Hulk #44
In "Autodestruction," Bruce Banner finds himself in Zone 102, reunited with Betty, only to face a crisis when his transformation into the Hulk is met with unexpected resistance. Written by Peter David and Sophie Viévard, with dynamic art by Adam Kubert and inks by Mark Farmer, this 1999 issue explores the fracture within Banner’s mind as the Hulk refuses to emerge—leaving him trapped between two identities. The cover, also by Adam Kubert, captures the tension of a moment that could change everything.
In "Autodestruction," Bruce Banner faces off against the relentless Thunderbolt Ross, while the Maestro schemes to destroy the Hulk—whose mind is trapped within the Destructeur. As tensions peak, an unexpected moment of quiet unfolds between Ross and the Maestro, who share a cigarette in silence.
In "Reconciliations," Bruce Banner finds himself back at the military base in Zone 102, reunited with Betty after a long separation. As tensions rise and the line between man and monster blurs, Bruce struggles to reclaim control—both from the Hulk within and the forces that would keep him bound. The story unfolds with quiet intensity, exploring the fragile balance between identity and redemption.
