She-Hulk arrives at the hospital where her cousin Bruce is in a coma and decides to let the doctors try an experimental treatment to snap him out of it. Hulk destroys a New Mexico town and four of the strongest Avengers show up to stop him. Doc Samson calls off the heroes and they agree to give him a little time to bring in the Hulk all by himself. Bruce's treatment works and he wakes up, Hulk-free, to be reunited with Betty.
