Dats da good poo poo right dere

How did Banner Hulk come back? I thought Amadeus Cho was currently Hulk?

It turns out Hulk is immortal and was just convinced enough that he was dead to keep lying there. The new status quo for the character is that he always comes back after he dies, and the intention seems to be for his book to have more of a horror comic-y feel than Hulk normally does.

Well I mean it was kind of the old status quo too. The future version of him got murdered and had his body completely destroyed, so he just.....hung around as a ghost until he could absorb enough energy to be reborn. Killing the Hulk is entirely possible, it just doesn't matter. You'd have to kill him and destroy his soul or some such, otherwise he'll just come back.

Bruce Banner is very, very angry.

Can someone break down what exactly Banner's deal is here? And what's with Hawkeye and the arrow stuff? I have very little idea of what's going on.

Yeah wait I thought Banner was KILLED by Hawkeye?

So the Hulk was Double Dog Dead?

Banner gave Hawkeye the means to kill him, which placed the burden of doing so on him, which is what he's referring to. And yeah, they thought Hulk was dead, but he wasn't, and came back intelligent but uncaring (at best, evil at worst), and in his battle seems to have killed Pod and certainly severely hurt Red Hulk.

Bruce was worried about about being a danger to others, and gave Hawkeye a special arrow that he thought would be able to kill him, and the Hulk, for good, along with instructions to shoot him with it if it looked like the Hulk was beginning to emerge.

In the pretty terrible Civil War 2 event, an inhuman who had reliable visions of the future prophesied the Hulk going on a rampage and killing a bunch of heroes, causing a bunch of heroes to go and confront Banner at his house. Hawkeye thinks he sees a glint of green in Bruce's eyes, and shoots him stone dead with the special arrow.

He wasn't permanently dead, though, and only stayed dead so long because he was convinced the arrow had killed him and Banner didn't want to be alive anyway, so was suppressing the Hulk from resurrecting himself. But this is sold as, "oh, it really SHOULD have killed him, except it turns out the Hulk is actually 100% no backsies immortal and just resurrects himself after dying".

This was entirely foreshadowed five(?) decades ago when they revealed the Hulk can see astral projections.

I always liked the fan theory that Hulk could see Astral forms was because the one thing the Hulk feared was his Dad coming back from the dead. So logically the Hulk have himself the ability to see ghosts so he wouldn't get jumped by him.

The Hulk being able to come back from the dead makes sense if you consider that the Hulk's powers are all based on a child's Looney Tunes style logic on super powers.

The weirder part is that the Hulk isn't the only one that can see astral forms, Bruce can too. So it's like, did his weird Hulk bullshit give him that power and it's one that he can just happen to use in his normal form, or in addition to being the Hulk can Bruce Banner just also see ghosts?

He just doesn't want to hulk out about something and suddenly discover there's a bunch of magician pervs hoping to catch sight of his green monster.

My favorite moment of this was that Original Sin tie-in where Stark responded to Banner's suicidal moping with angrily cursing him out ("Don't make me angry..." "Then don't make me angry, Bruce! You always make me so drat angry!"). It's surely not how someone should act in that kind of situation, but Stark's response was so raw and honest.

I legitimately want someone to respond to "Don't make me angry..." with "I would PREFER you to be angry, at least the Hulk is less melodramatic!"

Then your alternative is the Hulk smashing your rear end.

Original Sin had some good tie ins. The Avengers one is great, even though (or perhaps because) it had nothing to do with the event.

I got into Mister Miracle expecting something very different from what I'm getting. I hate to say it, cause I liked Vision and Omega Men, but it's lost me. It's very painfully obvious what is going on, and it feels like it should have wrapped up a couple of issues ago, and it's only on issue eight.
