Story by Bill Mantlo. Art by Sal Buscema. Frank Miller cover. Deep in space two centuries ago a decisive battle between the forces of good and evil was fought. The brave Spaceknights of Galador defeated the evil sorcery and super-science of the Dire Wraiths and scattered them to the furthest reaches of the galaxy. Now in present day their eternal struggle has spilled over to Earth. Rom, greatest of the Spaceknights, has arrived in Clairton, a small West Virginia town. Frightened by the arrival of a 7' alien, the people of Clairton have called in the National Guard. Can Rom convince those he came to save that the true enemy resides in their very ranks? 32 pages. Cover price $0.40

In the present, the Hulk retaliates against Zom and urges the other Hulks to go save Marlo. Zom, without Strange to hold him back, he unleashes his full power against the Hulk. Abomination joins in too, destroying the Hulks' stone ship. Red She-Hulk attacks him, deciding to get some well-earned payback. Though Abomination would relish killing her against, he leaves to find Marlo. Luckily, Bruce Banner can guess that since Zom doesn't have Strange's full magical capabilities, they can beat him to Marlo. He then tosses a cell phone to A-Bomb.

In Phoenix, Arizona, Marlo receives A-Bomb's call, who is wandering about, noticing the living sleeping while the long dead walk the Earth. Demons then emerge from the ground to get at her. Some cowboys try protecting her -- albeit, poorly. Luckily, Banner and Skaar cobble together a teleporter with stone tech and save her. Marlo notices A-Bomb's injuries. But when she embraces him, the latter suddenly bursts out with blood, which hit the teleporter and destroys it. Banner advises Marlo that since she has a piece of Death, she mustn't touch the near dead.

An hour later, Skaar puts together a bunker to protect Marlo. But realizing that they may be going against impossible odds, Marlo decides to use her Death powers to summon up some help, like Doc Samson, Jarella, Glenn Talbot and Hiroim. Everybody but Red She-Hulk have a tearful reunion. Samson informs Red She-Hulk that the Talbot who deceived her was, in fact, a robot. Just as Talbot apologizes for being a bad husband and Red She-Hulk turns back into Betty, Zom, and Abomination attack. Marlo and A-bomb take shelter in the bunker while the Hulks and their allies hold off their foes. But just when it seems that they're actually winning, to jinx things, Abomination summons the Hulk's mother and father, the latter having turned into a monstrous version of Devil Hulk.
