Michael Straczynski , Mike McKone , Andy Lanning , Cam Smith , Paul Mounts , and Rus Wooton come up the Hulk disoriented after surviving a Gamma Bomb at pointedness - blank reach .

Hulk’s Fight With The Thing Leads Directly To “Planet Hulk”
The most inauspicious aspect of Hulk ’s concluding offense is the fact that he himself is a victim .
Not only does Hulk batter Thing to near - death , buthe withstands a supernova attack from the Human Torch at point - blank rangewithout so much as a scratch . All the while , Hulk ’s own bad fears remind him that he ’s an unkillable ogre , egg him on to even more destruction .

Hulk’s Rampage Is Not His Fault
The most unfortunate view of Hulk ’s final crime is the fact that he himself is a victim .

But given the history of Marvel ’s ownIncredible Hulk , that ’s highly unlikely .
