All his life, the Hulk has wanted to be left alone - but now, he's got a big, bad family to keep up with! After the events of WORLD WAR HULKS, Hulk is joined by his son from "Planet Hulk," Skaar; his daughter from an alternate future, Lyra; the cousin he's known and loved for ages, She-Hulk; and his best friend, Rick Jones, now in the gamma-charged form of A-Bomb. Oh, and don't forget his first wife and longtime love, Betty Banner - transformed into the ragingly embittered Red She-Hulk. They'd better stick together no matter how uncomfortable this new arrangement may be for all concerned, because one more addition to the family is making his way across the galaxy: the world-shattering Hiro-Kala - twin brother to Skaar, son to Hulk and unknown to either. But not for long! Collecting INCREDIBLE HULKS #612-617.

This collection of new essays explores Marvel's more than five decades of Hulk comics. The contributors analyze the Hulk and his supporting cast in their shifting historical contexts, offering insights into both our popular entertainment and our cultural history. Topics include the Cold War's influence on early Incredible Hulk issues, a feminist reading of She-Hulk and writer Peter David's focus on the AIDS crisis.
