Description
Hulk finds Namor unconscious, and summons Doctor Strange for help. The Master of the Mystic Arts arrives to find out that the Sub-Mariner is surrounded by a mystical barrier. Suddenly, a small humanoid sorcerer called Necrodamus shows up and explains them his mission: kill Namor to avenge his master, the Nameless One. Necrodamus vanishes, promising to return in one hour. Hulk and Doctor Strange try breaking the barrier in vain. Necrodamus returns and takes Namor to a cavern. Hulk and Strange find the path to the caverns, but they are attacked by the Demon of the Dark. Hulk defeats the monster and reaches Necrodamus. All of this is been witnessed by the Nameless One from his dimension. Necrodamus increases his size and battles the green giant, stabbing him with a magical blade. Doctor Strange realizes that the mystical barrier is permeable to air, so he introduces water vapor in it. The condensed water wakes Namor up, who breaks the barrier that was weaker from the inside. The Sub-Mariner attacks Necrodamus while a wounded Hulk, turns into Bruce Banner. To kill Namor, Necrodamus needed an exact alignment of stars. But Banner is able to avoid the sacrifice just in time. Angry, Necrodamus shrinks and vanishes.
