Synopsis for "The Big Reveal"
She-Hulk (Vol. 2) #9
In his office, Artie Zix floats in the middle of the room as he communicates with some alien presence that is furious to hear that the She-Hulk has recently been in the presence of the Watcher. They interrupted by the sudden arrival of Augustus Pugliese, who wants copies of video recordings that Zix has been taking around the office after he took over the firm of Goodman, Lieber, Kurtzberg & Holliway. Zix is about to pull out a gun and shoot Pug until he learns that he isn't interested in whatever Artie was up to before he came barging in. Jealous of She-Hulk's relationship with John Jameson, Pug pours over the security footage to confirm his suspicions over the couple's sudden obsession with each other. After hours of review, he finds exactly what he is looking for: video proof that they only started acting this way when they came into contact with Starfox. Pug then makes a copy of this footage. When Pug goes upstairs for coffee it is amidst the commotion over the fact that Spider-Man just revealed his identity to the public on live television to show his support for the new Super Human Registration Act.
Across town, the news reaches the Daily Bugle, sending J. Jonah Jameson into a frenzy. Jameson is furious to learn that Peter Parker, whom Jameson hired for years as a photographer, turned out to be Spider-Man the entire time. Jameson's temper flares up even more when his editor Joe Robertson tells him that Spider-Man is also being granted amnesty for signing up with the government. To make matters, worse, Jonah next hears a news report about how his son John has run off to Las Vegas for a quickie wedding with the She-Hulk at an Elvis chapel. The report is covered on live television as well causing a shock to She-Hulk's friends, allies, and enemies alike. In Las Vegas, Jennifer thanks Gary Swanson, owner of the Green Cross, for being a witness to the marriage. When she commends him for the work the Green Cross does providing relief from her cousin's rampages, Gary mentions that there hasn't been a Hulk rampage since his attack in Las Vegas. When he suggests that it seems like the Hulk has vanished off the face of the Earth, this bothers Jennifer. However, before she can think about this more, John gets a phone call from his father who expresses his displeasure about the news.
Back in New York City, Jennifer learns that John has arranged to go out to dinner at his father's place so that they can all meet. With a superhero civil war about to erupt, Jennifer tries to get out of it as there are more important things to worry about. However, John stresses how important this is. As they get ready, they don't hear the phone ring. When the answering machine picks up it is Pug, who asks Jennifer to meet him at the Velvet Morgue bar. It appears that Jennifer shows up, Augustus tries to warn her about Starfox's influence. However, this turns out to be Ditto in disguise, angering Pug. Ditto explains that he has been watching everyone in secret and posed as She-Hulk to save him some pain and suffering. While this has foiled Augustus' plan, it convinces him to do something else instead.
Meanwhile, at the Jameson home, She-Hulk finds herself eating in awkward silence with John, and her new in-laws, J. Jonah Jameson and his wife Marla. After some small talk back and forth, the subject turns to Spider-Man which causes Jonah to get into a sour mood. When he tells John how disappointed he is that his son married a superhero, Marla quietly tells him to behave in front of the woman who is going to give them grandchildren. Thinking about this possibility sends Jameson into a rage and he storms upstairs where he keeps the original Spider-Slayer robot in storage. The robot fares poorly against Jennifer who easily breaks it. She then goes up into the attic and hashes it out with Jameson. Learning that his anger is mostly over Spider-Man getting pardoned, Jennifer suggests that Jameson should sue Peter Parker for selling him fake photos. When Jonah points out that Parker is broke, she reminds him that the new Iron Spider armor he wears is worth at least eight million dollars.
Seeing how easily his new daughter-in-law could make life difficult for Spider-Man causes a complete turn around for Jameson, who welcomes Jennifer as a member of the Jameson family.

Synopsis for "Anarchy, Part 4"
Incredible Hulk (Vol. 2) #99
When Caiera the Oldstrong failed to kill the Hulk, Red King Angmo-Asan has a ship filled with deadly Spikes crashed on the battlefield. The King's soldiers and the Hulk's refugees all watch in horror as the Spikes begin consuming everything in their path. As the swarm approaches the Hulk and Caiera, the Hulk isn't impressed by the creatures and tells the woman that once he is done with them, he will be coming back for her. Caiera doesn't think so and uses the head of her spear to impale the Hulk's foot, pinning him to the ground. The Hulk responds by tossing Caiera out of the danger zone so he can face the Spikes alone. He is soon infected by the Spikes and as his body begins to be consumed, the Hulk orders his Warbound to get back. Much to their amazement, the Hulk manages to pull the infected tissue from his body, saving his life. With the Spikes starting to form one huge mass, the Hulk pounds his fists into the ground, causing a collapse that gives them some momentary cover for most of the refugees to escape with Korg and Hiroim. However, not all manage to get away, forcing the Hulk and those who remain to get to higher ground. There, Elloe Kaifi informs the Hulk that they are surrounded by Spikes. Not far away is the fortified city of An-Sara where they can find refuge. However, they will have to pass through an area where the very grass itself has been infested with the parasites. Although some of the refugees think they are doomed, Miek points out that they are with the Hulk and he will get them through alive.
While at the city itself, Caiera the Oldstrong is organizing people to fortify their homes from the Spikes. As the people rush off to do so, Caiera is contacted by the Red King who tells her that her primary concern is to kill the Hulk. She tells him about the Spikes, and demands reinforcements, and he assures her that they are on their way. However, the Deathfire Bomb are not to used to destroy the Spikes, but to create a wall of fire around the area trapping the Hulk, his allies, and the village of An-Sara with the Spikes. Watching from afar the latest problem is viewed by Korg and Hiroim who note that this was intentional. Caiera the Oldstrong also realizes what her King is doing. She then begins leading the trapped citizens in holding off the Spikes with flame throwers. The Hulk then collapses a column of rock, allowing himself and his allies to make their way to An-Sara. After having the Spikes burned off of him, the Hulk then assists Caiera and the villagers in saving the city, much to the aggravation of the Red King who is watching from afar.
Meanwhile, Miek and his people detect some more of their people and force their way into a well-guarded silo. Inside they find the last queen of their people who has been imprisoned as her eggs are being used as a food source. Furious, Miek begins slaughtering the people, despite the protests from Elleo. In the midst of the carnage, the queen is infected by a Spike. Seeing this, the Hulk comes to rip the infected tissue out. Just then Korg and Hiroim arrive with reinforcements. With the city saved, the Hulk is hailed as a hero by the people. In the aftermath of the battle, the Red King chastises Caiera for helping the Hulk, revealing that he intentionally dropped the Spikes to try and destroy him. In retaliation, he drops a Deathfire bomb on her. Although Caiera survives the blast, a child she was recovering is atomized. Seeing that her ruler has finally gone too far, she offers to join the Warbound and is welcomed by the Hulk. The Hulk then addresses the planet wide vid-feeds informing the Red King that he is coming for him. Watching this, Angmo tells the Hulk to bring it on.
