It's around the same time as the previous panel you posted, Avengers vol 3 #59. Yeah, that red liquid is blood... If I remember correctly, a bad guy had pinned him up like a bug, by the hands.
I don't know how much you have read so forgive me if you already know about my suggestions, but I highly recommend to read Busiek's run, which is vol. 3 up to 40-something. Number 19 to 22 is the Ultron Unlimited story arc, and it's a great read.

Currently looking for a pull list... Does near-mint West Coast Avengers count?

Thanks for the recommendation! I wanted to read Busiek’s run, but I’ve been trying to figure out which books I should get to collect the whole thing. I’m kind of new to comics. I’ve read Tales to Astonish and some issues of the Avengers comics. I like West Coast Avengers and Mighty Avengers. I’ve been trying to find an efficient way to collect the important stories about Hank and Jan.
For Avengers and WCA, I'd Recommend the Marvel Epic Collections. There is still a lot of material to come out, but what already has will leave you busy for quite a while. Both, Busiek and Johns, have had their runs completely collected. I, for one, really love reading things in trades.
Peace
It really was very good. I particularly liked how protective of Jan it showed Hank to be. It reenforces the idea that he really wasn't in his right mind when he hit her. Busiek really tried righting some wrongs done to the character. Too bad leater "edgy" creators prefered to ignore it.
Peace

I feel current writers don't like tidy, happy endings -- so they had to dredge up ancient history. That's probably the biggest reason I am quitting modern comics.
Lets say Hank came back with another ability or an additional scientific gimmick to add to his arsenal, what would you give him?
