With the cover by John Romita capturing the clash in bold, dynamic lines, this issue showcases the Hulk’s raw might and the surprising arrival of Hercules—riding a train the Hulk himself just dismantled—leading to a showdown that ends in a standstill, not a conclusion.
In "The Titan and the Torment," the Hulk faces off against the scheming Zaxon, who seeks to drain his strength for his own dark purposes—only to meet a swift end in the process. With his freedom restored, the Hulk takes on a squadron of fighter jets, sending train tracks flying before a surprise encounter with Hercules, who’s riding the very locomotive he just wrecked.
Namor seeks an unlikely ally in his ongoing war with the surface world—turning to the Hulk, only to find his old enemy already under the Puppet Master’s control. With the tide of battle shifting, Namor must confront not just the Hulk’s rage, but the mind that’s manipulating him.
In "Many Foes Has the Hulk," the Leader unleashes a mental enhancing machine designed to flood the Hulk’s path with every villain he’s ever faced in a single day—each one appearing at once, determined to overwhelm the Green Goliath. With no time to catch his breath, the Hulk must face the full weight of his past foes, testing his strength and resolve like never before.
In a pivotal moment from *Marvel Treasury Edition* #5, Ross enlists the brilliant but unorthodox Dr. Samson to harness the Hulk’s power and free Betty from her crystalline state—while also seeking to end Bruce Banner’s transformation once and for all. When the experiment succeeds, the results bring unexpected consequences, as Samson’s growing bond with Betty stirs a long-buried jealousy in Bruce, reigniting the rage within.
In "Cry: Monster," the Hulk and the Thing find themselves stranded in a forgotten New Mexico ghost town, forced into a brutal fight by the cunning Leader and the enigmatic Kurrgo. Trapped in a deadly game of survival, their strength and will are pushed to the limit in a desert arena where every shadow holds a threat.
