As spectators flee, Iron Man battles the Hulk in a circus
tent. While Shellhead tries to reason with Jade Jaws between attacks, Ant-Man
sends his ant swarm to keep the big guy distracted. Hulk rips open a crevasse
in the ground and Iron Man falls in, then he rushes to shield his circus friend
Bea from a falling platform. Iron Man erupts from the ground below and Bea
allows Hulk to depart. Iron Man pursues….
On the Isle of Silence, Thor confronts Loki. Balls of plasma
erupt from the ground, clinging to Thor and sapping his willpower. Loki shields
himself in a wall of crystal but Thor easily shatters it with a blow from
Mjolnir; all the while Loki vents, saying the usual supervillain stuff. The God
of Evil reveals that he has promised Thor to the trolls for their allegiance
and a huge brute comes to collect….
The fleeing Hulk arrives in Denver
but Iron Man is right behind him; the two crash into the lab of a munitions
factory. Hulk, finally fed up with the harassment starts fighting in earnest

over the edge. Hulk thunderclaps them away (as well as blowing out all the
windows in the building). Meanwhile, Wasp has discovered a containment unit
which might come in handy….
Thor slays the troll but Loki mocks Thor’s arrogant need to
avenge every slight done to him. Loki then brings the war: a multitude of Lokis
to battle the God of Thunder….
