Incredible Hulks #617
In "Dark Son Conclusion: Fratricide," Bruce Banner reaches out to the Worldmind as Skaar tries to reason with Hiro-Kala, whose belief in a vision from Caiera begins to unravel when the Worldmind reveals it was born of his own mind. With the truth exposed, Hiro-Kala is imprisoned within the Worldmind’s core to begin healing K'ai, leaving the Hulk free to return to Earth—but burdened by the painful cost of his son’s redemption. Written by Greg Pak and illustrated by Barry Kitson, with inks by Scott Hanna, Jay Leisten, and Kitson, and colors by Matt Milla, this pivotal issue closes a powerful arc with emotional weight and cosmic stakes. The cover by Carlo Pagulayan and Jason Paz captures the intensity of the moment.
In "Dark Son Conclusion: Fratricide," Bruce Banner works with the Worldmind to reach through the chaos in Hiro-Kala’s mind, where a haunting vision of Caiera has driven him to destroy the Old Power. As Skaar tries to reason with his brother, the Worldmind reveals the truth—that the vision was a product of Hiro-Kala’s own guilt, not a message from beyond. With the truth exposed, the Worldmind takes Hiro-Kala into its core to begin healing K’ai, leaving Hulk free to return to Earth, though burdened by the cost of the battle with his son.
