The Incredible Hulk #354
In "The Sure Thing," the Hulk returns to Las Vegas with a simmering tension between his rage and Bruce Banner’s fragile attempt to reclaim control, three months after his last transformation. As Banner tries to piece together his life, Marlo digs into the mystery of her new friend Bruce and her boyfriend, Joe Fixit, while Berengetti finds himself in the middle of a high-stakes Maggia meeting—where mob bosses announce their takeover of the city’s casinos, backed by genetically enhanced enforcers. When the Hulk arrives to take on twelve of these Persuaders, the fight becomes a spectacle, with bets pouring in and Berengetti cashing in on the chaos. Written by Peter David and illustrated by Jeff Purves, with inks by M. Severin, colors by Glynis Oliver, and letters by Joe Rosen, the issue’s cover by Jeff Purves captures the electric tension of the moment.

As the Hulk and Banner try to come to terms with Banner's return (it has been three months since the last transformation), Marlo tries to uncover the mystery of her new friend, Bruce, and her boyfriend, Joe Fixit. Berengetti attends a meeting held by the Maggia for all of the Vegas casino owners and the mob informs them that they are taking over, by force if necessary.
