Incredible Hulk Epic Collection: Devolution

The Incredible Hulk Epic Collection: Devolution gathers Bill Mantlo and Sal Buscema’s renowned six-year Hulk run, delivering a bold rethink of the Hulk mythos. In these stories, Banner’s intellect challenges the monstrous persona, pushing the science-driven hero toward self-discovery as his gamma-powered alter ego grapples with power and responsibility. The collection traces a pivotal arc that moves from escalating conflicts to a defining showdown as Banner’s mind leads the way, culminating at the doorstep of the White House. Across this landmark era, the Hulk crosses paths with a galaxy of iconic heroes in stories that mix cosmic imagination with character-driven drama. Included are two Hulk Annuals, Banner’s fusion with Captain Universe, and a memorable clash with the Avengers, plus Frank Miller’s earliest superhero work, all collecting the 1968 series #263–279 and more.
