What If? World War Hulk Vol 1 1

The first tale shows Tony Stark not hesitating to fire the laser satellite into New York City, killing the Warbound and many heroes. Watching from hiding, the Skrulls hear of the death of their queen (masquerading as Spider-Woman) but believe the Hulk is a prophet sent to aid them by destroying the heroes.

They attack, their sleeper agents allowing them to wipe out most of the remaining super-beings and take over the world. Two months later, the Vision finds Bruce Banner in the ruins of New York, waiting to die and convinced him to become the Hulk again and help. The Hulk aids the remaining heroes against the Skrulls, inspiring people to help. In this world, it's the Wasp, not Hank Pym, who's a Skrull and she infects Hank with the bio-weapon that wipes out the remaining heroes.

The Hulk survives and summons the Silver Surfer, demanding the Surfer call Galactus to destroy Earth. The Surfer does so but leaves, disgusted at the Hulk's blood-thirsty ways. Galactus arrives and feeds upon Earth, destroying the Skrulls and the planet. He lets the Hulk live, promising to take away the monster's pain and memories. The Hulk agrees and is transformed into Galactus' new herald, the World-Breaker.

Synopsis for "Say What? World War Hulk"

Synopsis not yet written

Solicit Synopsis

Erupting out of what could have been in the pages of World War Hulk, a double trouble of stories! Writer Mike Raicht (EXILES ANNUAL) and artist Lucio Parrillo (Red Sonja) illustrate the Hulk's war against the Illuminati and the resulting disaster that leaves Earth without its mightiest heroes. Who could possibly benefit from such a catastrophe? We'll give you a hint, it's not the Hulk... but they're green too. WHAT IF THE HEROES LOST WORLD WAR HULK? In the second feature, a vengeful Hulk and his Warbound began routing Earth's super heroes, confident no one could stop him from dispensing his gladiatorial brand of justice. But in this alternate telling of the story, the recently returned God of Thunder hammers out a different conclusion in "WHAT IF THOR PARTICIPATED IN WORLD WAR HULK? by Michael Gallagher (GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY) and SPAZ! (MUTIES). Plus a "SAY WHAT?" comedy strip by Mike Gallagher (Mad Magazine) and Dave Menak (Spy Vs. Spy).
