Rating:

Bruce Banner is falling to his death. The treacherous god Loki has changed him back from his Hulk personae while attempting to jump across a chasm. His falling form is sighted by the Enchantress who spares his life, hoping to gain information about her beloved Hercules. Her ally, the Executioner, voices his objections to no avail. Seeing no sign that their host has survived the fall, the Asgardian Warriors Three, Fandral, Hogun and Volstagg, resume their quest to find Oldar the Oracle to get information about the green behemoth’s origin.

The oracle chronicles the event which led to the creation of the Hulk and his following brushes with the army and humanity at large, including conflicts with Thor and the Silver Surfer. The oracle’s vision leads the warriors to believe that the Hulk may have survived his fall into the void and warns them of an impending doom for Asgard.

Meanwhile, as Bruce Banner showed himself to be of no real help to the Enchantress, the Executioner left him at his mercy. The Executioner witnesses the transformation of the confused human into his monstrous counterpart, the Hulk. A fight ensues, during which the Executioner tries to weaken the Hulk with the mystical powers of his axe. The monster retaliates by throwing him at his oncoming troops of Trolls. The monster brings the house down to escape.

Then, the Enchantress convinces the Executioner that it is time to start their plan of conquering Asgard. The hordes of Trolls soon leave for the surface, only to be followed closely by the Hulk. The Hulk hurls himself at the Trolls, widening the chasm to send the troops back to their subterranean dwellings. As an act of vengeance, the Enchantress uses a spell which kills the Hulk (!)

Odin the All-Father then gives the gift of life back on the behemoth, only to find himself threatened by the Hulk. Fandral begs his lord not to harm the Hulk, and Odin simply sends the creature back home using his royal scepter.

Also in this story (in flashbacks): Igor Starsky, Rick Jones.

Mistakes: Odin calls Hogun, Fandral, and Fandral, Balder, and Fandral calls Hogun, Fandral.
