Continued from last issue... The Hulk is being attacked by Bruce Banner's Gamma Base replacement, Konrad Zaxon. Zaxon has built a suit of armor and a weapon to siphon the Hulk's powers in a scheme to try and take over the world. However, during the fight with the Hulk, Zaxon is over powered and his weapon is knocked from his hands, it's beam is directed at Zaxon killing him instantly. Military police arrive shortly and attack the Hulk for killing Zaxon, the Hulk flees the scene.
Meanwhile aboard a train bound for Hollywood, Hercules and his new agent are discussing the hiring of Hercules to act in motion pictures. The two discuss the potential publicity if Hercules were to battle the Hulk. As coincidences will have it, the Hulk (fleeing the Air Force) ends up damaging the stretch of track the train carrying Hercules is on.
The two end up battling each other, both able to withstand the attacks of the other, the fight is evenly matched until the Air Force finds the Hulk and drops bombs on the two of them. Both men survive, however the Hulk retreats into the desert hoping to escape his tormentors. As the Hulk hides in a cave, Hercules helps move his train past the damaged part of the railroad so that it can continue it's course to Hollywood.
