At Shadow base B, General Fortean watches as the scientists drizzle gamma over Rick Jones' corpse. Meanwhile, Jackie McGee gets a new assignment - to track down what happened at Bruce Banner's wife's house. She arrives to do some investigating, as a reanimated Betty Ross Banner, aka Harpy, secretly stands watch.

| Marvel Execs, 1968: "You can make Betty a Hulk, but we already have a She-Hulk. So you have to make her a bird hulk." |
In New Mexico, Banner and Doc excavate the site where Hulk came to. But with nightfall, big green emerges and not a second too soon. The two are forced to fight off some gamma monsters while Fortean launches phase II - lights illuminate the complex and Hulk... unhulks.

| Excuse me, Doc, while I melt all over the floor. |
Now vulnerable, Bushwaker attacks, seemingly killing Doc Samson while a wounded Banner slinks away. The only problem for him though is that the light has transitioned Banner into his grey hulk counterpart's personality, Joe Fixit. With now a much stronger disposition, “Joe” is able to fight back. He fights his way into the computer’s control room and overrides the power dampeners. But does he make it in time?

| Well, good thing he's a hulk. |
Bushwhacker rounds the corner and pumps him full of lead but the damage is already done. The lights intensify and eventually turn into full on Gamma. Banner aka Joe becomes super, mega Hulk. But he’s gonna have his hands full. Rick Jones’ body has mutated into an abomination? And I’m sure a mega fight is just around the corner? What’ll happen next? We’ll have to wait until the next issue to find out.

| Gross. |
So the interesting thing about this series is that it never ends. The story line goes on and on and on. No arcs. It’s just one continued story like Walking Dead. Or Batman. There’s pros and cons to that but overall, I think it’s a plus. This is a monthly book so there’s no overdoing it. Plus seeing from the awards this series has been picking up, the critics seem to like it too. I give this little run they’re on a 10/10.
