Storyline
In Japan, the Hulk makes it to volcanic island Mount Kuroishi, where he tries to rest but is tracked by Glenn Talbot in his powerful war-wagon. Talbot uses all the war-wagon's power to try to kill the Hulk but Hulk uses the magma from the suddenly exploding mountain to engulf the war-wagon, destroying it and Talbot. In New York, Rick Jones's call for help from the long-dormant Teen Brigade is answered from Brigade members all over the world.

Story Notes
Artist page credits added 2005 by Steven Tice. While the Hulk and Talbot are fighting at Mount Kuroishi, Todo Productions is making a Kaiju film nearby called "Dragon over Tokyo" featuring a giant bronze dragon attacking the city. Director Sanshiro Sugata uses the prop to stop to stop lava from the erupting volcano to save a Buddha Shrine. Sanshiro Sugata is the name of the title character from Akira Kurosawa's 1943 directorial debut film.
