Bruce and Betty/Hulk and Red She-Hulk,
locked in endless combat in a world of their own. Happily ever after?
Perhaps. But Doctor Strange has to know: his astral form meets
Bruce Banner's astral form and Strange asks if Bruce is happy; Bruce
doesn't know but he is sure that Hulk and Red are. He asks Strange to
rescue Amadeus Cho and Dr Sofia Di Cosimo from their endless cycle of
death and resurrection, though. Bruce starts to fade as the Hulk no
longer needs him....
Dr Strange returns to Earth to battle
Monica Rappaccini who he thinks betrayed him by not bringing her wish
machine to the Dark Dimension; Rick Jones has to stop him. Monica
kept the machine back because it is the only defense against the Hulk
when he returns (he always returns). Amadeus and Sofia return through
the portal burned by Fin Fang Foom...
...who is busily engorging himself with
gamma bombs. Tyrannus intends to conquer America and no one can stop
him: no one has the wishing energy big enough to take down the
energized dragon and they aren't going to bring Hulk back to do it.
So Jen Walters and Rick Jones go out to the desert and absorb the
gamma radiation, turning them back into She-Hulk and A-Bomb (Bruce
had wished them cured in issue #632) and they take on FFF. Monica
wishes Jen, Rick, and FFF into the Dark Dimension. Umar calls Hulk
and Red's attention to them and they attack, absorbing all of the
gamma radiation, turning temporarily into near-cosmic beings. Sofia
must inform Hulk that they are now on Earth, Jen and Rick have gone
insane with gamma power, and only Hulk can make the wish to stop it
all. He does. Everything goes back to normal, everyone is at
Gammaworld, Jen and Rick have the ability to change into their other
form at will—but nothing has changed for Hulk. Red steps forward
and makes her final wish...and nothing happens. She wished for Bruce
to get what he wanted, not the Hulk. Tyrannus, being led away be the
authorities, reminds her that they are not different people. Hulk
bursts into rage then turns into Banner, who says “Yeah. You got
me” and takes his leave....
Epilogue: A bratty kid is causing
trouble at a diner and the father apologizes to the guy at the next
booth, saying she's in a crazy mood; Bruce replies, “We've all been
there.”
