Hulk: Where Monsters Dwell Page #4

---

People count on me.

My team counts on me.

And right when I'm about to

smash some evil guy's face in,

Banner shows up!

And always at the most

inopportune time.

Yeah, that's right.

Some rotten luck, huh, Doc.

Not luck at all, my friend.

I believe you may have fallen under

Nightmare's influence as well.

Nobody influences the Hulk.

Man-Thing,

if you would please.

- I

- saw your reaction earlier,

and now this confirms it.

Whoever knows fear burns at

the touch of the Man-Thing.

Hey, I ain't afraid of nothing.

Perhaps not.

But what about Banner?

Who cares about that puny loser?

I'm the hero.

Banner keeps showing up

where he ain't wanted.

That's the problem.

And the big green monster

turns into a normal human

who can walk down the street without

people running and screaming.

Where do I sign up

for that problem?

I ain't a monster. I'm a hero.

That's enough, Man-Thing.

I think I have

all the information I need.

I summon the Mists of Morpheus.

Clearly, Nightmare is tampering

with Banner's transformations

by tapping into some extremely

powerful subconscious fears.

But to what end,

I'm not sure yet.

I'll have to enter

Banner's sleeping mind

and confront Nightmare

one more time.

And you called in the Paranormal

Containment Unit for backup

while you go behind enemy lines.

Not a problem, Doctor.

We're ready to face down

anything Nightmare throws at us.

And blast the living

daylights out of it.

I'm glad to hear that.

Because I have an even more

important duty for your team.

So, you need us to houses it

while you're gone.

While I'm in

the Dream Dimension,

my physical body will be

completely vulnerable to attack.

We understand, Doctor.

We'll ensure your safety

during the mission.

And we'll babysit your pet

monsters, no worries.

Nobody's getting in

or out of here tonight.

Thank you.

These talismans will allow us to

contact one another

should the need arise.

It's sort of

a mystical walkie-talkie.

I just hope I'm not too late.

What are we doing here?

I take it

you recognize this place?

It's the Gamma Base.

Birthplace of the Hulk,

where I...

Let's just say

a lot happened here.

Not here, precisely speaking.

This is part of the Dream

Dimension, shaped by your memories

and impressions.

So none of this is real?

Well, I didn't say that.

Take this talisman.

It will allow us to locate one

another should we become separated.

The Dream Dimension

can be disorienting.

Five.

Four.

Three.

Two.

One.

You might want to cover

your eyes for this part.

No, that's impossible.

Shield of the Seraphim,

protect us!

But how can he be here

when I'm here?

You share a consciousness.

And the Dream Dimension operates
