Story #2Dark Son Chapter Three Earth
Writer: Greg Pak. Penciler: Tom Raney. Inker: Scott Hanna. Colorist: John Rauch.
Synopsis / Summary / Plot
Hiro-Kala, wielding the Old Power and the Worldming Energies, approaches the Earth on a meteorite, along with his fleet of Zombie K'aitians, and planet K'ai itself.
Skaar feels Hiro-Kala's presence, learning that he has got a brother... Meanwhile, the
Hulk and the
Red She-Hulk literally fight over their differences.
While that's happening, Reed Richards, Tony Stark, Amadeus Cho, and the Beast discover that the Solar System has a new planet (K'ai). Cho provides Captain America intel, and using a hologram presence, invites the Hulk to lead a research team about the newly found K'ai planet.
But Skaar tells his dad to decline, which he does in a very Hulkish way (destroying the spaceship offered by Cap).
Captain America tries recruiting A-Bomb (Rick Jones, former Cap's sidekick), but he also declines.
When the patrotic super soldier leaves, Skaar tells the Hulk about Hiro-Kala. Learning he has a new son brings tears into the Hulk's eyes, but also anger since Hiro-Kala is a true and terrible monster.
