Incredible Hulks: Dark Son #[nn]

In "Dark Son Chapter One: Earth," Bruce grapples with the weight of his past as he seeks to rebuild a life with Betty, only to find her resolve unshaken by his return. The story unfolds with quiet intensity, exploring the fragile hope of reconciliation between two people shaped by loss and distance.

In "Dark Son Chapter Three: K'ai," Hiro-Kala wields the Worldmind’s might to bend the wills of K'ai and Sakaar’s people, leaving only Axeman Bone free to bear witness. With Earth now his target, Hiro-Kala moves to erase the Old Power once and for all.

In "Dark Son Chapter Four: Earth," Steve Rogers reaches out to the Hulk with an urgent mission, warning of a growing threat from K'ai—but it's Skaar who ultimately steers the Hulk's decision. When Skaar reveals the truth, the stakes deepen: his long-lost twin brother, Hiro-Kala, is behind the chaos on K'ai, setting the stage for a confrontation that will test family, loyalty, and the very nature of the Hulk's legacy.

In "Dark Son Chapter Six: First Contact," the Hulk, driven by fury and desperation, leads his allies to K'ai to face the growing threat of Hiro-Kala’s army—where even children have been twisted into mindless soldiers. As the battle rages, the Hulk confronts his son alone, the weight of their fractured past hanging heavy in the air.

In the final chapter of "Dark Son," Bruce Banner works with the Worldmind to reach through the chaos as Skaar tries to reason with his brother Hiro-Kala. When Hiro-Kala claims a vision from Caiera justified his actions, the Worldmind reveals the truth: the vision was born of his own mind, not her soul. With Hiro-Kala contained and the path to healing K'ai set in motion, the Hulk returns to Earth—free, but burdened by the cost of facing his son.
