Savage Hulk #1
This collection kicks off the 2014 Savage Hulk series, reprinting the first story arc, 'The Man Within.' It follows Bruce Banner as he confronts a new threat that forces him to reckon with the monster inside, blending classic Hulk action with psychological depth. Written by Alan Davis with art by him and Mark Farmer, the volume also includes a backup story featuring the Hulk's earliest adventures from Tales to Astonish.
In "The Man Within," the X-Men face their most personal challenge yet when Professor X’s coma sends a single, desperate mental signal—“Hulk”—through their minds. Tracing the word to a remote desert lab, they confront the raging Savage Hulk, only to find that beneath the rage lies Bruce Banner, desperate to save Xavier with a mysterious machine. With Major Talbot’s interference and the stakes higher than ever, the X-Men must navigate a battle of mind and muscle to recover the key device. Written by Roy Thomas and illustrated by Sal Buscema, with inks and colors by Sam Grainger and lettering by Artie Simek, this pivotal issue features a cover by Alan Davis and Mark Farmer.
In "null," the Hulk teams up with the X-Men to take down the Abomination and stay ahead of the military, but when Professor Xavier tries to cure Banner, the Hulk’s gamma energy is pulled into Marvel Girl—leaving both Banner and the team in uncharted territory.
In "null," Marvel Girl grapples with the sudden surge of her gamma-enhanced abilities while Xavier attempts to guide Banner through his fractured mind via psychic connection. When the Leader breaches Xavier’s defenses, he seeks to exploit both the machines and Banner’s unstable psyche for his own gain.
In "null," the Hulk's struggle against the Leader's manipulative schemes takes a shocking turn when Xavier's device, meant to suppress him, instead amplifies the Hulk's power—unlocking unexpected psychic abilities. As chaos erupts, the Hulk shatters the device, reverts to his primal state, and vanishes into the unknown.
In "The Mutants and the Monster," the X-Men follow a single mental whisper—“Hulk”—to find Professor X’s only hope: the jade giant himself. When Jean’s telepathy forces Bruce Banner to surface, the team must race to secure a mysterious machine from an old lab before Major Talbot can stop them.
