This collection ends with a titanic battle between the Hulks that shook the entire North American continent. Enter Skaar, the Hulk’s estranged son he thought dead and abandoned at the end of Planet Hulk, eager for payback at his sire. With the return of the Hulk, Banner’s contingency plan to deal with the re-emergence of his alter-ego slides into place. Banner thwarts his foe with the help of his own allies, but at the cost of having the Hulk restored. It also appears that Banner has lost his Hulk persona, but to outwit the super intelligent Leader and his gamma irradiated brain, he needed not the Hulk’s physical strength but his wits and cunning mind. This story has Banner up against the Leader and his allies, whose master plan to conquer the United States involve draining the intellect of five of eight most intelligent men in the world. The last few Hulk stories I’ve read, Planet Hulk, World War Hulk and the Red Hulk mystery are very Hulk-centric tales, Banner barely even managed an appearance.

It’s just a matter of time before father returns to see how much trouble his irradiated offspring has caused. Pak has spun an intense tale to grab Hulk lovers’ attention and fans of a certain muscle-bound Cimmerian.
