Ok, so this might easily become the best Ultimate Mini ever.
Basically, this issue is a flash back showing us what happened to bruce after he survived his execution up to the point where Wolverine confront him (last panel of issue 1).
So this is not very straight forward storytelling.
But it's very interesting. We see Bruce trying to deal with his anger in various ways. And we see that this Hulk always kill when he goes on a rampage (as oppose to 616 Hulk who probably toppled more building than he killed people AFAIK, which is idiotic). But toward the end, it seems that Hulk is taking over bruce, of that they are fusioning somehow. We'll see.
They also acknowledge the Gray/Green issue. It seems it changes and Bruce is aware of it. Perhaps Hulk's emotional state dictate his color.
Art was OK. Hulk looks a little like Gorilla with his belly. Final panel was great and shocking. Logan says 'Hello Bruce' and Hulk answers with perfectly sound grammatical sentence. No more 'Hulk smash' in the coming issues, it seem, even though that's how he talked up until this point in this very issue. This will be interesting.
