Hulk: Smash Everything (2026 series) #4

The giant angry Hulk has been restored to his own time and place: confronting the Leader in Doctor Doom’s treasure vault. The terrified villain tries to calm Hulk but Hulk tries to smash him anyway. He flees through a portal to the outside but hulk just smashes through the wall. Muttering threats, Leader opens a portal to New York City…

…where he is immediately hit by a car. Recovering, he runs into Doctor Strange, Reed Richards, and Iron Man, who have tracked Strange’s Ring of Zona to find the baddie. But Hulk arrives, having leapt all the way from Latveria in seconds. Hulk smashes the ground to catch his nemesis as the heroes try to restrain him—literally, as Reed wraps the Hulk in his rubber body. It doesn’t work so they summon more heroes from the FF and Avengers. Invisible Woman ministers to the fallen Reed while creating a force field to hold Hulk while they think of a solution to their very big problem. Sue suggests teleporting him to Antarctica. Strange asks Scarlet Witch to add some special portals. So they send Hulk to the South Pole but when he tries to leap back another portal opens over him, dumping him right back on the ground. But every time he hits the ground, he makes a deeper crater, so in his frustration he begins smashing downward until he reaches Earth’s outer core, releasing the liquid metal that is the temperature of the sun. The pain only increases Hulk’s anger as he continues to smash downward….

On the surface, the geyser of molten metal shoots up so high it can be seen from anywhere on Earth. Reed Richards recognizes it for what it is, “not just the end of life on this world, it’s the end of everything.” And Hulk keeps smashing in his rage….
