The Following Article about the Hulk's return (more or less) as hinted by the Covers for AVENGERS: NO SURRENDER, via this Linkage here.

"Avengers: No Surrender Covers Tease Hulk’s Return, Spidey’s Black Suit" - misleading headline, don't you think, CBR? Everything on those monitors is scenes from the past.

how is banner and hulk reintroduced? what has been going on? How is he back from the dead?

what is this going on with "weapon H" and how does this affect the legacy?

Where is Skaar in the midst of all this? Did he mourn his father?

The top row of questions we won't know the answers to until Avengers 684-686 comes out. I haven't been reading anything Weapon H related but Skaar was seen mourning his father in Civil War II: The Fallen.

I have a theory. I can see the scene opening with Banner lying within his coffin, underground. At first his form is still and motionless. Then, suddenly, Banner's eyes snap open and glow a vibrant emerald. The scene shifts to Banner and Hulk's psyche.

Banner and Hulk are having an argument. Banner simply wishes to remain dead, wanting not to return to life and allow peace to be brought to his friends/family and the entire world/universe. The Hulk, however, does not wish to remain dead, for he views it as weakness... and THE HULK is NEVER weak! And further more, being truly Immortal, the Hulk cannot die nor remain so for long.

And, besides, the Hulk wishes to exact some much-needed vengeance on the heroes who on countless times betrayed him and Banner. He wants justice. He wants to show all of them, show the entire Marvel Universe, that he is the God of Smash, the Sakaarson and the Worldbreaker, the Unstoppable Green Goliath, and the Strongest One There is!!!

You know, I think Amadeus deserves some sympathy. When he "cured" Banner, Bruce cried because Amadeus had taken on the curse. How's Ammy going to feel when he realises that he didn't cure Bruce Banner at all? It'll be interesting to see Hawkeye's reaction too, since while it will prove Clint was justified in Civil War II, of course, that was ultimately futile as well.

One of the classic Hulk's Christmas stories, which is briefly told within this Article here.

with Rhino's more "sophisticated" portrayal in recent years, has he encountered the Hulk at all? Any response from him regarding Banner's death?
