☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis trade paperback collects the 1991 'Incredible Hulk: Ground Zero' storyline, a crossover event that pits the Hulk against a cadre of villains and government operatives. The story involves Bruce Banner's transformation being manipulated by the Leader, leading to a confrontation with the military and various heroes. Key characters include General Ross, Rick Jones, and the Hulk's allies and enemies from the Marvel universe.
In "Vicious Circle," Bruce Banner and his team race to Yuma Base after learning Gamma bombs have been stolen, only to be confronted by the cunning Leader, who threatens to detonate one in Middletown at 10 P.M. The Hulk takes on the forces of Rock and Redeemer alone, but the Leader’s betrayal turns the tide in a shocking twist. With the city in peril and the Hulk caught in the blast, the stakes reach a terrifying peak. Written by Peter David and illustrated by Todd McFarlane, Jim Sanders, Chris Ivy, with colors by Petra Scotese and letters by Joe Rosen, this 1991 Marvel classic features a cover by Todd McFarlane that captures the chaos in bold, dynamic detail.
In a quiet moment between brothers, Bob’s visit to his sibling takes a sudden turn when the Hulk arrives to stop the Man-Bull, now enhanced and unleashed by the Leader’s schemes. With Ed and Sam Henderson caught in the chaos, and Martha Henderson watching from the sidelines, the town braces for a battle where strength meets cunning — and the line between hero and monster blurs.
When Bruce, Rick, and Clay stumble upon Betty fleeing from towering robots, they’re thrust into a fight that’s as much about survival as it is about loyalty. The Leader has twisted the remnants of the Hulkbusters into new threats—Rock and Redeemer—turning past allies into relentless foes.
In "Pyrrhic Victory," the Hulk grapples with the weight of his dual nature as Betty confronts him with a life-changing revelation—she’s pregnant. With the Leader’s forces targeting Yuma base and gamma bombs at stake, General Andrew J. Classon finds himself caught between military duty and the escalating chaos. The tension between loyalty, fear, and hope reaches a breaking point as the Hulk’s rage and humanity collide.
In "Closing Curtain," the Hulk and his allies race against time to stop a stolen Gamma bomb from detonating in Middletown, as the Leader's ominous threat looms. With General Andrew J. Classon, Mayor Joe Redwood, and a tense cast of civilians including Vic, Mr. and Mrs. Harrison, and Charlie, the fate of the city hangs in the balance. When the Hulk confronts the Leader and his enforcers, the stakes rise—and the explosion may not be what anyone expects.
