Incredible Hulk: Regression #[nn]

In "Old Soldiers Never Die!", the Hulk pays a surprising visit to the Marvel offices, sparking a candid conversation with Ann Nocenti that cuts to the heart of legacy and regret. Meanwhile, Thunderbolt Ross confronts the weight of his past, reflecting on a life defined by duty, obsession, and the choices that led him to betray his nation—all in pursuit of a monster he could never truly defeat.

In "Dragon-Night!", a struggling Ringmaster tries to revive his fading circus with a bizarre new act: the fearsome Dragon Man. When Bruce Banner happens to be in the audience, the Ringmaster sees a chance for revenge—and sets the creature loose on him. But the Dragon Man has other plans, turning on its master in a moment that throws the whole show into chaos.

In "Assassin!", Bruce Banner returns from Mexico to find himself targeted by a mysterious killer at the airport. Days later, he tracks down the man behind the attack, uncovering a personal vendetta tied to a past mistake—and deciding to face the consequences of his actions.

In "From Out of the Night Comes... Boomerang!", Bruce Banner’s experimental gamma therapy saves a dying dog, but his attempt to heal himself draws the attention of Max Stryker, a former crime lord seeking redemption—or revenge. Sent to capture Banner, the mercenary Boomerang engages the Hulk in battle, taking Kate hostage and forcing Bruce to administer his untested cure to Stryker. As the line between villain and savior blurs, Stryker reveals Boomerang’s location—but the Hulk’s focus shifts to a mysterious structure in Central Park, pulling him toward a larger mystery.

In "Turning Point!", the Hulk, battered and furious after the Secret Wars, races to rescue Kate from the deadly Boomerang. When the threat is neutralized, a tense reunion at Bruce’s lab reveals a shocking twist: former mob boss Max Hammer has been using an untested gamma cure to heal the sick—until the treatment transforms him into a monstrous threat before their eyes.

In "To Kill or Cure!", Bruce Banner’s gamma cure goes horribly wrong when Max Hammer is transformed into a monstrous threat, forcing the Hulk into a brutal fight for survival. As the Hulk’s mind begins to slip back into his primal rage, Rom arrives on the scene, drawn by the presence of Dire Wraiths—but instead finds a battlefield of dying victims, their bodies ravaged by unstable gamma energy.
