SHIELD Agent Molly Fitzgerald arrives at the site of the massive explosion that destroyed a large Paris square. She meets with Detective Doinel and surveys the corpses of the two hulkified agents but her real interest in in Bruce Banner, who survived. As they head to the hotel where Bruce is being guarded, the building explodes and a sleek aircraft zooms away. Fitzgerald contacts Maria Hill to report….

Nikoleta Harrow has Bruce Banner a prisoner board her ship, which teleports to Pripyat, Ukraine. She wants Banner to transform into the Hulk but he isn’t cooperating. The ship, unable to withstand the second jump, breaks up. A giant robot reaches down picks up (literally, in one hand) Bruce and Harrow, and carries them the rest of the way to her headquarters.

So, they try multiple methods of making Bruce angry thus forcing a transformation into the Hulk but nothing works. They decide that if they can’t break the Hulk they’ll destroy him.

Marvel Knights: Hulk (2014 series) #2 Review by (October 11, 2023)

Review: See full review at issue #1.

Comments: Molly Fitzgerald was introduced in MARVEL SUPER HERO CONTEST OF CHAMPIONS #1-3 as the Irish superhero Shamrock; she retired to become a hairdresser then a pubkeeper but here she is a SHIELD Agent with no explanation. Detective Doinel may be named after Antoine Doinel, protagonist of Francois Truffaut’s THE 400 BLOWS and its sequels. Professor Mantlo is clearly named after Bill Mantlo, legendary Marvel writer.
