Essential Rampaging Hulk #1

In "The Krylorian Conspiracy," Bruce Banner finds himself drawn to Dawn Michaels, a reporter embedded at a suspicious local mine. When they uncover a dangerous plot to weaponize radioactive material for terrorist sale, Dawn’s life is tragically cut short—leaving the Hulk to seek justice in a rage fueled by loss. Written by Doug Moench and illustrated by Ron Wilson, with inks by Ricardo Villamonte and letters by Jim Novak, this 2008 tale blends personal tragedy with high-stakes action, anchored by a haunting final moment that cements a vow the Hulk will never break. The cover, by Ken Barr, captures the emotional weight of the story’s turning point.
