The Incredible Hulk #3

In "Captured at Last!", the Hulk faces off against the indestructible Banner Bot in a high-stakes showdown at Gamma Base, where his strength alone isn’t enough to stop the machine—until a desperate gambit sends it plummeting into a bottomless chasm.

Talbot’s suspicion and the tension between him and Banner only deepen as the Chameleon’s deception unfolds.
