This deluxe, hardcover volume collects the first year’s stories from Incredible Hulk Vol. 1: Return of the Monster, Incredible Hulk Vol. 2: Boiling Point and Startling Stories: Banner – plus other behind-the-scenes bonus material. A bold new era begins for the Hulk! When the Hulk is implicated in an unspeakable act, Bruce Banner must embark on a harrowing voyage that will force him to confront the deepest truths about himself – and the beast inside him! The Writer Speaks: “I’ll borrow from my ‘darker’ stories the sense of heightened reality that’s always been a staple of my work, but the new Hulk won’t be a horror series,” explained Jones. “If I had to use a key word it would probably be ‘paranoia.’ Essentially, this is a story about one man up against the wall whose worst enemy is himself. To a lesser or greater degree, that’s true of all of us. You may love the Hulk, or hate him or admire him or whatever, but at the end of the day he’s in a class by himself; it’s Banner who’s most like the rest of us, and it’s his psyche I’ll be probing.”

Writer: Brian Azzarello
Artist: Richard Corben

As a thematic lead-in to Incredible Hulk #34, writer Brian Azzarello and artist Richard Corben deliver a startling vision of Marvel’s jade giant! What would you do if you knew that you were a ticking time bomb? If you knew that your continued existence meant unlimited death and destruction? What would you do if at any moment you could transform into the rampaging monster known as the Hulk? You see, nerdy scientist Bruce Banner has to answer those questions. For when he loses his cool, the 98-lb. weakling transforms into a 1,000-lb., green-skinned engine of devastation! Relentlessly tormented by his monstrous “id,” and vigilantly pursued by an elite military unit headed by the enigmatic Doc Samson, Banner has nowhere to hide. After all, how can you outrun the mass murderer inside you?

Also includes other behind-the-scenes materials!
