Hulk Modern Era Epic Collection: Fall Of The Hulks

A clandestine alliance of brilliant super villains seeks to engineer the Fall of the Hulks!

M.O.D.O.K. Leader. Mad Thinker. Egghead. Red Ghost and the Super-Apes. Doctor Doom. Together, they are the Intelligencia! Having analyzed every victory and every defeat in the Marvel Universe, they’ve formulated the perfect battle plan to take down all the Hulks! And the most powerful Hulk is already gone — transformed back into Bruce Banner, seemingly forever. But Banner knows that the Hulk never stays buried. He knows he must prepare. So he’s training Skaar, his half-alien son, to kill him once and for all! Plus: Red Hulk is smashing his way through the Marvel Universe on a mission to put a big hurt on the Intelligencia. To do that, he’ll need Banner. But Red Hulk hates Banner, and the feeling is most definitely mutual. And with the Intelligencia corrupting even the powerful intellects of Reed Richards and Doctor Doom, can a house of Hulks divided do anything but fall? Also featuring the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, the Savage She-Hulks and the Cosmic Hulk robot!
