Marvel characters are becoming Heralds of Galactus. Let’s break down what happens when the Hulk becomes Galactus’ latest Herald.
The story opens on the planet Willine, where Banner arrives, warning the people of Galactus’ impending arrival.
But he doesn’t just deliver a doomsday message—he provides evacuation plans, allowing civilizations to build ships to escape before Galactus consumes their worlds.
Flashing back, the story reveals how Banner became Galactus’ Herald. One day, Galactus appeared before Bruce Banner with an offer: become his new Herald.
Banner immediately recognized that this wasn’t about him—it was about the Hulk. Unlike previous Heralds, most of whom already had powers, Banner’s transformation would capitalize on the Hulk’s raw strength.
Initially resistant, Banner knew the Hulk was unpredictable and unreliable. But Galactus made an enticing deal: If Banner accepted, Earth would be forever spared from Galactus’ wrath.
The Hulk would only be sent to planets already doomed for consumption, ensuring that his power wouldn’t cause unnecessary destruction elsewhere.
Back in the present, the story moves to the planet Alyson-3, where the Avengers—Iron Man, Carol Danvers (Captain Marvel), and Vision—are helping evacuate civilians using colony ships built with Banner’s plans.
