Overview

This issue takes place right before Incredible Hulk #106

She-Hulk # 18 concludes the "Planet Without a Hulk" storyline and with it, Jen Walters finally confronts Iron Man for his involvement in her cousin's disappearance!

As an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D and a registered super-hero, Jen Walters serves under Tony Stark, but his actions against the Hulk have made her mad. And like any other green blooded Hulk family member (okay, the only other green blooded Hulk family member) you do not want to see her angry. She can be hard to handle when she's green.

Writer Dan Slott, artist Rick Burchett, and cover artist Greg Horn bring you the undercard match of the year. Jen "the Savage She-Hulk" Walters vs. Tony "the Invincible Iron Man" Stark! And hey, if She-Hulk can't take Iron Man down, her cousin is up next!

Unfortunately for Iron Man and the rest of the Illuminati, the Hulk isn't as far away as they would like. As a matter of fact…he's very close to home. Pick up She-Hulk # 18, as the Marvel Universe moves one step closer to the Hulk's return. Retailers are advised to check their orders on this issue as it directly ties in to the upcoming World War Hulk event.

On the S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier, the Hulkbusters get word that a large gamma signature has been detected in New Mexico, the Hulk's old stomping grounds. The team has all assembled except for She-Hulk, who is not responding to the page. Clay Quartermain contacts Jen in her hover-car but she cuts off the transmission. She's tired of chasing after false leads. She has the head of the Nick Fury L.M.D. next to her. It's still busted and talking in a loop. She wishes she could think of a way to access its memory. She thinks about all of her friends that she could go to like Reed Richards, Hank Pym, etc. but she's not sure who she can trust now. Normally she'd go straight to Tony Stark but not now that he's in charge of S.H.I.E.L.D. She finally decides to go her lawfirm of Goodman, Lieber, Kurtzberg, and Holliway. It's there that Mr. Zix says he can access its data.

She-Hulk sees a video of "Nick Fury" meeting with Bruce Banner. She finds out that the L.M.D. sent Hulk out on a space mission to "smash" something. They are unable to find out what happens next because the information is in a nested file. At the same time in a coffee shop across town, someone is using a laptop and mentions that "they've found the encrypted file..." On the laptop the screen says, "Operation: Greener Pastures, S.H.I.E.L.D. File 93.56.7."

In New Mexico, the Hulkbusters arrive at one of the Hulk's old hideouts. They make their way inside and find the Leader inside. He is upset at being discovered. He mentions faking his death twice to carry out his secret master plan. He says he was just three days from releasing death spores. He gets in a giant robot and they prepare to fight.

Zix tells Jen that he can't access any more files. Suddenly, a new file comes up. Back in the coffee shop, Mastermind Excello is seen with his coyote pup. He accessed the file for them. Jen sees another video with Tony Stark, Reed Richards, Black Bolt, and Dr. Strange talking to Hulk on a video monitor. They tell him that they decided to send him off planet when they found out about "Nick Fury's" mission. They say he has threaten the planet too many times with his anger-induced destruction. Seeing this, Jen is no longer a happy camper.

The Hulkbusters suffer some injuries but they manage to take down the Leader. As they head back to the S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier, Clay's transmission is garbled. Those onboard the helicarrier think they are bringing in the Hulk and begin to celebrate. She-Hulk is also on her way to the helicarrier. Tony Stark is brought on deck and sees a huge banner saying "Mission Accomplished." He starts to talk to the agents that there's been a mistake (since he knows Hulk is not on planet). Jen arrives with a rough landing. She immediately confronts Iron Man. When he asks her what her problem is, she says her problem isn't on Earth and that he's known that from day one. Before she can say anything else, he hits her with a full-powered blast from his repulsors. He orders some agents to lock her in the brig and that she is NOT to talk to anyone. As he turns his back, She-Hulk has already regained consciousness. Stark orders her not to say another word. She easily dodges his attacks. She starts knocking him around and shrugging off his attacks. She calls him a "tin-plated tyrant" and says he's been acting more like Dr. Doom. She tells him he's an idiot. Sending Bruce into space isn't going to solve anything. Iron Man says he knows that he'll probably come back. He tells her that they've been preparing for his return. A little needle pops out of his finger and he pokes Jen in the neck. He tells her it's an Adamantium needle with nanites from Project: Achilles.

When Jen wakes up, she immediately tries punching Iron Man only to feel pain in her fist. She has reverted back to her human form. Iron Man is showing her the results of Project: Achilles. She sees the Abomination, Ironclad, and Vector, all in human form. Stark tells her that they've perfected a way to stop Hulk-level threats, permanently. She-Hulk is no more. Jen tells him that he's mistaken if he thinks the threat from her has been neutralized. She-Hulk may be gone but she is still Jennifer Walters, one of the best lawyers on the East Coast. She says she is going to destroy him.

Overview

When the Hulk returns to Earth for the senses-shattering events of "World War Hulk," we can all guess which puny humans will fight against him. But which of Earth's heroes will fight for the Hulk? Don't miss the shocking revelations as Amadeus Cho, the boy genius who took on Reed Richards on behalf of the Hulk in Incredible Hulk #100, confronts She-Hulk and Doc Samson -- and precipitates a gamma-powered smash-fest in the wilds of Jersey! Featuring the return of Hulk artist extraordinaire Gary Frank!

Spoilers

Jennifer Walters finds herself stranded in Jersey. As She-Hulk, she had been working for the government to fight Hulk's enemies during his absence. She has also been working for S.H.I.E.L.D. When she discovered that a group of superheroes tricked and sent Hulk off planet without a jury or trial, she punched Iron Man. It turns out he was prepared for that. She had been injected with nanobots that depowered her back into Jennifer Walters. Then they simply dropped her off. As she prepares her way back to civilization, a boy on a scooter drives up. It's Amadeus Cho, otherwise known as Mastermind Excello. She questions him about being so smart yet he stopped for a woman wearing a S.H.I.E.L.D. uniform. He says that she's a women who just hit Iron Man and quit the agency. He also has a change of clothes for her and a bottle of grape Nehi (her favorite drink).

In the Baxter Building, Reed is talking to Doc Samson. He's monitoring Amadeus. Samson isn't too impressed that he knew Jen's favorite drink because it was in an issue of Vanity Fair. Samson asks if he's so smart, how can he let Reed track him. Reed says perhaps it's because he's only the seventh smartest person on the planet. There's also the chance that he knows he's being tracked and wants Reed to know that he knows. It also seems that he wanted Reed to send Samson after him. Reed says that Samson won't be able to beat him intellectually and probably won't be able to touch him physically but his emotions can be played. He recently lost his family. Reed gave Samson his file and tells him to make use of it.

In a diner, Jen and Amadeus sit as he puts away the food. She says he has three minutes to explain why she shouldn't just call the police on him since he's a known fugitive. He accuses her of not wanting to help her cousin. She tells him about a day when the Champions were about to be honored by the President for saving the world. The Hulk was reported in a traffic jam. They went and attacked him. It turns out that she was in the car he was carrying with a ruptured appendix. He just wanted to take her to the hospital but they only saw a monster attacking. She says that Amadeus is like the Champions. All they saw was a monster. All he's seeing is a hero. She says he just saw him on a good day.

Frustrated, Amadeus gets up to leave. He knows that her "shrink" is there to get him. Walking outside, Samson makes a thunderclap that knocks both of them back. Amadeus is knocked out with blood pouring out his nose. Amadeus is barely conscious. He tries to open his jacket and asks Jennifer for help. It doesn't look good for the little coyote he was carrying.

Amadeus tries appealing to them. They're Hulk's friends and he needs them. They're working for the bad guys. He also comments that it was Samson's reports that allowed them to get Hulk onto the shuttle and gave Iron Man the idea to have her depowered.

Samson tells Amadeus that he's just angry because despite being so smart, he can't figure out who's killed his parents. He's just unleashing like the Huk would. Amadeus tells him his hour is up as Jennifer transforms into She-Hulk. She smacks Samson into a car and it explodes. He doesn't want to fight but will if he has to. He says he knows she's disappointed in him and she says she's not. She's mad. She gives him an uppercut that sends him flying away. She-Hulk turns to look for Amadeus but he's gone.

The payphone rings and it's him. She asks how he was able to get her to change. He came up with something and put it in her grape Nehi. It was a temporary fix. He says he can make it permanent if he knows that she's on their side. She says she just caused about a half million dollars worth of damage and sent on of her best friends into the next county. She can't go with him. She tells him to look at what happened to his coyote. Amadeus tells her he's fine. He was playing dead. He doesn't allow his friends to get hurt.

Jennifer also tells him there was one more thing that happened after the Champions found out what the Hulk was really doing. They were sorry. Amadeus reaches the top of a hill to find Hercules and Angel up there. She asks him if he knows what she's saying. He says he does, because he's a "smart kid." Reed is watching him on his screen and says "Not quite smart enough."

Overview

Marvel's massive summer smashfest begins! Exiled by a group of Marvel "heroes" to the savage alien planet of Sakaar, the Hulk raged, bled and conquered through the pages of last year's "Planet Hulk" epic, rising from slave to gladiator to king. Now the Hulk returns to Earth to wreak his terrible vengeance on Iron Man, Reed Richards, Dr. Strange and Black Bolt -- and anyone else who gets in his way. Stronger than ever, accompanied by his monstrous Warbound gladiator allies, and possessed by the fiercest and purest rage imaginable, the Hulk may just tear this stupid planet in half. The epic story of anger unbound begins with this special double-sized issue written by "Planet Hulk" scribe Greg Pak and penciled by the legendary John Romita, Jr.

Hulk and his Warbound arrive. First stop is the moon. As Hulk lands, he is met by Black Bolt and Medusa. She questions why he has arrived unannounced. They see he is dressed for war. She says he has faced Black Bolt before and lost. All Hulk can say is, "You shot me into space...Killed my world..." Medusa tells him to stop and he says "Never." As he approaches, Black Bolt simply whispers, "Enough." The force of his words blasts Hulk. He fights to hang on but is eventually sent flying back. They turn to head back towards their palace. Hulk comes back saying he hasn't come there for a whisper. He wants to hear Black Bolt scream and jumps towards him.

On Earth, the arrival of the Hulk's ship has been detected. They've registered that there's been an explosion on the moon. Tony Stark tries telling the President to block all the satellites but it is too late. The ship can be seen over New York City. A giant holographic message appears before everyone and on all channels. Hulk tells the "puny humans" that he has come to smash. He wants them to know why first. He shows them the message from Iron Man, Reed Richards, Black Bolt, and Dr. Strange about sending him into space. He tells everyone how he was sent to a planet where he could be killed and was forced to become a gladiator. He tells them about his Warbound and how he became King and had a Queen. He shows them how a bomb was sent with him and destroyed his planet and killed a million people. He gives New York City 24 hours to evacuate. He says that after that time if he does not see Iron Man, Mr. Fantastic, and Dr. Strange, he will smash the entire planet and shows the beaten pulp of Black Bolt.

Iron Man takes off. He takes over the satellites mainframes and sets them up so that Hulk cannot tap into them again. As soon as Iron Man has locked into the satellites, they hit him with a modified EMP blast through them. Doctor Strange's astral form appears before Iron Man. He mentions that Hulk's never been angrier or stronger. Iron Man asks Strange to use his magic to send him away. Dr. Strange questions that action as it would most likely result in Hulk destroying another world. They caused the problem and must solve it. He asks Tony if he wants the help of his "comrades" if he can resist in trying to arrest them. Stark says all unregistered heroes will get a full pardon if they turn themselves over when all of this is over. Strange says that'd be something if they could survive the Hulk's anger.

Stark and Reed Richards pay a visit to Sentry. They tell him that they need him to go to the Hulk. Robert is hesitant because they are friends. He says the last time he saw the Hulk, he was fighting the Void and got every bone in his body broke. Then he found out he was the Void. Reed tells him that he is the most powerful being in the universe and they need him, the Hulk needs him.

In Manhattan, S.H.I.E.L.D. and other assorted heroes (including Spider-Man and She-Hulk) assist in evacuating everyone. Finally they've managed to evacuate five million people in twenty-three hours. A fire chief asks Spider-Man and Ms. Marvel what is the big deal, the Hulk's been dealt with before. Ms. Marvel mentions that he's different now, especially since he smashed Black Bolt. The chief doesn't know who Black Bolt is. Spider-Man mentions that before this, he thought Black Bolt was the "second most powerful guy in the galaxy." The chief says that he must be number three now.

A figure is seen flying towards them and they think it's Sentry. It turns out to be Iron Man in a huge piece of armor. Spider-Man's senses go off like crazy as Hulk's ship can be seen floating overhead. Iron Man tells them that this is his fight. He tells them not to attack until he is done with him or the Hulk is done with him. Flying towards Hulk, Hulk jumps down to meet him. The impact sends a shockwave that knocks most off their feet and smashes the windows on the surrounding buildings.

As they are engaged, Iron Man sends out a transmission. He tells everyone that he is to blame for the Hulk's anger. He says that everything he'll ever do is to protect the world. Iron Man gives Hulk a punch that sends him flying miles away. It looks like Iron Man has won as everyone cheers and thinks the fight is over (except for Rick Jones). Iron Man continues his transmission, telling the world that he has injected the Hulk with nanobots that were made to suppress his powers. As Hulk slowly tries to get up, Iron Man flies up and authorizes an air strike against the Hulk. Missles fly towards him and explode in a huge blast. Hulk yells out Caiera's name and recalls his time with her, her news that she was pregnant with his child, the explosion of the warp core that destroyed everyone. Fresh with the memory that they've killed her, his anger is renewed.

Hulk jumps up and smashes into Iron Man in the air. They land in Stark Tower and Hulk continues to smash him. The heroes look on as they see Stark Tower begin to crumble. Iron Man tries to fight back with his repulsor blasts as the building ends up a pile of rubble. The heroes rush over only to find an angry Hulk emerging from the destruction, standing over what's left of Iron Man.

Hulk pays a visit to Professor Xavier and the X-men, seeking an answer to the question of how Xavier would've voted, had he been at the Illuminati meeting at which it was decided that Hulk would be banished.

In defense of Xavier, the X-men strike, and are slowly smashed, one-by-one, by a very angry Hulk.

Overview

The Illuminati called the Hulk a monster -- and shot him into space. But Amadeus Cho, the boy genius who took on Reed Richards in INCREDIBLE HULK #100, calls the Hulk a hero -- and prepares for his return. With just his big brain, a lot of guts and a few billion dollars stolen from Warren Worthington III, Cho tackles the insane task of building a team of heroes willing to side with the Hulk against the rest of the Marvel Universe. Will Hercules and Angel become the Hulk's Champions? Will Namor be his Defender? And what happens when the Prince of Power meets the Green King on Manhattan's shattered streets?

Hulk’s Warbound discuss their plans for battle on the way to Earth. They size up their primary targets, the Illuminati, but Korg and Brood say that there will be more. “Heroes” like Thor and the X-Men. Hulk says it doesn’t matter because they’re all puny humans, but because they’re puny and scared they’ll call them all monsters and hunt them all across the universe and kill anyone and everyone they love. They join hands as Warbound and promise to stand by him anyway and their robot tells them that they’re getting close to Earth. Before they strike, Korg asks if there are any allies among the humans, but Hulk says if they’re human, they’re not his friends.

On Earth, Amadeus Cho hooks up with Hercules and Angel. He tries to talk them both into teaming up with him to help Hulk. Before they can really say anything, a SHIELD helicarrier appears and orders them to surrender Amadeus to them and not to believe anything he says. Amadeus distracts Hercules and Angel while he activates a device that makes the helicarrier launch missiles at them. Angel flies Amadeus away and Hercules wrecks the flying vessel. Later the trio sit in an internet café and Warren tries to get some money but finds his accounts locked. Amadeus informs Warren that a week earlier he had stolen 1.2 billion dollars just so they’d have money now. He also bought a flying submarine for what they were about to do next, and the desert where Banner became Hulk.                     

They take the submarine down to Atlantis to talk to Namor and along the way they are hit by a tidal wave. Once they get down there, Namor tells them how stupid they are and that Hulk isn’t a nice guy, he’s a maniac. Right after he tells them that the tidal wave was caused by something near the moon, his cousin Namora comes and plays the video of Hulk and his speech. When Hercules hears that Hulk lost his wife, he identifies with the Jade Giant and wants to help even more. Namor threatens to stop them but Namora stands up to him. She remembers that she had been long forgotten for decades and abandoned by her friends and family and she doesn’t want to do that to Hulk. Namor won’t strike his cousin so he smashes their ship and leaves. The Amadeus fixes the ship and he and his companions head over to New York. On the way they see some Hulk fanatics that are heading to the fight instead of running away. They try to get them away but before they can, Hulk hits Iron Man and sends a shockwave through the city.

Amadeus tries to contact Hulk’s ship but Miek sees him as nothing more than a human and takes their ship out of the sky. Amadeus and his friends fall to the ground near the Hulk fans. They get to work protecting the humans while Hulk and Iron Man fight. Hulk gets up after beating Iron Man and sees all the people. He sees them as enemies and attacks. Hercules tries to stand up to him but gets battered. He eventually seems to get through to Hulk and tells them that they’re all there to help, but will he come to accept their assistance?
