As Eldest's plans draw Hulk ever nearer to Las Vegas, she remembers a time thousands of years ago and the terrible empire she ruled then -- until her fateful encounter with the first Hulk, Enkidu, brought it all to ruin and made them enemies forever! Can Eldest use Enkidu's flesh to finally open the Mother of Horrors' Divine Prison, or will the power of the Green Door be too much even for her? Meanwhile, with Bruce Banner seemingly locked away forever inside the Hulkscape, the Hulk reaches Sumanguru's prophesied "Paradise of Sin" Las Vegas, where Charlie Tidwell's only hope lies with Eldest and the profane cult of skinwalkers who worship her. Will Eldest keep her end of the bargain and resurrect Charlie? And what will Charlie become on the other side?
