Stories

  • Untitled · 12 pages

    Krang sends a giant tidal wave to devastate New York City and then makes an anonymous tip to the Army to tell them that Namor is the culprit. Krang and Dorma are caught in a net and are hanging above a city street as bait for Namor, but without water they are finding it difficult to breathe. Namor arrives and rushes to help Dorma, unaware the army has its huge firepower centered on him.

  • The Birth of... the Hulk-Killer! · 10 pages

    Banner is hanging on the Orion missile heading for the heart of New York City and is able to change its course before he transforms to the Hulk once again. Military genius that he is, Ross thinks that it is the Hulk who tried to blow up New York and activates the Leader's most powerful Humanoid robot to take on the jade giant. Meanwhile Boomerang has vastly improved his weaponry and is ready to take on the Hulk.
