Der unglaubliche Hulk #31

In the aftermath of Hurricane Hugo, the Freedom Force moves in to capture the Hulk, but their mission takes a sudden, painful turn when a young boy—whose quiet suffering echoes Bruce Banner’s own past—comes to harm during the chaos. As tensions rise and the line between protector and prisoner blurs, the Hulk must confront not only his captors but the ghosts of his own history, with shadows of Destiny’s past and the looming presence of the Sorceror Supreme adding to the storm.

In "Rückkehr in die Finsternis," Bruce Banner stumbles through New York at dawn, still reeling from a battle that left him vulnerable—only to stumble into a nightmare when he finds Doctor Strange trapped in a closet, fighting a shadowy entity. With Namor’s sudden arrival and the reassembled Defenders at his side, Strange guides Banner into his own mind to confront the Hulk, but something from the dark being has slipped through, clinging to the green giant like a shadow.

In "Der Unangreifbare," the Hulk, mentally ensnared by the Strange Universe's Sorcerer Supreme, fights a dual battle—within his own mind and against Doctor Strange and Namor in the real world. As Bruce Banner struggles to reclaim control, a hidden door in his psyche becomes the key to his defiance. Back in Connecticut, he seeks Betty Banner, only to find her transformed, her life now dedicated to a quiet, solemn path.

In "Wenn die Zeit verfliegt," Alpha Flight—Heather McNeil Hudson, Puck, Shaman, Snowbird, and the newly joined Talisman [Elizabeth Twoyoungmen]—embarks on a mission across time when Snowbird identifies Elizabeth as the promised one. With the help of Zebediah Chase and Lucas Stang, the team journeys 100 years into the past to face the ancient threat of Ranaq, guided by a mysterious coronet drawn from her father’s medicine bag.

In "Gold und Liebe," Talisman [Elizabeth Twoyoungmen] faces a chilling truth: she cannot remove her mystic coronet, binding her to her role forever. Meanwhile, Aurora and Walter journey to one of his old haunts, hoping to claim it as Alpha Flight’s new base—only to find it occupied by the enigmatic Gilded Lily, whose touch turns men to gold.
