In "The More Things Change...", a newly merged Hulk and Banner struggle for control within the same body, trapped at Gamma Base as their conflicting selves battle for dominance. With the Hulk forced to restrain Banner from self-destruction, a desperate escape leads to a shocking plunge into Samson's nutrient bath—only for Ross's interference to send Rick tumbling in, and the Hulk to emerge, briefly, as a grey form before reverting to Banner. Written by Al Milgrom and illustrated by Al Milgrom, with inks by Dennis Janke, colors by George Roussos, and letters by Rick Parker, this 2019 Marvel Tales issue features a striking cover by Jen Bartel and Dale Keown, with inks by Bartel and Bob McLeod.
