While the Hulk has been busy making new friends in deep space, what have his friends on Earth been doing? And more importantly, where do they stand now that Hulk is back to smash those who jettisoned him off planet? Rick Jones will have to face the green goliath in Incredible Hulk #108.

NOTE: This issue was originally solicited with a different story. That story will appear in Incredible Hulk #109.

I guess if you are going to fall behind in getting your stories completed on time, the best bet is to jostle everything around, hope it still makes sense, and hope you don’t piss off those readers who had to pre-order the issue because their nearest comic shop is over 200 miles away *cough*Superman*cough*.

“Bitter much?”

Quite possibly, dear reader. Quite possibly. Take the jump for the cover and solicitation information.
