Ahh, you're totally right, I forgot that bit and the footnote. My cruel prejudice for the irrelevence of MTU stories from this period (doesn't Hercules tie a chain to Manhattan and take it for a walk in the next issue???) most likely jaded my memory.

But it could be a tuff call. Since they didn't figure to include Hulk #166 in Vol. 2, what with it showing Hulk teaming up with puny bowman, Hawkeye, against Zzzax which led right into Defenders #7...well who knows?

The MTU ish IS written by Len Wein, same guy who wrote Defenders 17-19, so he obviously planned it this way. There is room for it...there is room for MANY in these bumber-crop Defenders collections!!
