NotesThe story supposedly starts where the last issue left off. However, the two scenes do not really match. In the last scene of the previous issue, the Hulk was attacked by 7 members of the Defenders for a Day: Black Goliath, Havok, Iron Fist, Polaris, Stingray, Tagak, and Torpedo. In the opening scene of this issue, the Hulk fights 5 members of the Defenders for a Day: Black Goliath, Havok, Prowler, Stingray, and Torpedo. Iron Fist, Polaris, and Tagak seem to have disappeared between issues. Prowler has appeared out of nowhere. There seems to be a coloring mistake in the second panel of page 6. During a gathering of the Defenders, a female character is seen standing next to Nighthawk. She has the Cat Suit's ears, but has long blond hair and wears a black uniform. This seems to be a discolored Hellcat, who is typically red-haired and wears a yellow uniform. The only other female Defenders at the time were Valkyrie (who is seen standing next to Hercules), Ms. Marvel (who is seen standing next to Nova), and Polaris (who is missing from the panel, but wears a much different costume).
