The Hulk has been hounded by armies before. But this time it seems more personal than usual. General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross blames the Hulk for his daughter's death, and his colleague, General Ryker, has decided the time has come to bring him down for good. The Hulk doesn't necessarily disagree with Ross, since his gamma-irradiated body caused the radiation poisoning that killed his wife, Betty. The stage is set for a battle the likes of which have not been seen before. Ross brings everything in the army's arsenal to bear in this war . The Hulk must fend off mutated soldiers, radiation-injected hounds and even tries to turn the Hulk's own body against him. It's a battle for the ages, but not without a price being extracted from both Ryker and the Hulk. The aftermath may leave the army poorer for the experience, but it also leaves the Hulk and his Bruce Banner alter-ego in less than stellar shape.
