This was kind of a neat story. With all the Hulk-mania running rampant through the Marvel Universe right now, this one takes us back to the first meeting of our young heroes with the rampaging split personality. They're sent to Colorado, at the behest of Professor Xavier, who is trying to help the army recapture, as they put it, a threat to society. I guess, actually, this would be Xavier's first experience with the Hulk also. Rick Jones is also part of this story. At the time, he was still trying to protect the Hulk from all the Army's attacks. Pretty much, he felt guilty for what had happened to Dr. Banner, since he was the one that had wandered out to the test range. So anyways, upon their first encounter, of course, they view him as a threat. So they hit first and ask questions later. Then by the time Rick comes on the scene, and tries to explain to them what's really going on, they've already clobbered him into a frenzy, so there's really not going to be any reasoning with him. So it's a good thing that Xavier's powers are able to travel great distances. Plus, sitting in the situation room with all the Army guys, he's really starting to get the feeling that there's more going on with this threat than he's being told. He is able to calm the Hulk down, and then he begins his transformation back in to Dr. Banner. After talking to him, Xavier, and our young heroes, decide that the best thing to do is walk away and pretend they never found him. As usual this book is by Jeff Parker and Roger Cruz. And as I've said before, I really like seeing our heroes in this younger stage of their evolution. I also like the more upbeat stories. But I probably could've done without the cartoon series in the back.
