In "Terror in a Tiny Town," Bruce Banner finds himself caught between scientific ambition and personal turmoil as he pushes forward with his research on the Hulk, even as the Hulkbusters' training efforts unravel. When Doc Samson's accident turns their robot into a weapon against them, the resulting chaos forces a reckoning—both in the field and in the heart, where Betty's decision to marry Bruce adds weight to the storm brewing around them. Written and drawn by John Byrne, with inks by Keith Williams and colors by Andy Yanchus, the issue's cover by Byrne captures the tension with sharp, dramatic flair.
