Hulk: Maestro by Peter David Omnibus #[nn]

In "Future Imperfect," the Hulk journeys to a bleak, radioactive future alongside Rick Jones and his great-granddaughter, Janis, a defiant leader of a resistance fighting against the tyrannical Maestro. With the fate of the future hanging in the balance, the Hulk must decide whether to trust Janis and confront the very version of himself that rules the world in chains.

In "Self Destruction," Thunderbolt Ross confronts Bruce Banner in a tense standoff, while the Maestro believes he's found the ultimate weapon to end the Hulk—through the fearsome Destroyer. As old wounds and new threats collide, an unexpected moment of quiet camaraderie unfolds between the boys, shared over a cigar.

In "Time Flies Part 3: Future Shares," the battle against the enigmatic Thanatos reaches a shocking climax when the villain is unmasked as a future version of Rick Jones—fractured by time and driven to war. Meanwhile, back on Earth, Marlo faces a chilling threat as the unstable Jackie Shorr, convinced she’s Rick’s mother, closes in on her with terrifying obsession.

In "Time Flies Conclusion: Jonesing," the heroes find themselves thrust into the distant future ruled by the Maestro, where an unexpected alliance with the tyrant himself becomes their only hope against the relentless Thanatos—leading to a tense, time-bending showdown that tests loyalty and survival across eras.

In the shattered ruins of a world shaped by tyranny, the Abomination, awakened by the Maestro’s fall, unleashes his mutates upon the remnants of civilization. With time itself unraveling, a pregnant Betty-6 and a small group of survivors flee into the past, seeking a future unbroken by the Maestro’s reign.

In "The Fading Dead," Jo and her team arrive in the present from a brutal future, only to be met with gunfire from the NYPD. When Jo is injured, Shulk makes a desperate choice—traveling back to a pivotal moment when Betty-6 is pregnant, he sets out to alter fate by eliminating the unborn child.
