In illiquid alternative asset markets, sovereign blue-chip holdings trade at an exponential multiple over mid-grade float due to institutional accumulation and inelastic seller reservation prices.
Prince Byrrah, cousin to the Sub-Mariner, returns to Atlantis and makes his bid for power. He addresses the Atlantean citizenry and accuses Namor of being a warmonger who would rather wage endless conflict against those like Attuma or Warlord Krang, rather than attempt to forge an alliance with them. He quickly curries favor amongst his fellow Atlanteans, and they demand a plebiscite. Lord Vashti, fiercely loyal to the Prince, swims to the Rock of Meditation and tells Namor the news. The Sub-Mariner refuses to believe that the people of Atlantis could ever rally behind a coward such as Byrrah, and he hastens back to the council amphitheater. Namor openly criticizes Byrrah, and as a result, Byrrah demands satisfaction by way of trial by combat. Vashti and Dorma warn Namor against fighting with Byrrah. They know that Byrrah is too treacherous to fight fairly and that he has surely laid a trap. Namor reminds them that he is a prince of the blood, and as such he cannot fail against Byrrah. The two enter the field of combat, but Byrrah has already prepared the area with concealed weaponry. The two fight one another, and Byrrah manages to weaken Namor with a poison-tipped blade. The citizens viewing the spectacle are unaware of Byrrah's schemes and believe that he defeats Namor fairly. Afterward, they hoist Byrrah upon their shoulders in devout adoration. Byrrah is confident that he will now win the throne of Atlantis. This story is continued next issue...

Namor's cousin wins the favor of the populace of Atlantis as well as the Atlantean council by belittling the regime of the Sub-Mariner as violent and unstable. He challenges Namor to single combat for the right to rule and no one is more surprised than the avenging son when his powers desert him during the fight and Byrrah handily wins.

The Stranger leaves earth with the rampaging Hulk left behind to wreak destruction on his behalf. Turning back into his alter ego, Banner surrenders himself to Gamma base and tries to kill himself with radiation to stop the Hulk's destruction. Stopped before he can use his gamma machine, the machine is instead used by a foreign spy who is transformed into the Abomination. More powerful than even the Hulk, Abomination beats the jade giant down and kidnaps Betty as he escapes from the base.
