Without the full context of the entire comic, that, uh, sure seemed to escalate quickly.
Cryin' out loud, Betty. It's only Glenn Talbot.

As sensitive and in-depth exploration of the effects of bereavement as only Steve Englehart can provide.


"Well, because of the Hulk, Betty's life has been a cavalcade of misery and suffering, so naturally a visit from me is just the thing to cheer her up."
- Bruce Banner, displaying the same genius that designed a big ass bomb without a simple off switch.
Never mind his choice of opening line.


(so this is where that scene of Betty yelling she hates Bruce in that flashback in Immortal Hulk came from.)

"You look fine, Betty! That 'catatonic electrocution victim' look is the new heroin chic!"

Some real accidental karma for Ross here, he might not have ordered Talbot straight to his death, but he's done enough other stuff that it's hard to say he hasn't earned this treatment. Also, that panel of Betty slapping him is HILARIOUS.
