Heh. Remembering Roger Stern saying every issue of THE FLASH should contain 100 two panel stories.

Frank Miller did a good Hulk -- more like Ditko's than Kirby's, especially those Karloff eyes.

Not that I over-thought as a kid, but I did used to wonder how anyone could possibly stop Flash, Silver Surfer and Doctor Strange? They seemed to have the tools to repel all threats.

All I want in life - all I ever wanted - was a Hulk/Lizard fight. I'd sell all my possessions for that!

JB's definition of immortality is spot-on, it sounds like what you currently have is ZOMBIE-HULK.

He was zombie-Hulk in a recent Avengers event (Hawkeye killed Bruce Banner to prevent him from becoming the Hulk again, the Hand got involved, long story) but the Hulk walked it off.
The status quo now is:
- Bruce Banner is still smart but not one of the world's smartest by a long stretch;
- Hulk might well be smarter than Banner (at least Bruce thinks he might be) and he's certainly aware of things going on while Banner is in charge;
- Banner has been killed once, put in a morgue, and Hulk walked out at dusk;
- the world thought Banner was dead but is realizing that he's back; and
- Hulk is now wandering around dealing out gamma-powered justice.
Yeah, that's a thing now.

It's like "Touched by a Hulk."

Banner is still a brilliant scientist, just not quite a comic-book super-scientist.
He thinks the Hulk might be smarter than him? I don't remember the panel where Banner thinks that.
(Also -- the reason Banner/Hulk is alive mainly has to do with the work of an Elder of the Universe during the "No Surrender" storyline in THE AVENGERS.)

Fans of Kirby's Hulk should check out the
Monsters Unleashed one shot, with Hulk and
Devil Dinosaur. Eric Powell is the artist
and does a pretty faithful version of
Kirby's Hulk. My all time favorite artist
who I think honors Kirby's version yet
makes it his own is Lee Weeks. He has
become my all time favorite Hulk artist
who sadly has only drawn him for a handful
of issues.

After Spider-Man (all-time favorite) and Batman (close runner-up), the Hulk has long been a favorite of mine. It's so sad that I can point to comics starring him over the last decade as one of the main reasons why I gave up the weekly hobby. What I've seen and read is unrecognizable to me. Too many incarnations. Too many crappy spinoffs and variants. Too many people trying to turn him into something that he is not. Almost (almost) feels like that time in the 90s when we got a Punisher that was an Angel of Vengeance (Link) or the decade or more in the 90s that Marvel didn't know what to do with Ghost Rider. It's absolutely like what they've done with Wolverine.

Adam, look at issue 2. Banner has a thought balloon where he is evaluating his own decline in intellect and, right after, considers that the Hulk might be smarter than he is now.
I'll review the issue itself when I get home but I'm pretty certain it's there, maybe during his long ode to pancakes.
