Synopsis / Summary / Plot

Fall of the Hulks: Gamma #1 Synopsis by Julio Molina-Muscara
General Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross has been killed in action during his battle (wearing the Redeemer armor) against the Red Hulk. Several super heroes assist the ceremony and say a few words about the old soldier who lived and died battling the Hulk: Doc Samson, the Thing, Rick Jones (as A-Bomb), and Bruce Banner. From a secret lab, the ceremony is being watched by the Red She-Hulk, Lyra and M.O.D.O.K. 

After paying tribute to Ross, A-Bomb takes Banner away before Samson or the others can get their hands on him. And at night, two very singular characters pay visit to Ross' tomb: seemingly none others than his daughter Betty Ross (back from the dead!) and her former husband Major Glenn Talbot (also back from the dead!!)

Finally, we learn that Samson also forms part of the super villain group Intelligencia, and that the Red Hulk has partnered with none other than his hated enemy Bruce Banner to go against the Intelligencia!
