maddie notes that he is still in
his Hulk form; Amadeus thinks that is who he is and goes to take a
nap, the Amadeus locked in the trunk crying for help....
Later, there is a bridge collapsing on
Staten Island; Spider-Man (Miles Morales) is trying desperately to
hold it together with webbing. Hulk arrives, to everyone's horror,
and offers to help. By calculating all of the engineering factors,
Hulk makes four blows of varying severity and, having knocked out the
damaged bits, the bridge is in no further danger. He is cheered as a
hero...and then an alert comes in....
Phalkan of Seknarf Seven escapes from
the prison satellite and steals a ship; Hulk contacts him and warns
him to go back; the villain threatens to eat everyone in revenge.
Jimmy Woo contacts Hulk but Amadeus is already assembling the
Protectors. Ms Marvel (Kamala Khan) arrives too and everyone is
surprised when Phalkan steps through a wormhole—Amadeus reveals
that he gave the villain his location, and also called the news media
to cover the epic battle. After a few preliminary punches, the
Totally Awesome Hulk applies his strength to hurting Phalkan where it
will cause the most damage and then the fight is over. Hulk's
friends, watching from all over the world (including Black Panther in
Wakanda), are shocked at this uncharacteristic behavior from Amadeus
Cho. He challenges his enemies, saying “I'm coming for you...every
last one!” And Amadeus, locked in the trunk cries, “Nooooooo!”

The crowd in Times Square watches the
Hulk's challenge to his enemies on television; one of them is
Wolverine, who says, “No way this ends well.”

World War Hulk II, Part II
The Dark Hulk takes delight in
tormenting the defeated Prince Phalkan and boasting about it.
Amadeus' sister Maddie Cho is in contact with Black Panther and Atlas
Director Jimmy Woo and they want her data on Amadeus Hulk; she
doesn't trust them and prefers to confront her brother herself. She
races to the scene on a levitating disc while elsewhere Spider-Man
(M. Morales) and Ms. Marvel (K. Khan) learn of the situation and hurry
over. Hulk is attacked by Phalkan's guards and uses his captive as a
shield. Maddie tries appealing to Amadeus buried deep in the Hulk's
psyche (displayed as Amadeus locked in the trunk of the car Hulk is
driving). An alien guard shoots Hulk in the head, allowing Amadeus to
escape from the trunk and run off. Hulk caches him, threatening to
kill him but Amadeus reminds him that they are both part of the same
person—which causes Hulk to freeze up under the attacks of the
guards; Maddie's attempts at distracting the guards leads to her
being in peril. Hulk makes a deal with Amadeus to let him have his
way in exchange for rescuing his sister. Hulk tries to persuade
Maddie that he is still Amadeus in control but Amadeus, back in the
trunk, is able to send signals via a throbbing vein in Hulk's neck,
telling her what to do. Sasquatch and Alpha Flight arrive to pick up
Phalkan but Hulk refuses to turn him over. Ms Marvel and Spidey
arrive and try to convince Hulk to follow the law as Alpha Flight are
the legal authorities and Hulk still refuses. Maddie, using the
formula for gammas blockers that Amadeus had sent her in Morse Code,
blasts the Hulk causing him to start to transform back into
Amadeus—but he quickly recovers, smashes Maddie's gun, and sets
himself to fight his friends....

World War Hulk II Part IV
The Dark Hulk is on a rampage in
Central Park. Jimmy Woo fires adamantium shells at Hulk, piercing his
skin while Black Panther deploys nanobots to break down the ones in
Hulk and allow Amadeus to take control of his body once more. Inside
the Hulk's mind, Amadeus stops falling and is able to fly up to Hulk
and confront him but this only makes Hulk madder—both in his mind
and in reality. Ms Marvel, Spider-Man (M. Morales), and Silk try to
restrain him, Sasquatch, Thor, and Captain Marvel try to overpower
him but he only throws them all off. Within, Amadeus redirects the
nanobots to destroy those in Hulk's brain, ending the green guy's
existence—but it doesn't work. In reality, Hulk is still Amadeus
and Amadeus is still Hulk; if he “destroys” Hulk he will lose all
his resentment, guilt, and anger, which he once channeled into being
a hero as Hulk so Amadeus wisely absorbs the Hulk—everything he
hates about himself—and becomes a single person once more, a
leaner, nicer Totally Awesome Hulk. He allows himself to be taken
away in handcuffs....
Three months after, after his trial,
his lawyer Matt Murdock explains that he has to pay $10 billion in
rebuilding costs and Olympus Group will be liquidated but Amadeus is
free. Leaving the courthouse, he is met by Maddy, the Champions,
Black Panther, and Thor Odinson. He tries to apologize for everything
but instead they all go out to eat....

Lament for a Fallen Crown Part Two
3600 years ago,
Enkidu, the proto-Hulk, arrived in Nineveh and encountered a massive giant
slave driver. Enkidu beats the much larger monster to death and frees the
slaves. He enters the temple where the Child-God Eldest reigns. She asks about
the green fire in his flesh and she announces he belongs to her, gift of her
Mother, who is imprisoned beneath the Earth and she recognizes the power of the
green door. A magical battle ends with Eldest taking on Enkidu’s body. She
opens the gate to the underworld but a voice informs her that her mother’s
sentence is not yet ended, unleashing a holocaust of green flame. The heat
drives Eldest out of Enkidu’s body and he tears her in half and forces her face
into the fire before they are both consumed. The monsters fled in fear of the
One Below All and humans reclaimed the city….
In her lavish
Las Vegas apartment, the current incarnation of the Eldest concludes her story

In the migrant
worker camp, Hulk comes under fire from the new Ghost Rider who has detected a
threat and trying to protect the little boy Leo. And the real monster, Dagaal,
watches from close by. Charlie begs the kid to stop GR but the boy doesn’t
control the undead vigilante. Then she points out that since Hulk isn’t the
danger, there is a more immediate threat at hand. Then Dagaal is spotted and
the workers go for their rifles. Hulk smashes Ghost Rider’s flaming motorcycle
but it reassembles itself—then they hear the gunfire. Dagaal attacks a man but
Charlie hits at it with a tire iron; it turns on her but GR grabs it by the
head and drags it several yards away. Hulk demands of it to know where to find
Eldest; Dagaal attacks Hulk so he seizes the monster and smashes it into the
ground then he tosses the monster’s masklike head to Ghost Rider and warns him
not to shoot at him (Hulk) again. Charlie tells GR that his Harley is bad@$$;
GR asks for a cigarette but she doesn’t have any—and then he vanishes, his bike
returning to its spot in the yard….
The following
evening, at a meeting of local veterans, the old soldiers sit around, reminiscing
about Harold, who died of a stroke. [Harold was the guy possessed by the Dagaal
we saw last issue.] And we learn that they are all possessed by a black sludge-like
creature and it is angry that humans killed Harold and not it so it will be
seeking revenge as a horse-like form rises from the sludge….
Hulk and Charlie
are sitting around the campfire with the residents of the migrant camp. Charlie
says this is how she had always pictured going on adventures with a hero
(specifically Captain America) and asks Hulk if they can stay. Hulk says no and
she mimics him—and he imagines crushing her into a pulp and it surprises him. Charlie
asks about Banner and Hulk imagines him locked away inside a monster’s skeleton.
Then others notice Hulk’s eyes are going black. He orders everyone to run
before striking out at the campfire. Charlie realizes he has been infected by
the monster he fought earlier. And then a band of demonic warriors arrive on

City of Idols Part Two
Once Bruce Banner
signed the Pactum Aeternus, giving Hulk to Eldest, Charlie Tidwell was transferred
from a decaying forest to a nice hotel room where a trio of lycanthropes inform
her she is in Las Vegas, alive and well, even losing the scar she bore. But
they warn he not to leave the room or she will die….
Hulk is now
chained up in a cave far below Vegas, with Eldest, in her human form, telling
him that the Mother of Horrors is on the cusp of victory. She taps his chest
and a blast of energy hurls her across the room to crash into a wall,
dismembering a monster as she cuts through him. She threatens Hulk with a snarl….
Charlie tries
to find a way out of the room, unaware she is being guarded by a monster called
Teelget….
Hulk sees
Banner’s reflection in a steam, mocking him in his helplessness. Hulk reacts,
bringing down part of the ceiling. He is approached by Katie, one of the two
girls trapped by the Lycanthropes last issue. She asks him for help, peeling
off her upper layer of skin to reveal her mutated form. Her bargain: if she
helps Hulk escape, will he kill them all for her? Katie flees when she hears Eldest
coming. Eldest reveals to Hulk that once she has gotten what she wanted from
him, Charlie will be given to Teelget to use as he wishes. She then causes
Banner to extend from Hulk’s body who offer to tell her what she wants to know
if Charlie goes free. Hulk rips this Banner out of himself; Eldest blasts him….
Katie returns
to the hotel room and frees Charlie and takes her through the ornate caves
beneath Vegas. Kaie point Charlie in the direction of the exit but she refuses
to go without Hulk. As they argue, they are spotted by two lycanthropes so
Katie assumes her werewolf form to delay them while Charlie escapes. The wolves
pursue her to the Lycan temple where she hides beneath the throne, the monsters
close behind her. She prays, “God help me. Help me finally be strong….”

The Old Time Religion Part Two
As Bruce Banner
is sacrificed at the Red Creek church, he transforms into the Hulk and tears
the place apart, smashing the undead congregants. As the place collapses, Hulk
grabs Charlie and carries her to safety, dropping her outside. She asks to
accompany Hulk and tells him of her desire to be strong. Hulk tells her she is
weak, afraid, and puny, like Banner. She screams at his departing figure then
the entire mine beneath the church caves in, dropping Charlie into the pit.
Hulk leaps in, grabs her, and cushions her fall with his body. The church
leader, Sister Sarah, points out the drawings on the wall, telling the story of
Brother Deep, whose voice is heard at the church as he lies imprisoned beneath.
Brother Deep rises, a multi-eyed, clawed, and tentacled monster. It attacks
Hulk and the hero kills it, stabbing at it repeatedly with a spear torn off of
a wooden structure. The creature dead, Hulk tears his way back to the surface
and walks away. Charlie pursues him but is grabbed by the zombie sheriff; she
kicks him in the head until he’s destroyed. So Hulk permits Charlie to join
him, warning her not to trust or help Banner because in that case, he’d dump
her. She says, “It’s really true, huh? There really are two of you in there.”
Hulk responds, “Not much longer….”
Issue concludes
with a text article, “The Remembrances of Eldest Udru, ‘Brother Deep,’” a
summary of the origin of the mother of Monsters, her rebellion against the One
Above All, and the creation and imprisonment of Brother Deep, setting up this
story arc. This is presumable the long version of the story told by the
drawings on the mine wall.

that resembles her father tells her Brother Deep is calling for her because she
is with the Fractured Son (Hulk). She responds that she has already defeated
him as she is the strongest one there is….
Bruce dreams
that he is trapped in the ribcage of a dead giant crow. He falls out into a
river and Hulk, vowing revenge, reminds him that soon, Hulk will be all that’s
left of Banner….
The local
sheriff finds Bruce and Charlie hiding under the bridge and warns them that it’s
dangerous out there. He offers to give them a ride to a safer place, ready to
persuade them at gunpoint if necessary. They get into his car and he announces
he is taking them to Red Creek and we realize the sheriff is also one of the
walking dead….
The church at
Red Creek is having a revival meeting, full of corpses, led by Sister Sadie,
singing the praises of Brother Deep. Brother Deep’s been resurrected by the
Eldest and the church is called on to dig to free Brother Deep and restore to
him the kingdom he had before the time of man. The sheriff arrives with Bruce
and Charlie and presents them as the offering. As Bruce is put on the sacrificial
table, he sees the Hulk reflected in the big knife, refusing to help him. Bruce
is held still and the knife plunged into his chest. Then his blood turns green
and he transforms into the Hulk….

Age of Monsters
One year ago, a
band of robbers entered a newly discovered tomb in Iraq, only hours before a university
team was to arrive. They discover a huge headless monster on a throne, with mummies
at its feet. As they look around for valuables to steal, Trudy, a female member
of the team, picks up a small skull and is possessed by a spirit. A huge monster,
crocodile jaws and huge claws, bursts through her skin and slaughters the
others. It then addresses the mummies, promising to free them now that the
Green Door is shut….
Bruce Banner
shows up at a Kentucky diner, ordering sandwiches to go. He stops to feed a
fellow patron’s dog. Then the waitress speaks to him in Hulk’s voice, “Warned
you, Banner. Should have stayed away.” Terrified, he flees the diner for the
woods nearby, pursued by the voice of the Hulk///
///then he wakes
in the woods, dressed only in tattered pants, with a dead dog by his side. He
pops a dislocated shoulder back into place and sees police and emergency
vehicles at the diner, wrecked, with the words “Your fault” written on the wall
as the lady’s dog sits alone, barking at him….
A teen girl
called Charlie sneaks out of her home past her drunken father and tries to put
the car into working condition so she can run away from home but her dad
catches her and she dashes into the woods….
An FBI team convenes
at the diner, suspecting the Hulk and taking all cautionary measures. Another
group, the family of monsters in human form led by the Eldest (resembling Trudy
from the prologue), also arrives to search for Hulk. One of them asks Eldest for
permission to feed. It is granted and the monster bursts through its human skin
and heads out….
Charlie’s dad
in the car catches up to her on the road. She dashes to the side and the car
hits a tree just as, mere yards away, the FBI team has caught up with Bruce and
has him trapped in a force field. Bruce tries to explain that Hulk is now his
enemy, bitter about being trapped in Bruce’s psyche to power Starship Hulk—and then
Hulk bursts out, clobbers the Agents, telling them “Leave me alone,” before stomping
off into the woods. Charlie’s dad drags himself out of the wreckage and years of
pent-up anger over abuse she has suffered lead to Charlie beating and kicking
the injured man, screaming “Leave me alone!” She walks away and the monster
seen earlier drops from the trees and feasts on the man’s body, taking his form.
The rest of the family arrives and he is able to tell them where the Fractured
Son, the one called Hulk, has gone. Eldest is glad the vessel (Bruce) wants to
be free of the godflesh. It is then revealed that a mind-controlled Betty Ross  Banner is with them, called a child of the Mother of Horrors. The Eldest then
calls on all the monsters of the world, to seek out the Fractured One,
mentioning that his flesh is the key to freeing the Mother of Horrors, issuing
the Age of Monsters….

Frozen Charlotte Part Three
Searching for
the missing Charlie, Hulk is now fighting the ghastly Frozen Charlotte (real
name: Nephele, Mother of Angels) in the underground cathedral. She claims to be
protecting Charlie from the dark forces of the human world, which includes
keeping her away from Hulk. She explains that she is the chosen consort of
Lucifer, promised she would be mother to all the angels but Lucifer fell and
Nephele was exiled to Earth. Eventually, seeing that there were many innocents
around, she began collecting them, putting them in the little porcelain dolls,
and hiding them from the world. Hulk rains brutal blows on her until she is a crumpled
heap on the floor. But then she rises, with a halo and massive wings, and spits
fire at Hulk. He again beats her, breaking her neck. Then Lucifer arrives to
take her home, having found her because of Hulk. He promises that Hulk will
never see either of them again. Hulk enters the room Charlie has been calling
from and he finds her trapped in a tiny porcelain Frozen Charlotte doll….

City of Idols Part One
Two teen girls,
Becky and Katie, stand atop a building in Las Vegas, contemplating jumping. A
stranger approaches and stops them; he asks why they are there. The girls
explain that a man promised to put them in a movie and that was a lie. Promising
to give them what they came for, the stranger invites them to a dark cavern beneath
the city where they find more people and an elaborate throne with a wolf’s head
over it. Becky is invited to sit on the throne…and then the wolf bites her head
off, making her the new idol of the House of Lycana. The others turn into
werewolves and attack Katie….
Hulk arrives in
Las Vegas. Crowds stand back and marvel while nervous police try to keep him
calm while asking him to leave. The top of the pyramid glows and Hulk leaps off
to it; a walking corpse directs him to the special entrance to where “she”
awaits, behind the Sphinx….
In a red limbo,
Bruce Banner speaks with the imaginary Betty Ross in his head; he is afraid for
Charlie, her soul encased in a porcelain doll. Betty tells him the time has
come when he must choose between Charlie and the Hulk….
Hulk descends into
the Earth to a cavern where he is greeted by Eldest, in the guise of an ordinary
red-haired woman. She invites him in, calling the place a temple of Lycana. She
relates how they first met thousands of years ago and how they died together. Hulk
puts down the doll and attacks Eldest who stands unmoved by Hulk’s blows. She
gives him a glimpse of her true form, a massive horned and winged demon,
holding Hulk in the palm of her hand, before resuming her present guise. She
informs Hulk that Charlie will be rescued…by handing her over to the House of
Lycana who will make her one of their own. Bruce shouts to the Hulk to stop
them. Eldest offers Hulk the choice: Charlie to the werewolves or himself to
her. And she begins shooting stalactites through him. Betty speaks to Bruce,
holding out a Pactum Aeternus to him, telling him to betray Hulk so Charlie can
be saved. Bruce signs the document, “In exchange for the restored body and soul
of Charlene Tidwell, I forever surrender my flesh to Eldest.” A magical chain encircles
Hulk’s neck, pinning him to the ground as Eldest gloats, “I have him, Mother,
you’ll soon be free and the world set to rights….”

Lament for a Fallen Crown Part One
The Eldest is
in her lavish home in Las Vegas when a monster servant asks to see into her
magic pool. She declines but describes what she sees: the Hulk, seeking to
restore Charlie’s soul to her body. But Eldest recalls an older, similar story…
In Ancient Assyria,
an old beggar comes to a town full of corpses, some crucified. He hears sounds
of violence in a nearby cave and goes to investigate. There he meets a gigantic
warrior and two monstrous henchmen taking prisoners to work in the Child God’s
mines. They spot the beggar and try to seize him; the beggar explains that he
did a favor for an old witch who granted him a boon: he asked for a place where
he could die in peace. The witch directed him to the Fallen City of Nineveh, a
city overthrown by monsters where he can die. The beggar transforms into
Enkidu, the First Hulk, who notes that the old witch lied: it is a place
overrun by monsters but he doesn’t see anything that can kill him. And he
proceeds to tear the monsters apart. The people he rescued tell him of the
monsters and the Child God they follow. One of the people calls the Child God “Just
as much a monster as y…” nearly calling Enkidu a monster. They recognize him as
Enkidu and wonder whether he really came there to die. A child plays at being
Enkidu and says, “Enkidu smash!” Enkidu tells them to flee as the land will not
be safe after tomorrow….
The next day,
the mortally wounded henchman Charruk drags himself to the palace and tells the
Child God of the stranger who takes the former of a beggar and glows with the
light of the Green Door. She (called “Eldest”) immolates him with a touch and
her servant wonders if this stranger could be their enemy, the One Below All.
She responds that the One Below All does not walk the Earth but considers
whether this creature has the power to free the Mother of Horrors….

Frozen Charlotte Part Two
Hulk drops into
the middle of a parade on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, looking for Charlie…
…who is being
pursued by the monster Frozen Charlotte down into the space below her shop
which looks increasingly like a mansion, a dungeon, and a cathedral. Then she
is cornered by the monster, an old woman with ghastly elongated limbs and a
veil covering her decayed face, wanting to add Charlie to her collection….
As Hulk wanders
the city, he encounters Private Inspector Francis Bergeron of the Pinkerton
Detective Agency who promises to enlist the militiamen to search for Charlie. Hulk
knows Bergeron is a ghost which the fellow refuses to believe. He takes Hulk
back to the first murder he was dispatched to solve…in 1873. Then another a few
weeks later then they started accumulating over the years. On a hunch, Bergeron
had several bodies in the cemetery exhumed and discovered the same MO,
indicating the killer had been active for decades or perhaps a century. Then
the killer was sighted, a creature with some strange qualities. It escaped but
left behind a Frozen Charlotte doll that resembled the victim, so that name was
used to refer to the killer. After that the case was quietly closed and the
killer was said to have been captured; not long after this, Inspector Francis
Bergeron vanished, a victim of Frozen Charlotte….
Hulk wants to
know where Charlie is. Bergeron sifts through his memories and directs Hulk to
the old lady’s shop. He walks through the building, down into its catacombs
where he discovers a huge number of Frozen Charlotte dolls, each pleading for
help. He also discovers the monster, calling herself Nephele, Mother of Angels,
refusing to give back even one of her angels—and then she attacks….

In New Orleans,
a young couple heads home from a street celebration. The girl spies an old
woman in front of her antiques shop and yells at her to go home; the boy
apologizes. When they enter an alley, they are confronted by the old lady, who
tells the young man he deserves better than this tallow-faced trollop. The
young woman bristles and suddenly she is sliced diagonally into five pieces and

Charlie asks why all the graves are above ground. Bruce explains the water
table and the absence of basements in the city. Then he starts to turn into the
Hulk; he hands Charlie cash and directions to a hostel and dashes off. As his
body distorts in gruesome ways, his wife Betty Ross appears, advising him to
give Hulk to the Eldest and they will both have new bodies. She also remarks on
how Charlie has an undue influence on him, adding that she is no longer a concern.

for help. Then the old lady, her body elongated, her eyes glowing, with the cop’s
severed head in one hand, assures her she will be safe among all her little
angels….

Doctor Voodoo and the Soul Cage Part Two
Bruce Banner has
been sent into the Soul Cage by Doctor Voodoo where he encounters Hulk who
wants to kill him for trying over the years to kill Hulk under guise of a cure.
They are interrupted by a man hanging upside down with a trio of little demons
gnawing at his midsection. The figure tells them not to seek Sumanguru and then
its legs break off, sending the man plunging into the abyss. The three demons then
attack Bruce who falls into a giant nest where he is menaced by a huge monster
bird. Bruce finds a sword in the straw and bisects a demon; Hulk intervenes and
subdues the bird. Bruce accuses Hulk of getting Charlie killed and tells him
they will settle their accounts but only after they rescue Charlie….
They fly the bird
to an ornately carved cave; the bird is then killed by a monster bat and they
enter. The voice of Sumanguru the Flesh-Weaver challenges them. They are soon
surrounded by an army of grotesque monsters, each a vessel of Sumanguru. Bruce
asks him to create a body for Charlie’s soul trapped in a porcelain body. Sumanguru
refuses as they are allied with Jericho Drumm and attacks. Hulk fights off the
monsters while Bruce hurls a torch at the roof to see the real Sumanguru, a
giant combination of man and spider. He attacks in his true form and Hulk
easily defeats him. The vanquished villain explains that he could create a new
body for Charlie but could not bind her soul to it. He gives them cryptic
directions to what they seek, “In the deserts of the West, find a paradise of
sin” where they will find the “pelt of a bestial god” which holds the power
they seek. The creature then slashes Hulk’s chest and a drop of green blood
forms an entire new Hulk. Bruce calls out to Doctor Voodoo who removes the nail
from the Soul Cage and Bruce emerges, with a wound across his chest….
Later, Bruce
thanks Dr. Voodoo for his help and he sets out for the “paradise of sin,” Las
Vegas….

Moon over Mayhem
Leaving a coffee shop, Johnny Storm comes upon a bank robbery.
Turning into the Human Torch, he quickly apprehends the crooks and turns them
over to the police. Still as the Torch, he flies into a window of the Baxter
Building and ruins an experiment by Reed Richards. Reed scolds Johnny, telling
him to use his common sense to see how everything works together….
At the Experimental Energy Labs (Exel), scientist Taylor
Linnik is about to reach a breakthrough, he inexplicably shuts out his
wife/collaborator Cassie Linnik, who is distraught. The reason? He is secretly
working with the Wizard to perfect his Magnetic Energy Converter which will
harness the magnetic force of the moon, converting it into cheap, clean energy,
which the Wizard will take credit for….
Coincidentally, Bruce Banner is sitting in a diner not far away,
reading about Magnetic Energy Conversion and he knows Cassie Linnik; the
proprietor is angry that Bruce is reading but not ordering anything so he
throws him out of the door. This triggers Bruce’s transformation into the Hulk
and he wrecks the diner; the proprietor calls the police, who have to witness
Hulk throwing their car into the diner, destroying everything. Hulk leaps away
into he woods where he falls asleep and reverts to Bruce Banner….
Johnny Storm arrives at Exel; the Wizard, spotting him, accuses
Linnik of having betrayed him to the Fantastic Four but, no, Johnny was sent by
Reed to examine their new prototype gyroscope. The lead scientist is
disappointed and insulted that Reed Richards did not come himself but Johnny
surprises him by demonstrating quite a bit of scientific knowledge. Cassie
makes a final appeal to Linnik and he continues to brush her off so she tells
him she is leaving him….
Bruce Banner arrives at Exel, wanting to see Cassie Linnik
but the guard denies him entry. Cassie comes out and Bruce calls to her but the
guard shoves him and Bruce hits the electric fence which again causes Bruce to
become the Hulk. Cassie, who knows about Bruce’s plight, tries to calm Hulk but
the guard shoots at him, further enraging the Green Giant. An alarm goes off;
Taylor Linnik sees Cassie in danger and rushes to her. Johnny likewise but when
he flames on, the sprinkler system engages and his fire is doused. Outside,
Cassie again calms the Hulk but a newly dried Johnny turns into the Human Torch
and attacks Hulk. Hulk claps his hands, blowing out the Torch while the others
yell at Johnny that Cassie had the situation under control. Meanwhile, inside
the building, Wizard activates the Magnetic Energy Converter which massively
increases all of his powers. Outside, Torch burns up all the oxygen around
Hulk’s head, causing him to pass out and return to his Banner form. Wizard
gloats over Johnny a while, then shuts down his flames, taking off for some
unspecified mayhem. Johnny flames on and tries to destroy the Converter but
Wizard had shielded it. Johnny’s next plan is to attack Bruce Banner, forcing a
change to the Hulk; Torch then generates images of himself, drawing the Hulk to
the Converter and smashing it. The feedback reverses the polarity of the Wizard’s
suit, causing him to soar beyond the stratosphere. Torch tries to rescue him
but passing into space extinguishes his flame. He plummets to Earth and Hulk
catches him. Hulk leaps off while everyone else ponders the lessons learned.

Body Double
The issue opens with Doctor Bruce Banner having just stole access to Doc Samson's newly rebuilt Nutrient bath located deep in the bowels of Gamma Base. The nutrient bath had originally been built to cure Banner of becoming the Hulk. He must now try to recreate the experiment before sunset when he will once again change into the new grey Hulk who will most assuredly try to escape and take Banner further from any possible cure. Rick Jones comes along to see how Banner is doing and Banner pops some tranquilizers to stave off the imminent change. Meanwhile Clay Quartermain and SHIELD are out in the desert where a huge meteorite has just crash landed. Yet to their astonishment a great green hand rises from the smoldering hole. "It's the Hulk!" one SHIELD agent exclaims only to witness, as the smoke clears that it is in fact the Abomination just returned from outer space! The Abomination engages in a short altercation with the under prepared SHIELD agents and takes off toward Gamma Base. Meanwhile back at Gamma Base Betty Ross-Banner has shown up to exchange some dramatic words with Banner while Rick tries to make himself scarce. When the Abomination shows up he takes Betty to the basement and comes back to tell Banner that Banner must use the nutrient bath on him because in actuality he is not Emil Blonsky (the Soviet double agent who was originally mutated into the Abomination) but in fact the evil subterranean Warlord Tyrannus (who had plagued the Hulk previously and was thought to be dead). Well in fact in deep space somehow Tyrannus essence combined with the inert suspended body of the Abomination (which had been left in outer space previously). So now Tyrannus wants to free himself of the hideousness of the Abomination using the Nutrient bath the same way Banner had intended to for himself! If Banner doesnt comply with Abomination demands then he will kill Betty Ross-Banner! This is all way too much for frail Doc Banner's nerves to handle and so sure enough despite the tranquilizers and the daylight Banner transforms into his titanic grey alter ego the Incredible Hulk! The Hulk squares off with the Abomination but doesn't realize that as the gray incarnation he doesn't quite have the same oomph behind his punches and as the battle wears on Abomination comes to realize that this Hulk isn't even within the ballpark of matching his strength. He vanquishes the Hulk knocking him out with a mighty blow. Having lost consciousness, the Hulk reverts back to Banner to find that Abomination has rested control of the Nutrient Bath from him and warns Banner that Betty has only moments to live. The Abomination takes the Nutrient Bath and comes out holding Emil Blonsky's body! Eventually, Banner turns into the Hulk but this time, defeats the Abomination. SHIELD locks the Abomination and takes Emil Blonsky as prisoner, while Banner saves Betty from her imprisonment.

Story Time
A large man saves a woman named Sandy from a group of "nasty types" in Central Park. She is not pleased. Sandy has been hanging out every night for the last couple weeks in the park hoping to get attacked. She tells the large man (she doesn't know who he is yet - he's disguised) her story. She relates how she went to Scotland with her fiance, Jack. In Scotland he was senselessly killed (by Madman) during a fight between Madman, Piecemeal, and the Hulk. Ever since losing Jack, she has no hope, feels his death is her fault, and has been seeking punishment. The large man takes her down underground to his home and reveals himself to be the Abomination. He tells Sandy and the people who live there a fairytale story of his own origins. Sandy has fallen asleep during the telling. A couple cops wake her up in Central Park. She thinks it was all a dream. She finds a note in her pocket from the Abomination inviting her to the underground for story time on any full moon. The whole experience has given her a new outlook. She can go on living.

Amazing Grace
Bruce Banner sits at a large telescope inspecting the stars and contemplating how he now has his mind in the body of the Hulk. The Gamma Scope, designed to detect gamma radiation in space, detects a green beam from which a green skinned female descends. She is pursued by a large white spaceship populated by red skinned soldiers with their faces covered and energy staffs. Banner turns into the Hulk in order to aid the girl but is apprehended with her by a red beam from the spaceship. The ship returns to its planet, called Cygnet VII. As it descends it is heralded by a large throng of red skinned people, who call the ship the Cathedral Ship and the soldiers Prophet-Priests. The Hulk and the green female are prisoners being exposed to the abuse of the crowd. She tells the Hulk that she is a priestess named K'rel and that her green race is subject to religious persecution by the the reds and that her religion talks of a champion who will save her people. The pair are then taken briefly before 3 high priests of the red skinned race who have the Hulk knocked out and brought to prison, where the Hulk quickly breaks the bars before being subdued once again. The Hulk and K'rel are transported to a gladiator arena where they first must fight some red Prophet Priests and then a pack of beasts called Draggoths, (think a cross between a lion and a brown dog). The Hulk defeats them quickly and is herded to a torture chamber and put on the laser rack. He withstands the torture for a bit and breaks free, destroying the machine in the process. He breaks into the jail freeing the green skinned prisoners. The red Prophet Priests and the greens begin to fight when the Hulk takes apart a giant pillar and first rams, then swats the oncoming horde of reds. The Hulk leads the greens to the palace of the reds where they confront the leader of the reds. The Hulk defeats him easily and liberates his new green skinned friends. The Hulk is a hero and is given a large spaceship to return to Earth. As he leaves he admonishes K'rel to teach her people mercy towards the reds. Upon returning to Earth, the Hulk uses the telescope to view Cygnet VII. He finds that the roles have reversed: The Reds are now being tortured and slaughtered by the Greens. The Hulk weeps as the story closes.

Lifeform Pt. : Quality Of Mercy
Note: Continued from Daredevil Annual #6 The story opens with a normal George Prufrock (the host of the Lifeform virus) talking to an unidentified audience off-panel. He begins to describe his recent encounter with the Hulk. In a rundown part of New York, the alien Mercy appears and learns a lesson in human behavior. After she pushes a depressed man wishing to die in front of a moving truck, she learns from a homeless woman that people don't always say what they mean. We return to George and learn that he became infected with the Lifeform virus while breaking into Programma (the company that developed the Lifeform virus). He briefly describes his encounters with the Punisher and Daredevil, both of which were unable to stop him. Despite their efforts to destroy the Lifeform, it always reformed. Mercy appears after his fight with Daredevil and decides to bring George/Lifeform, who is begging for death, to the Hulk so they can figure out what to do. She teleports them both to the desert to find the Hulk inside an abandoned theater. He, in an unusually good mood, is re-enacting a scene from "Young Frankenstein". She decides that the Hulk and Lifeform should talk to "help each other". The Hulk disagrees but Mercy has another idea. We then switch to Ben Urich interviewing the last victim of the Lifeform, Lamar Kwait, in his hospital room. He was injured when he was caught in the middle of the Daredevil/Lifeform battle. We learn that he, too, was infected by the same virus as George and wanted to capture it in order to find a cure for himself. We return to the Lifeform, the Hulk and Banner. "Hulk" and "Banner" quickly realize that one of them is fake (although neither can tell which). Almost by default they take opposing sides in the Lifeform's moral dilemma: At what point is there no hope? Eventually the Lifeform's hunger becomes unbearable and he lunges for "Banner". Not willing to take a chance that "Banner" is real, "Hulk" pounds the Lifeform into an unidentifiable slimy stain on the stage floor. When they try to leave the Lifeform quickly reforms, grabs "Banner", and throws him into the overhead lights, electrocuting him. Sparks from the lights make their way down the curtains and set them ablaze. "Hulk" begins to panic at the thought that "Banner" is dead and punches the Lifeform into one of the fires. As it is consumed by the flames, it thanks "Hulk" for his assistance. Then "Hulk" is forced to leave because the entire building is on fire. Mercy meets up with him outside and discloses that the Hulk is real and "Banner" was a double she made to allow the three of them to talk. Hulk confronts her about her therapy session. She asks him, "Don't you believe in perseverance in the face of a hopeless cause?" "No. If it's hopeless, what's the point?" he answers flatly. She replies, "If Banner believed that he'd have killed you both long ago." We return to George, now completely transformed into the Lifeform creature, who tells his off-panel audience that Mercy found him and restored his humanity. Despite his pleas, she wouldn't kill him. She teleported him back to New York and left. With the virus taking over, he informs his audience that he wants his last act as a human to be one of mercy, since none was shown to him. He walks over to Lamar's hospital bed and we see that he is deteriorating rapidly. He tells Lamar that he will help him. Lamar thanks him as his left arm is raised to the Lifeform's mouth.

The Weakness Of The Flesh!
The Hulk is captured by three individuals: Hubert St. Johns, Dr. Nancy Kelloway, and Professor Daniel Kortz. They draw blood from the Hulk to use it on Hubert. Kelloway becomes upset with the poor treatment of the Hulk. So Kortz decides to distance her away from the project. While the Hulk is under the effects of a powerful gas, Kortz and Hubert subject the Hulk to more tests. And then, they trick Hulk into reaching a chamber full of zombie like monsters he endures into a non ending fight. Kelloway storms in the room to stop them for still abusing the Hulk. Hubert hits her and leaves with Kortz to get infused by the Hulk's blood, hoping that the gamma irradiated transfusion will give him the Hulk's might. Meanwhile the Hulk escapes from the chamber and frees Kelloway, who now recognizes her as a friend. By the time the Hulk and Kelloway reach the lab, Hubert has already mutated into a grossly overweight green skin monster who has killed Kortz. Hubert approaches the woman to do the same but chokes on his own weight, collapsing on his teammates, seemingly killing her. The Hulk walks away.

Friends
After being defeated by a giant hervibore saurian in a hostile planet, the Hulk returns to the Crossroads and chooses another planet where he could find food. Unfortunately all that he eats is poisonous to him until the spinal cord of an animal the Hulk just killed attaches to his back. The parasite called Sym allows its new host, the Hulk to eat the food without problems. Sym and the Hulk become linked telepathically and eventually friends. Sym taps into the deepest areas of the Hulk's mind, and enables him to speak. They enjoy each others friendship and travel all over the planet. There are other creatures like Sym who live on the planet and they tell them that they cannot stay together since there is no future with the Hulk. Sym and the Hulk flee towards the planet's highest mountain, a place where Sym had always wanted to go and see the stars, which are always covered by clouds. Just before the summit, they stop to rest. When the Hulk awakens and sees the stars, he realizes that Sym is no longer attached to him. The Hulk finds it nearby very ill. Sym tells the Hulk that he detached from him because the Hulk could not survive the trip back down the mountain with the little energy Sym had left in the Hulk. Sym thanks the Hulk for helping him be the first of his species to ever see the stars; Sym dies soon after. The Hulk cries for his friend's demise, and returns to the Crossroads sad and alone. The Puffball Collectible senses Jade Giant's pain and creates a bed for him to rest. They want to be his friend too.

And Six Shall Crush the Hulk!
This begins with the Hulk in the midst of a fight with Army soldiers outside of Fort Carson, Colorado. The Hulk heaves a tank in the soldiers' direction, but they continue to regroup and attack him. Finally, the Hulk has had enough and does a ground-pound, which quickly takes the fight out of the soldiers. The Hulk jumps into the air and lands beside a lake. His leap is monitored on a video screen by a figure covered in shadow. Behind this figure are five tubes, each of which holds a monster (as alluded to by the shadowy figure). The figure then releases the first of the monsters to destroy the Hulk. This begins a succession of battles wherein the Hulk battles and defeats Diablo (smoke monster), Taboo (mud monster), Groot (tree monster), Goom (not sure what kind of monster this is), and Blip (a poor man's Zzzax). The Hulk is exhausted after these battles, and collapses on the ground. He is then quickly collected by the shadowy figure, who restrains him, and explains that he is going to kill him. As the figure comes out of the shadow, the Hulk recognizes him as "White-Thing", which translates to Xemnu, the Living Titan (whom the Hulk last saw in Defenders #12). As Xemnu is about to slay the Hulk, his underground fortress begins to shake. The soldiers have traced a communications blackout back to this location (which is under the riverbed near a dam), and have begun shelling it. Xemnu attempts to escape in a big bubble, but the Hulk latches on as it ascends, and eventually breaks the bubble, dropping both combatants to the top of the dam. They continue to battle until the strain is too much for the dam to take. It finally bursts, carrying both of them away. After an hour or so, the Hulk is the only one to emerge from the river downstream, and seemingly the only survivor. The Hulk leaps away in victory, once again exclaiming that Hulk is the strongest one there is!

The Day The Earth Turned Green!
Our story opens with Dr. Bruce Banner strapped securely, it seems by his own design, to a chair showing himself images of New York and water (under bridges, in water tunnels and fountains). Suddenly an excited assistant, Rikky Keegan, followed by a horde of all too familiar pink Humanoids surge into the room. Banner exclaims that he's trying to save the world from "him" while assistant Rikky makes an attempt to soothe Banner albeit it too late: The Hulk has arrived! Between Rikky's fumbled attempts to calm Banner and the Hulk and the mass of "funny men" surrounding him, the man beast begins a rampage. After a few moments of mayhem "He" reveals himself to be, who else, the Leader! As the Hulk goes to strike his nemesis, he is assaulted by the "memories" implanted by Banner and declares he must go to the place he sees in the pictures. The Hulk crashes out of the Leader's mobile OMNIVAC base and finds himself plunging towards Earth. Days later, an epidemic begin to spread among the population of New York with the victims turning green, no one seems immune to the plague with civilians and heroes alike turning green. Guest stars galore work towards finding a cure for the mystery disease while the Hulk encounters Spider-Man. They trade blows while Parker makes an effort to get a sample of Hulk's blood until he too, falls victim to the green plague. Spidey and the Hulk scuffle attract the attention of the Avengers who launch in pursuit of the Hulk who is in search of the water he sees in his head. Through a series of flash-backs we see how the Leader has duped Rikky into helping him create the Green Plague with Banner's blood, all the while Rikky thinking she was helping the Leader cure Banner, and witness as she too succumbs to the plague only to transform into a female version of the Leader. The Avengers engage the Hulk even as more of their ranks fall to the green flu, following ol' Jade Jaws to a pumping station. The heroes catch on to the Hulk's purposeful rampage and begin to help him destroy the machinery responsible for the flu and battle a horde of Humanoids. At that moment Rikky begins to cause havoc aboard OMNIVAC with her new found powers, halting the Humanoids, then transports herself and the Leader (telekineticaly) to the pumps where the Hulk and the Avengers are still regaining their wits. The Leader shoots Rikky (with a Green Plague antidote bullet). This enrages the Hulk who attacks the Leader; the pair fall into the surging waters of the destroyed pumps. Captain America and the rest of the Avengers leave the scene singing the praises of Banner's alter ego who saved them from the Green Plague.

The Evil That Is Cast...
Iceman and Angel are enjoying life at Angel's home when Master Mold Sentinel Supreme attacks them. The Sentinel defeats Iceman and puts him in a compartment. Angel flies away to Gamma base looking for the Hulk's help. The Sentinel follows right behind him and when Angel is trying to warn Doc Samson of the threat, Master Mold knocks Angel out with a blast. Both Doc Samson and the Hulk try stopping the giant Sentinel but little they can do. Finally, the Hulk leaps and grabs on the Sentinel's leg as it flew away to his giant space station; the Hulk passes out by the lack of oxygen. At the station, the Sentinel puts the three heroes in specimen tubes specially forged to secure their containment; but the Hulk was placed in the Blob's tube which proves very unsuccessful to contain his might. When all heroes are free, a battle with Master Mold follows, where the Hulk is knocked out by a discharge of a million volts. Master Mold reveals them that he was Steven Lang, an enemy of the X-men's (Uncanny X-Men #90 to #100). But Angel states that Steven Lang is alive in a government hospital, brain dead. The Hulk recovers his senses and attacks the Sentinel, this time destroying most of his robotic body. Almost unable to move, Master Mold sets the fusion reactor to overload to destroy the station, and die a robot killing the heroes. Iceman and Angel enter a spacepod, the Hulk kicks it to Earth, and then falls to the ocean; all survive the fall. Happy that Angel and Iceman call him a friend, the Hulk leaps away.

from WOLVERINE ANNUAL #1.

Colleen Wing
arrives in Mount Hood National Forest in Oregon. She leaves a lengthy message
on Misty Knight’s voicemail, informing her that a guy calling himself Worldmind
has been speaking in her head, wanting to hire her as bodyguard. She hangs up
when she encounters Worldmind in a field. He reveals he has only had telepathic
abilities for a few months since he bonded with the Mind Stone. She begs off,
saying cosmic level stuff is out of her league but Worldmind assures her he
knows what is coming and how to stop it. Then Thanos emerges from the forest, demanding
the Mind Stone. Colleen confronts Thanos with her sword, trying to intimidate
him. Thanos breaks the sword with his hand and hurls Colleen several yards
away. Worldmind tells him that Colleen was present to save Thanos from
Worldmind; he unleashes his power, causing the darkness in Thanos’ soul to bring
him to his knees in agony, while Worldmind offers the Titan a chance at
redemption. Thanos responds by grabbing Worldmind and ripping the stone from
his body. But the Mind Stone has sent out a summons for help—and the Hulk
arrives. Thanos tells Hulk he has no business here but Hulk doesn’t care and a
massive battle of fists takes place. As Thanos gains the upper hand he calls
Hulk “puny,” which sends him into a rage so that he fights even harder. When
the two exhausted combatants take a breather, Colleen steps forward, revealing she
is the new bearer of the Mind Stone. Thanos demands the Stone so she stabs him
through the head with her reconstituted sword. Colleen knows he will recover
soon so Hulk punches Thanos’ head into the ground, giving Colleen more time to
get away. “Tell the trinket to never do that again,” says the Hulk and he departs….

Rockin’ the Town!
A San Francisco news TV station receives a letter from a Dr.
Bad Vibes, claiming to have invented an earthquake machine and threatening to
prove it by creating a tremor at noon that day. News anchor Ariel O’Hare thinks
this would make a great story and runs with it….
Eddie Brock is walking down a street in a rundown section of
the city; he sees the owner of a TV store having a fight with his wife and she
runs off. He also passes a dude named Skip talking his Catholic School
girlfriend Tammy into some loving in the back seat of his car. And then an
earth tremor shakes the city, ruining buildings in the neighborhood; Eddie
immediately turns into Venom and stops Skip’s car from disappearing into a
crevasse. He pulls off the door and frees the trapped Tammy; Skip complains about
the missing door, calling Venom “Spider-Man.” Venom, hating to be called
Spider-Man, drops the car back into the crevasse. On TV, Ariel O’Hare announces
that Dr. Bad Vibes has sent a second letter, this one demanding a ransom of
twenty million dollars not to destroy the city. Venom then fails to save an
elderly man injured by the rubble but does scare off a gang trying to loot the
TV store. Then Venom spies the Hulk and assumes he created the earthquake,
trying to take him down. But this is Professor Hulk, easily bursting his
opponent’s webbing and punching his lights out. This doesn’t deter Venom….
On TV, Ariel O’Hare interviews a scientist, Prof. Hinkley,
who claims Dr. Bad Vibes is a fraud, the quake having a natural explanation,
and a psychic, Madame Star, who prophesies that the villain is authentic and he
must be paid his money to protect the city….

quake was completely natural, traces the bad guy’s call and he and Venom show
up at the villain’s lair, accompanied by Ariel O’Hare and a cameraman. On
arrival, they discover that the fearsome Dr. Bad Vibes is a crackpot whose
quake machine is a cardboard box. He presses the painted-on button and believes
he has created another disaster as the heroes watch in pity. Hulk and Venom
walk off, chatting about how life is sometimes pointless. Then the TV guy’s
wife comes back to him and Venom thinks there’s at least an occasional point…..

The Hulk Meets the Hunchback of Notre Dame!
Bruce Banner and Betty Ross are in Paris for a conference at the Academy of Science; passing the Cathedral of Notre Dame, Betty spies a figure atop the structure but Bruce assures her she merely imagined it. It was no delusion, however: it was Quasimodo, descendant of Victor Hugo’s original and he spotted the key on a chain around Betty’s neck (good eyesight, huh?) that will open the door to vast riches for the misshapen monster. At the conference, Bruce meets with Professor Jacques Royale who gives him a box containing a formula he requested; as they head toward Bruce’s lecture hall, Quasimodo leaps out of a manhole and carries Betty off into the sewers. Hiding his captive in a small cell, the villain turns to confront the pursuing Bruce. Bruce is torn between sympathy for a fellow monster and fear for Betty and the stress causes him to transform into the Hulk. The two giants clash and in the fracas the box containing Prof. Royale’s formula falls into a crack in the floor. Betty suspects the two monsters are fighting over the key she carries, which her father wants her to deliver to the French Minister of Finance. As the battle takes the antagonists away from her cell, Betty manages to escape by climbing up to a high window and outside, unaware she is being followed by Quasimodo’s pet bat, Salvatore. Meanwhile, at the top of the Cathedral, Hulk and Quasimodo slug it out in the bell tower with Jade Jaws sending his foe flying through a window. The hunchback is caught in the nick of time by Salvatore (who is a big pet bat) and carried off in pursuit of Betty. Hulk tries to catch his quarry but ends up plummeting into the Seine. An exhausted Hulk drags himself ashore and turns back into Bruce Banner. At midnight, Betty arrives at a closed Paris Metro station for her meeting with the Minister of Finance; he takes her aboard a train where her key and its twin which he holds open the secret compartment in the floor of a train car which allows them to transport gold bullion securely. Having lost her earlier, Quasimodo had Salvatore searching the city for Betty and now that the bat has found her he returns to his master. Bruce heads back to the underground cell where he recovers the formula, which can cure him of being the Hulk. He meets Quasimodo and explains the purpose of the formula and that there is only a single dose. The hunchback tells him that if he looked normal he would not need to hijack the gold so Bruce hands over the bottle. Quasimodo drinks it and…nothing happens. Enraged with disappointment he orders Salvatore to kill Bruce and departs to proceed with his plans for the gold heist. As the giant bat is crushing the life out of him, Bruce becomes the Hulk and clouts the bat, heading down the railroad tracks in pursuit of the villain. Quasimodo leaps into the train cab, tosses the driver overboard and drives off. Hulk arrives, his mighty leap carrying him and his foe off the train where…the misshapen monster transforms into a normal man. Prof. Royale’s formula worked after all! Hulk stops the runaway train and runs off. He turns back into Bruce and the now normal-looking Quasimodo thanks him for his gallant sacrifice.

Blood Hunt
Fifty years
ago, a terrified child ran into an Arizona town, screaming that his parents
were now “underground…”
Today: Bruce Banner
wanders into the deserted Arizona town, with the porcelain doll that
contains the soul of his friend Charlie. Bruce enters the saloon and is startled
by an old man named Miguel. Miguel tells him that the town is a fake, built
decades ago for shooting Western movies. The place is deserted because the sun
has turned dark and the residents all fled. Bruce asks why then Miguel is still
here. Miguel responds with his story. Fifty years ago, he and his parents climbed
over the wall, entering the country from Mexico, seeking a better life. While
crossing the desert, vampires burst up from the ground, attacking the group and
dragging them underground to feast on; Miguel was the only survivor. He then
apologizes to Bruce—because the monsters are already there. They burst up
through the floor, dragging Bruce down into the pit where they tear his chest
open to eat. Bruce pleads with the Hulk to come to his rescue and then the
transformation begins. The Hulk tears into the vampires then breaks through to
the surface; he tears up two wooden poles and stakes as many of the monsters as
he can. The last one he nails to a wall turns out to be Miguel’s mother; she
asks how her son is and Hulk replies, “How should I know?” As he walks out of
the town, Miguel recovers the religious medal his mother wore….
