Synopsis
Spider-Man’s fight with the Hulk has taken them under water when the Hulk accidentally compromises the integrity of a dam. However, their fight is soon interrupted when General Ross arrives with the military, and their fire power forces both combatants to part. Secretly hitching a ride back to Montreal, Spider-Man changes back into Peter Parker. When calls to check in on Gwen, she tells Peter to come back to the States as quickly as possible because Harry has had a relapse from his previous drug overdose. Peter tells her that he has to finish business in Canada but he will be back as soon as possible.
When Peter finds that he’s being trailed by someone, he changes into Spider-Man and confronts them. The man explains that he was hired by Dr. Octopus to seek out Mr. Rimbau (the man Peter had come to see in Canada), prompting Peter to go and see the man as quickly as possible. Rushing to the site of the ’67 Expo where Rimeau was discussing some business to put a new building Peter, Rimbeau, and his secretary are attacked by the Hulk. Peter changes into Spider-Man and battles the Hulk until the military scares him off again.
Changing back to Peter Parker, Peter is met by Rimbeau who has important information to tell him when he’s suddenly shot by a mysterious shooter and dies. With no leads to follow, Peter can do nothing but return home.

Synopsis
Mikas reveals that his master is Mr. Kline and that his true purpose is the destruction of Tony Stark. At Stark Industries, Kevin O’Brien is investigating Tony’s disappearance. He dons the Guardsman armor which Tony made for him in case of an emergency and enters a rocket craft to fly to Washington. In Mikas’ realm, Iron Man tries to get Marianne to assist him, but she doesn’t seem to recognize him. As Mikas gloats, Mr. Kline’s image appears to remind him that he is the real master. Mikas overpowers Iron Man and beats him to the ground. Iron Man calls out to Marianne for help and she begins to waver. When Mikas tries to assert his control over Marianne he turns her against him instead. As Marianne tries to help the fallen Iron Man, Mikas sends them to a palatial locale and they find themselves over a pit containing the immense snake Doomprayer. Iron Man unleashes all the power he has left to destroy both Mikas and Doomprayer, then collapses. While Marianne clutches Iron Man’s body, the Guardsman arrives, brings Iron Man and Marianne aboard the rocket craft and remarks that the seeming-demon realm they were in was only a set; he turns the craft back toward New York.

Starr wakes in his own world and relates a dream to his faithful minstrel wherein he struck down a grave threat to his life.
