On their quest to recover
Namor’s stolen body, Namor (in
Rick Jones’ body), the
incredible Hulk, and
Doctor Strange arrive at the Pan-Dimensional Publishing Building to confront the source of the demonic encounters. All seems quiet until Hulk discovers the mangled hat of a security guard. They enter the building stealthily and split up to search the building. Almost immediately Dr. Strange encounters a demonized nurse and Hulk and Namor battle a monstrous bodybuilder. Namor, forgetting that he doesn’t have his normal powers in Rick Jones’ body, attacks the gigantic foe and is slapped through a wall and trapped under rubble in a swimming pool. As he’s about to drown,
King Neptune appears to him and, to aid Namor in his fight against Neptune’s ancient enemy, grants him the ability to draw strength from water. The newly powered Namor knocks out the demon and together he and Hulk rescue Dr. Strange.
Shanzar the Sorcerer, inhabiting Namor’s body, appears to taunt his enemies and explain his plan to aid a disembodied Elder Being, the
Wild One, by preparing a body for him to inhabit when he returns to this world. Shanzar then strikes Namor unconscious and takes his body through the dark doorway. Hulk pursues and finds himself plummeting to the street below. As Hulk and Dr. Strange plan their next move, the
Silver Surfer joins them. To be continued in
Silver Surfer Annual #5.
