Synopsis for "Like a Beast At Bay!"

With the Hulk about to attack the gigantic humanoid, Rick rushes to stop the Hulk before he gets caught in the explosion of the giant "Sunday Punch" missile deployed by General Ross. Hulk finally hears Rick's warning and he grabs the boy and tries to escape. The missile meets it's mark, hitting the humanoid and exploding, and while Rick and the Hulk were clear of the explosion itself the two are rocked by the shockwave. Landing on a plateau, Hulk realizes that Rick has been knocked unconcious and performs CPR on the boy to revive him.
While elsewhere, the Leader watches on his monitor as his gigantic humanoid is toppled, but as the military tries to take custody of the gigantic android, the Leader causes it to self destruct. The Leader then decides to try to either make the Hulk his ally, or destroy him.
The Military meanwhile spots the Hulk making his escape with the revived Rick Jones, and manages to follow the two to Banner's secret lab, where they have the two cornered. In spite of the Hulks defensive attacks, hurling rocks at the military personel, Ross orders an airstrike on the base and orders the Hulk to surrender or else be bomed from above. The Hulk, not wanting to put Rick in danger sends the boy out to saftey and prepares for the worst. At that moment, the mental image of the Leader appears and appeals to the Hulk to be his ally as he has the means to teleport the Hulk out of his current perdicament, giving the Hulk just moments to decide. This story is continued next issue...
