With the release of “The Incredible Hulk” issue #325, it continues with the storyline of Hulk and Bruce Banner having been merged together and grey hulk making his appearance.
In this latest issue, everyone is at the funeral of Carolyn Parmenter, a member of the Hulk Busters who died fighting the Hulk (back in issue #318). And a fight nearly breaks out.
After the funeral, Bruce Banner along with Betty and Rick are headed to a SHIELD area where more tests are being conducted on Bruce Banner to see if aggression and beatings will anger him to bring out the Hulk.
Meanwhile, SHIELD’s Gama Base Complex is also holding the creature of living electricity ZZZAX and something is going on with Rick Jones.
Meanwhile, as Bruce Banner is being tested, the green Hulk has broken through and goes crazy inside the SHIELD base.
General Ross tries to tell his daughter that Bruce Banner will always be the Hulk and when SHIELD’s Clay Quartermaine goes to check on Bruce, while his clothes are torn. But later on when the Hulk is missing, Clay, Betty and Doc Samson travel to find Bruce Banner to see if he has become the Hulk once again but another HULK has appeared!
The issue has been building up for Rick Jones, who has always felt guilty because Bruce Banner became the Hulk, but in the last issue with General Ross pushing Rick Jones into a vat of Gamma, he has been feeling sick and now, he has been turned into a Hulk.
For the most part, the issue was entertaining and the cover by Al Milgrom showcases Spider-Man, the Avengers, The X-Men and Fantastic Four on the cover to celebrate Marvel Comics 25th anniversary.
