Incredible Hulk (1999-2007) #5

In this unique installment of the Hulk saga, readers are drawn into a peculiar narrative that diverges from the typical portrayal of the iconic green giant. Through the eyes of another character, the story unravels in unexpected directions, providing a fresh perspective on Hulk's tumultuous existence.
