Bruce Banner is
approaching Las Vegas when a truck comes barreling toward him and he suddenly
finds himself in a hanging cage. His neighbor, a skeleton in another cage,
greets him, revealing he is Rick Jones, who warns Bruce that the way back is
closing and he has limited time to escape the Hulkscape where a massively
gigantic monster Hulk is battling a purple creature with a bone club. Rick also
notes that Bruce is the only prisoner there as this place exists only because
of him. A glowing bird breaks through Rick’s ribcage and flies into
Hulk-Monster’s eye, distracting him so that purple monster lands a blow to his
head that drops Hulk-Monster into a river. The massive wave pulls down Bruce’s
cage and he escapes; as the Rick-Bird leads the way, Hulk’s voice in Bruce’s
mind keeps up a barrage of threats. Bruce explains his current history with
Hulk and Charlie as they enter the ruins of a city. A Gargoyle-Hulk drops from
a building top to menace Bruce but a Griffin-Hulk swoops down to carry him off.
Lightning hits the Griffin, shattering it and Bruce plummets, landing on an
inclined wall of windows. Bruce struggles to the top where Rick-Bird reveals he
is the Hulk, tormenting Bruce all the time. Green meteors speed toward Bruce
who falls…
…only to wake
up in darkness. Betty Ross comes to him, telling him she has forgiven him for
everything. She hands him a huge claw, telling him it is from the Eldest and
informing him that Hulk can save Charlie only by making her a monster. Charlie’s
soul is trapped in a prison of her own nightmares. At the Temple of Lycana,
Bruce will have a choice: either condemn Charlie to life as a monster or cut
the Mark of the Eldest into his flesh and give up the Hulk….
