Plot
Collects Startling Stories: Banner (2001) #1-4.
As a thematic lead-in to INCREDIBLE HULK #34, writer Brian Azzarello (100 Bullets, Hellblazer) and artist Richard Corben (Heavy Metal) deliver a startling vision of Marvel's jade giant! What would you do if you knew that you were a ticking time bomb? If you knew that your continued existence meant unlimited death and destruction? What would you do if at any moment you could transform into the rampaging monster known as the Hulk? You see, nerdy scientist Bruce Banner has to answer those questions. For when he loses his cool, the 98-lb. weakling transforms into a 1,000-lb., green-skinned engine of devastation! Relentlessly tormented by his monstrous "id," and vigilantly pursued by an elite military unit headed by the enigmatic Doc Samson, Banner has nowhere to hide. After all, how can you outrun the mass murderer inside you?
