Placement of H2 621/2
Can anyone place the second story in this week's Incredible Hulks #621? It occurs "a few years" after H 1. Bruce Banner has "escaped overseas to Russia for a bit, being so far away from Ross, Rick, Betty...everything." This story features the green, dumb Hulk. Was there a previously published Hulk story set in Russia to which this tale might be connected?

After Hulk destroyed the Mandarin's castle in China in H2 108, he said in H@ 1 "for weeks Hulk has wandered this strange land". He's in the Himalayas in H@ 1, still in an asian country in H2 109... he could have leaped to Russia

Hmm. That doesn't quite seem to fit the premise of H2 612/2, which gives the impression that Banner intentionally left the U.S. to go be alone in Russia.

Friend Paul B:
Since I do not have the issue in question at hand, could you answer the following:
Is there a specific cause for Bruce's transformation(nightfall, single-ended rage or stress, or double-ended rage or stress[that is, does too much stress cause an involuntary reversion back to Banner, as in the early TTA issues]???
Who/what is the story's main "villain", and are there any familiar supporting characters or mentions of political figures in Russia???

Banner turns to Hulk whe he gets mad. The only other named character is a demon called Chernobog.

Other times the "dumb" Hulk is in Russia and/or the Soviet Union is TTA #66 - 67 (USA -> Russia -> Mongolia. Maybe there's a possibility that H2 621/2 could take place in between pages or panels in TTA 67.), IH2 #187 - #190 (Hulk vs. The Gremlin, Mole Man, and the Toad Men. Maybe there's a possibility that H2 621/2 could take place in between issues 189 and 190.), Incredible Hulk vol. 2 #258 - #259 (Hulk teams up with the Soviet Super-Soldiers, next issue he's in Japan. Maybe there's a possibility that H2 621/2 could take place in between issues 259 and 260.)
I hope this helps with your placement.

Thanks for replying, Starman. Unfortunately, I don't believe any of those stories lend temselves well to the context that Banner has voluntarily left Betty and Rick to go to Russia to be alone.
