Hulk: Broken Worlds #2

Story #1: Post-Apocalypse [Age of Apocalypse]
Writer: Marc Sumerak
Pencilers: Jonboy Meyers
Inker: Mark Irwin


Characters Appearing:
Apocalypse (FB only), Gwen Stacy, Tony Stark, Susan Storm, Thing/Bruce Banner (& FB), Victor Von Doom


Synopsis:
1-8: Gwen, Tony, Bruce, and Victor are aboard a space ship under seige from missiles fired by Apocalypse. To save the others, Bruce sacrifices himself to stop a Gamma bomb from hitting the ship. The bomb explosion sends Bruce's body plummeting toward Earth, but when it lands, he emerges as the familiar Green Hulk, rather than Grey.


Flashbacks:
(5:1-5:4) Apocalpyse convinces Bruce to join him. Bruce becomes the Thing and fights against the humans.


Continuity Notes:
This story takes place after X-Universe. The flashback comes before X-Universe, but I'm not sure where to place this for apocalypse.
