Stories

Beyond the Border Lurks Death! · 20 pages
The Hulk stumbles across a remote cabin in Canada where Hank McCoy is trying to cure the Mimic of a condition which is making his powers go out of control. The heroes fight, and Mimic temporarily absorbs the gamma radiation out of the Hulk, killing Mimic in the process. The Hulk gains back his strength and leaves.

Publisher’s description

Still riled by Betty’s marriage, Hulk pays a not-so-friendly visit to Canada. Will Beast of the X-Men be able to talk, (or smack) some sense into Ol’ Greenskin? And will Beast be able to keep his true appearance secret from Vera Cantor?
