The Start of the Quest - Prince Namor returns from his trip to the surface (depicted in Daredevil, Vol. 1 #7) and finds that Krang has usurped his kingdom during his absence. With Dorma's help, he escapes enprisonment, and heads out on a quest for Neptune's trident to prove his worth as king.

To Live Again! - Rick Jones has stolen Bruce Banner's body, with the hopes of turning him back into the Hulk to save his life. It works, and Hulk retains Banner's mind in the process. He tries to help the U.S. military fight the Leader's latest Humanoid, but they assume Hulk is in league with the enemy and open fire on both targets.
