- A Titan Lurks Among Us! - After taking a closer examination of the art, Nick Caputo concurs that Ralph Reese is the inker. Nick had previously listed Bill Everett as a possible inker.
- A Titan Walks Among Us! - Xemnu the Titan previously appeared in Monsters on the Prowl (Marvel, 1971 series) #11 and #14, reprints of Journey Into Mystery (Marvel, 1952 series) #62 and #66. This was the first encounter between the Hulk and Xemnu. Xemnu was originally called the Hulk when he debuted two years before the Bruce Banner/Hulk.
