It's Hulk Month, and that means we're unleashing new Hulk content every day, including fresh Gamma-blasted Digital Highlights each week! This week it's a clash of the titans as we showcase some of the Green Goliath's most epic battles against some of his arch-foes. Get ready for a whole lot of "HULK SMASH!" TALES TO ASTONISH #91
The Hulk has been touted as a brute force with power and strength nobody can match, but in this classic tale, the Green Goliath battles the ferocious freak known as the Abomination. An enemy spy formerly known as Emil Blonsky, the Abomination brings the Hulk to near death and flees with his rival's lady love, Betty Ross. Can the Hulk recover and turn the tables on a foe who has already bested him? And who's that guy watching from deep space?
TALES TO ASTONISH #63
A classic tale of brains versus brawn. When Samuel Sterns becomes the victim of an experimental gamma ray cylinder explosion, his brain mutates to an advanced level, thus creating the Leader. Aiming to steal Bruce Banner's nuclear experimental machine, the leader sends his "Indescribable Humanoid" to attack the train transporting it. Will the Hulk be able to foil his plans or will this powerful weapon end up in the hands of a diabolical genius?
INCREDIBLE HULK v3 #59
The Absorbing Man has been dead for some time—so why does he seem to be haunting Bruce Banner? When Crusher Creel possesses the body of a young girl, he blackmails his old rival into rescuing his imprisoned body. But once Creel goes free, can either the Hulk's might or Banner's intellect stop his rampage?
MARVEL ADVENTURES HULK #1
Since the first moment Bruce Banner became the Incredible Hulk, General "Thunderbolt" Ross has dogged his every move, devoting his life to capturing the monster. Relive the origin of this heated rivalry with a seat at ground zero for the birth of Marvel's not so jolly Green Giant and get inside the head of his most persistant nemesis.
INCREDIBLE HULK v1 #5
The last emperor of the Roman Empire, Romulus Augustulus fell from grace into the underground world of Subterranea where he became Tyrannus. Intending to use the Hulk as a pawn in his army to conquer the surface world, the Caesar wannabe captures Betty in order to force Banner into an Olympics of pain. Will the Hulk lead Tyrannus' army to the world above or can he and Betty find their way out?
