Jack Frost Nipping at Your Soul!
Storyline
Atop a snowy mountain, Hulk slips into a deep circular vent and lands in the icy domain of Jack Frost, who, sick of the human world above, has fashioned an icy world for himself. Not wanting Hulk to divulge his whereabouts Frost attacks Hulk, which proves to be a big mistake, as the green giant makes short work of Frost's domain, and causes a huge cave-in. Frost realizes his mistake and actually helps Hulk leave but is crushed under debris. Nearby, in General Ross's cabin, Betty, Fred, and Rick are surprised by the sudden entry of a wounded centaur.
