“…And Who Shall Claim This Earth His Own? The Inheritor!”

Storyline: A tranquilized Hulk sits in a prison inside Project: Greenskin, as General Ross, Major Talbot and Betty Ross mull over why he hasn’t changed back into Bruce Banner. Betty heads outside and sees a shooting star, making a silent wish that life for her and Bruce will be different. In truth, the shooting star is an alien spaceship and a being known as the Inheritor walks away. Back at Project: Greenskin, the Hulk has awakened and begins to tear free from his prison. Halfway thru his escape, the prison is filled with sleeping gas and the Hulk collapses and finally transforms. Betty and company fill Banner in on the purpose of Project: Greenskin, and allow him to work on finding a cure. He creates a harness that will detect any symptom of the transformation and begins working on draining the radiation from his body. Before anything can happen, the Inheritor attacks the base, attracted to the radiation. We get a quick recap of the Inheritor’s origin as Banner becomes the Hulk. The two brutes go at it for a brief moment, before the Hulk tosses the Inheritor deep inside the base and the radiation experiment that Banner was working on reverts the Inheritor back into his original form – a cockroach.
Key Characters: None.

Historical Notes: None.

Personal Thoughts: Ok issue. Betty’s wish for a change in their lives proves to come true in a few issues.

For some reason - outside of Grey Hulk - I don't like when the Hulk is wearing blue jeans - even though it makes more sense than purple ones.

It's awesome.

Managed to sneak to the comic store WITHOUT the kids...enjoyed it, but it felt a bit lackluster. Fight wasn't long enough...and not enough bones were broken!

Hehe! The way that bone was broken was pretty impressive though. He did it almost effortlessly.

“Cry Hulk, Cry Havok!”

Storyline: Hours after battling the Inheritor last issue, the Hulk is hiding behind some rubble in an underground portion of Project: Greenskin and ambushes General Ross and a squad of Hulkbuster troops. They fall back and deploy some sleep gas, but this time the Hulk grabs a mask from one of the unconscious soldiers and corners Ross. As the gas grows thicker, the Hulk decides to leap away than fall asleep. Dusk falls, and the Hulk is brooding atop a plateau and pining for Jarella. At dawn, he’s attacked by P:G choppers by Ross again, but abruptly called away from the battle by orders from Congress. We cut to Washington D.C. and one Senator Clegsted who is vigorously defending his stance on the continued funding of Project: Greenskin against a first-term Representative named Roger Dutton and then back to New Mexico as Betty Ross and Glenn Talbot are searching for the Hulk. They find and follow the brute as he spies a motorcycle gang harassing a green-haired woman who he believes is Jarella. Turns out that it’s really Lorna Dane, mutant mistress of magnetism and former member of the X-Men, and her companion is Alex Summers, aka Havok, and has come to ask Lorna back rejoin the group. The Hulk mistakes their spat as an attack and takes the green-haired girl to a giant mesa for solitude. It dawns on him that this girl is not Jarella and believes it to be a trick when Havok arrives. They have a short back & forth until the Hulk rips apart half the mesa (with Lorna on top), leaving Havok to use a unique method of his powers and forces the Hulk to gently set the cliff down and transform back into Banner. Havok and Lorna walk away in time for Talbot and Betty to arrive…and much to Betty’s horror, overhear Banner mumble about “Jarella, my love.”




Key Characters: Alex Summers and Lorna Dane, aka Havok & Polaris.

Historical Notes: Betty finds out about Jarella, and boy does she hit a rebound!

Personal Thoughts: Ok issue, but how it’s always bugged me that the Hulk would mistake Polaris (green hair) for Jarella (blonde hair). In a few years, he definitely doesn’t make that mistake.

This is a series that was made for Dan Slott....

This is a series that was made for Dan Slott....

I'd like to see him take a shot at writing Hulk.

Not to mention these other writers.


*Geoff Johns

*Cullen Bunn

*Scott Snyder

*Kieron Gillen

*Chris Yost

*Chris Gage

*J. Michael Straczynski

*Fred Van Lente

*Keith Giffen

And if not one of them, we could always bring Greg Pak or Peter David back on the character.

To be quite honest, I have pretty much not liked nearly all (with some few exceptional issues) of the current Hulk comics since Pak departed.
