Stories

Outside the Gates Waits.. Death! · 12 pages
As the new ruler of Atlantis, Byrrah has Namor arrested and sent to the dreaded Inferno Isle. Namor battles the lava monster that lives there and returns to Atlantis to seek his vengeance. In Atlantis, Dorma has found Byrrah's hypnosis machine that won him the throne and uses it to turn the Atlantean allegiance back to Namor. Despising Byrrah for his failure, Attuma and Krang cast him out. Attuma turns his supreme weapon upon Atlantis, agreeing with Krang that Atlantis must be destroyed before they can rule it. Namor arrives in time to destroy the machine and route his enemies.
Whosoever Harms the Hulk..! · 10 pages
Ross and his men try to revive the Hulk after his beating by the Abomination. Returning from the brink of death, Hulk is about to leave when the pleading Rick Jones causes him to transform back to Banner. Banner uses his knowledge to lure Abomination back to Gamma Base with Betty in tow. Hulk and Abomination clash once again. Watching from a distant galaxy, the Stranger realizes that the Abomination is a much better choice than the Hulk and zaps him to his side, ending the battle.
