I am really impressed by how namor took down the behemoth, but at the same time it made the behemoth underwhelming to be beaten in a single issue.
Lady dorma vowing to marry krang is big, stan promises namor will go berserk for her sake, i look forward to that.
On the Hulk front, we go underground, the mole man and tyrannus, now i remember them from very early x men, Hulk beats the octosapien machine, but the fountain of youth finally transforms him back to bruce banner, what is worrying is that bruce is still underground among enemies, not really the best place to turn into a Puny human.

TALES TO ASTONISH #60-91 (The Incredible Hulk)
Without so much as skipping a beat, Jack Kirby and Lee pick up the original The Incredible Hulk storyline that introduced the character literally exactly where it left off, as if no time had passed at all. It’s so amazing to be able to see the story continued in such a satisfactory and fittingly epic way, as so many frustrating loose ends were leftover; many incredible storylines and character arcs were left unresolved by its unceremonious cancellation.
But what’s perhaps more incredible is that white the storyline is the fittingly epic culmination of Kirby and Lee’s initial set up, finally paying off on what was originally promised, it actually spends less of its time being massive and epic as much as it spends being incredibly intimate; Bruce Banner’s refugee on-the-run storyline is a very investing one, as you genuinely want this guy to clear his name and live a normal life. But at every turn he’s denied the opportunity by the living personification of his darkest potential, each time that personification appears making his life actively worse. It’s really quite the character-study for 1960s comic-dom.
There’s a reason this is by far the greatest storyline in the history of this character; it is investing, riveting, and heartbreaking all at the same time. It is revolutionary not just in that it told one large extended storyline over the course of nearly a decade, but because that entire time it never lost sight of its intimacy.
10/10, Highly recommended.

This one is actually pretty good. Lady Dorma vows to marry krang. As she believes doing so well save Namor. The hulk is taken captive by Tryannus ( apparently he was in another comic but I forgot) T is enemies with the Mole man and T want the well of youth mole man has and is using the Hulk to get it.
