Incredible Hulk Epic Collection #13

In the eerie stillness of the dimensional crossroads, the Puffball collective pleads with the Hulk for help, claiming their world was destroyed. Touched by their tale, he tears down the mystical barrier—only to realize too late he’s unleashed a swarm of N’Garai demons upon the multiverse. With unexpected aid from Goblin, Guardian, and Glow, the Hulk races to seal the rift before the horrors spread further.

In the surreal realm of the Crossroads, Bruce Banner relives the defining moments of his life—from childhood to the fateful accident that forged the Hulk. As the Beyonder observes from beyond, a mysterious beacon of light begins its journey across dimensions, drawn toward Bruce’s story.

In "Hook, Line & Sinker!" from Incredible Hulk Epic Collection #13, the Hulk, stranded in a liminal dimension, is suddenly pulled back by an unseen force—only to find his body claimed by Walter Langkowski, a spirit from Alpha Flight seeking a new vessel. As the two minds grapple across the boundary of identity, a moment of unexpected empathy shifts the balance, leading to a reunion that neither expected.

When Alpha Flight’s attempt to replace Walter with a new host goes awry, they inadvertently unleash the Hulk on Canada, forcing the team to confront their own flaws as they try to stop the rampaging giant. Now officially Canada’s superhero team, they must rise to the challenge—facing not just the Hulk, but their own limits.
