Hulk: Where Monsters Dwell

---

1

Hurry up, guys.

They're giving out full-sized candy

bars over on Thompson Street.

Yeah!

Let's go.

- Candy.

- Hey, wait up!

Go on. Knock.

Why don't you?

No way, this place is haunted.

You guys are so chicken.

Todd's cousin said he saw a

guy ride up on a motorcycle,

and his head was on fire.

Forget that.

Our brave

little pirate will knock,

won't he?

Uh...

You're not scared, are you?

Hey!

Now go on.

Fist on the door.

Make a knocking sound.

Would you hurry up

before Halloween is over?

Trick

or

Treat?

What is that thing?

My candy!

By the Ruby Rings of Raggadorr,

I bind and contain thee!

Whoa.

That was amazing!

Who cares?

I lost all of my candy

inside that creep-o house!

Well, let's get it back.

I need something more resilient.

Mmm-hmm.

Perfect.

I changed my mind.

No candy's worth this.

By the Ruby Rings of Raggadorr,

and this bubblegum,

I bind and contain thee.

Return to the chamber from

whence you escaped. Whoa.

That was strange.

Doctor Strange, if you please.

Hey.

Thanks, Captain, for the use

of your bubblegum.

Um...

You're welcome.

Now, then, who wants candy?

Come, come, don't be shy.

I'm getting out of here!

It's gonna be

a long Halloween night.

Huh.

Stay away from us!

You guys stay put.

I got some smashing to do.

Did that monster just save us?

That ain't no monster.

That's the Hulk.

Whoa.

I summon

the Flames of the Faltine.

Stand back, creature,

or face the fury of

the Seven Suns of...

Welcome, Hulk.

Thank you for answering

my mystic summons.

Got your hands full, huh, Doc?

Shield of the Seraphim,

protect me!

These may no longer be the

delicate hands of a neurosurgeon,

but they're still quite capable.

One caveat.

We need to

contain these monsters,

not destroy them.

Don't know what "caveat" means.

How about I just

smash them senseless?

And that's why I summoned you.

By the Ruby Rings of Raggadorr,

I bind and contain thee.

I promise

I'll free you soon, Benito,

and stop the fiend

who did this to you.

Awesome!

Did you see that?

Ugh. Gross.

Stupid bug snot.

Really gross.

And it got in my eye!

Yeah, hit him!

Cool!

Huh?

Huh?

What's happening?

Oh, man, who's the little guy?

Is he snoring?

Stay back!

I summon the Icy

Tendrils of Ikthalon.

You creatures will be safe

inside the Sanctum,

till I can free you

all from this curse.

That's it? The Hulk turns into

some guy and falls asleep?

Lame.

Let's get more candy.

You're still a hero to me.

Come on. Let's go!

Dr. Banner?

Bruce?

Rise and shine.

Well, you're no good

to anyone like this.

What?

Doctor Strange?

Where am I? What's going on?

To answer

your questions in order,

yes, Greenwich Village,

outside my Sanctum Sanctorum,

and you're apparently

quite asleep.

So, I'm dreaming?

No, I'm using a spell to commune

with your unconscious mind.

But I can see, I can hear.

Even in an alpha wave state,

I shouldn't be this aware

of my surroundings.

This is why I deplore

working with scientists.

Everything

requires an explanation.

You're not gonna

give me the old,

"Magic is just science we don't

understand yet," are you?

Has it ever occurred

to you, Dr. Banner,

that science is just magic

we don't understand yet?

The point is,

I summoned you because I

needed the Hulk's help

to contain some

aggressive creatures.

I don't remember any of that.

And yet,

in the very heat of battle,

Hulk disappeared

and there you were,

sound asleep.

So now it's my turn

to require an explanation.

Usually I remember everything

the big guy does,

but lately I've woken up

several times

with no memory of

where I am or how I...

Don't look now, but here come some

of those aggressive creatures.

Oh. No, those are...

Dr. Banner?

Hulk, wait.

Don't worry, Doc, I remember.

Contain, not destroy.

Hey, what's your problem,

jolly green jerk?

My problem is you

attacking my friend Strange!

Hulk, you don't understand.

Nobody sucker punches Warwolf.

Warwolf...

Stand down!

That's the Hulk.

He's an Avenger, not a hostile.

He looks pretty hostile to me.

Maybe a little mesmerizing

gaze will slow your roll.

Stay out of Hulk's head!

As you may have

gathered, Ms. Price,

hypnosis makes him angry.

Agent Jasper

SITWELL of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Pursuant to

protocols outlined in...

Since when does

S.H.I.E.L.D. hire zombies?

Huh?

Uh... Oops.

Hey!

Odd,

that shouldn't be happening.

Stop this, Man-Thing.

Release him at once.

Hmm?

Man, I thought

the other guy was gross.

Are you trying

to eat me, zombie?

Hulk, these aren't monsters,

they're friends.

Tell that to the zombie.

Let's do this old-school.

Snack time, Jasper.

Thank you, Nina.

Enough!

I ain't done with you, Greenie!

Warwolf, stand down.

Stand down.

Warwolf,

what have we discussed about

keeping our animal rage in check?

What? He's the Hulk.

Ain't my fault he picked

the worst possible time

to turn back into the puny guy.

Indeed.

Almost as if

someone planned it that way.

Still sleeping?

Still sleeping.

So, this spell,

does it mainly act on the limbic

system or are we dealing with...

I beg of you not to go

there again, Dr. Banner.

Besides, I'd like you

to formally meet some friends,

and I stress the word,

"Friends."

They were referred to me

by Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D.

I've been helping them deal

with their shared condition.

PFT! Condition.

Spit it out, Doc.

We're monsters.

Some more than others.

Hey, loud and proud, baby.

Dr. Banner, may I introduce

Warwolf,

Nina Price.

Vampire by Night.

Man-Thing.

I wouldn't shake

his hand if I were you.

Point taken.

And Agent

Jasper SITWELL of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Commanding Officer of the

Paranormal Containment Unit.

And don't forget, Zombie.

That is not something

I'm at liberty to discuss.

He's afraid if Fury finds

out he's a zombie,

he'll get demoted.

We can usually

keep him from going

total living-dead

with some snacks.

Uh... What kind of snacks?

Trust me,

you don't want to know.

Ahem, ahem. As I said,

I've been working with the

Paranormal Containment Unit...

Which is a stupid name,

by the way.

To help them overcome personal

issues and function as a team.

Yeah, it's an encounter group

for monsters.

Is that hilarious or what?

It's nice of you to include me,

but I don't think I belong here.

I'm fine with who I am.

Amen, brother.

No, seriously I don't have

a problem with the Hulk.

I can bring him out,

or not, anytime I want.

Wow. Must be nice,

Mr. Part-time Monster.

I'm not trying

to offend anybody.

I'm just saying that I've got

the green guy under control.

In light of recent events,

perhaps that control

is merely an illusion.

But that's not why I've

called you all here tonight.

As Halloween nears,

the barriers between dimensions

become thinner, more permeable.

In particular,

the boundary between

the Dream Dimension

and our waking world

is at its weakest

on All Hallows' Eve.

Some days ago, I became

aware of an evil influence
