Continuity Notes
- This story mentions that Banner has ended up in LA following his encounters with the Defenders, Daredevil and Iron Man. This is specifically referencing Defenders #69–87, Daredevil #163 and Iron Man #131–133.
- This story references Bob’s possession of It, the Living Colossus in Monsters on the Prowl #25. Actually, these stories were originally published in Tales of Suspense #14 and 20. Those stories were reprinted in Monsters on the Prowl #17 and 25.
- Link’s attempt to take control of the Living Colossus happened in Astonishing Tales #21–24.
- Felix Simon states that he was in a film titled The Emmy in 1963. This should be considered a topical reference per the Sliding Timescale of Earth-616.
- Although It, the Living Colossus is destroyed here it is eventually restored in Avengers Two: Wonder Man & Beast #2. However, it shouldn’t be confused with the robot built by Bob O’Bryan in Wonder Man Annual #2.
- Hulk’s next appearances are in Hulk! #19, Defenders #75-91, Marvel Two-In-One Annual #5, and She-Hulk #1.
