Synopsis for "The Mighty Thor Battle the Incredible Hulk!"

While flying through the city, Thor happens upon two groups of children arguing over the who is the stronger between Thor and the Hulk. Interested in the debate, Thor lands to see what all the commotion is about, and the children ask him if he knows who is the stronger of the two.
Thor recounts for them his last encounter with the Hulk (which occurred in Avengers #3) however, goes into a part of the story that was not previously recorded.
In Thor's recounting of the events, he and the Hulk get separated from the Avengers and the Sub-Mariner during their battle. Realizing the Hulks strength, Thor asks Odin to lift the enchantment that makes Thor change into Don Blake after being kept from his hammer for 60 seconds so he can pit his strength against the Hulk.
Odin grants Thor's wish, giving him five minutes time free of the enchantment that binds his power to his hammer however it makes Thor's hammer vulnerable to damage and able to be picked up by anybody, which causes the Hulk to attempt to destroy it, which keeps Thor on the defensive during the battle.
During their combat, the integrity of the cavern Thor and Hulk are fighting in caves in, covering the Hulk with tons of rock. Right about that time the five minutes Odin granted Thor are up. Thor smashes through the rubble to continue his fight with the Hulk but found that the green monster had escaped.
Thor attempts to follow the Hulk, but cannot find a trace of him, the test to see who's the strongest is inconclusive. Thor rejoins his comrades and battle Namor, until the Hulk arrives again.
Thor stops his story there explaining that there is nothing more to tell, and explains that he has no proof that he's stronger than the Hulk and therefor won't make such a claim and flies off. Meanwhile else where the Hulk turns his thoughts to Thor as well wondering when next they'll clash.
