And that doctor happens to be Dr. Strange. He does some of his magic to her and removes the spell that the Scarlet Witch cast on her where no one who wants to do harm to She-Hulk will be able to see her when she’s in Jennifer form. She wants to know why he took it away, and Samson reveals that it was behind all of Jen’s trouble with transforming, and now she can do so at will. She promptly does so, and is elated and swoops the two docs up in the air for some hugs. She can be a super hero again whenever she wants, and who wouldn’t want that.

At that same time, John is flying a new aircraft through a very elaborate course, and nearly crashes because he was fantasizing. He manages to land it safely and impressively, and all the mechanics and such congratulate him when he gets out and even pokes a little fun over thinking of his girlfriend. The general arrives then and wants a private word with John. He suggests John break off his superhuman ties since the registration act is about to pass and hints that the plane John was just piloting will be used to take out renegade superheroes, which John doesn’t seem so comfortable with.

As Jen is making her way to her office, now a bit uncomfortable having to deal with the glances from the public again, Justice and Rage, both former New Warriors, touch down in front of her, apologizing for being late. They don’t get to say much more than that before other people begin slandering them about what happened in Stamford, and Jen quickly hustles them inside.

Inside, she apologizes for what happened outside, but as their lawyer, the first thing she would advise is to lose the uniforms. Justices says they can’t do that, in fact, that’s exactly why they are there. All the remaining Warriors are being unmasked to the public. Rage breaks down, saying this can’t happen again, since the last time it happened, their families paid the price. She thinks it’s about the registration act, but Justice points her towards DestroyAllWarriors.com. Someone has started this hate site and is posting the Warriors’ real names and video footage of what happens to them afterwards. Hindsight Lad had a message burned into his lawn. Debrii had her car torched. Timeslip, who they thought would be safe in L.A., was run down by a mob. They’re even doing a dead pool to see who will get killed next. Jen easily agrees to take the case.

That night, Jen is having a drink with John, who is confused at how as She-Hulk, she can be pro-registration, but as Jen, she says superheroes should keep their secret identities. Jen corrects the last part as only from the public, because that’s fair and safe. She says she’s conflicted over all this, and doesn’t want to lose the privacy she has. He suggests that in order not to lose that, she makes those ties stronger.

At the same time, a mysterious figure sees that Jen is trying to shut down the website, and decides on some payback by revealing she is also the She-Hulk on the site.

The next day outside the courthouse, an angry mob is lobbing objects at Justice and Rage. As Jen tries to navigate her way through the crowd, one guy recognizes her from the site and goes to attack her. Big stupid mistake. She immediately hulks up, saying he got the She-Hulk, now what does he want. He backs off and she tosses him aside as the rest of the crowd scatters away from her, and she and the Warriors head inside.

She immediately objects to what is happening, as the other side wants to bring up the financial backers of the website who also happen to be Stamford survivors, and she doesn’t want this to turn into a trial against her clients. The judge allows it and we see several people talking about losing loved ones and such, and the lawyer ends it by unnecessarily blaming it all on the New Warriors. Rage and Justice ask Jen if she’s just going to let him say that, and she says she will, because there’s nothing more to be gained over bringing up all the deaths again. Justice tries to say that it was because of Nitro, not the Warriors, but Rage has had it, and nearly destroys their table saying how no one ever talks that about how the Warriors who were there are dead too. Jen wants to have a minute with her clients, but the judge wants them expelled from the room and suggests she put them somewhere no one will ever find them again.

In a library, John is asking a little old lady about a specific book, and it becomes clear they are talking in code, and she leads him to a hidden passage underground. There, John meets with Captain America. They share pleasantries and a bit of info, but what Cap really wants to know is if She-Hulk will be on his side? John can’t tell him that since it was in confidence and he has to respect that. Cap understands, and when John goes on a bit more about how he really loves her and they’ve both been acting weird lately, Cap suggests he do something about that love now.

Back in court, Iron Man has taken the stand, and explains why he supports registration. But when Jen gets her turn at him, she really lets loose. She even attacks the numerous times Tony Stark came out as Iron Man only to retract it later, going so far as to bring up a time when he brainwashed earth to make everyone forget. This enrages Tony, and the judge calls for a recess. Outside, Justice and Rage want an update, but before she can give it, Iron Man wants a word with her. He explains himself again, and before she can get a word in, he gives Jen a memory stick with the address of the guy behind the site, saying she can do whatever she wants with it.

At the home of the person running the site, the mystery guy decides to out Firestar next when suddenly his house begins coming apart around him. He turns out to be Carlton Lafroyge aka Hindsight Lad of the New Warriors. She-Hulk and the Warriors, now joined by other members Ultra Girl and Slapstick, demand to know what the hell he is thinking. He explains his dumb plan of thinking that if he exposed enough Warriors, they’d give up and people would forget about them. He gets called on how little sense that plan makes, and Carlton can do nothing but collapse and sob that he doesn’t want to be a Warrior anymore with all that’s happened. They can’t get anymore out of him, as a bunch of the neighbors have come out and are getting ready to attack the Warriors and She-Hulk. Suddenly, a plane appears above and demands that the humans lower their weapons and the superhumans stay where they are. However, the Warriors and the humans all scatter as the aircraft from earlier touches down. She-Hulk recognized the voice, and it does turn out to be John who is the pilot. She tries to get a reason out of him as to why he’s there, but before she can finish the question, he gives her a big kiss. He has a question of his own: Will she marry him?

Review: This is one of my favorite non-X books being published by Marvel right now. It is a great blend of action, humor, and drama and it is something that Slott excels at, and sometimes, people think that he can’t do more serious work. But, it is issues like this that prove those naysayers wrong. Dan absolutely nails the tone of the Civil War here and the reactions of everyone involved are believable, no matter how much you might not like it. I personally find the attitudes of the public in stuff like this absolutely deplorable with how they blame people who had absolutely nothing to do with the tragedy, but only because they were old teammates with the heroes involved. But, as anyone in the recent half decade can tell you, that’s exactly what people have acted like towards certain people in the wake of a real life tragedy. It’s sick and disgusting that the people of our country act that way, but it’s a way of life and really resonates here. And the reactions of Justice and Rage are also realistic as their frustration with the people’s stupidity, even with the judge dismissing them(which he should have been removed after anyway because he showed so much bias), because who wouldn’t be frustrated with people acting like this?

The characterization of She-Hulk is very believable here as well. If you’ve just read the main Civil War title, you’d only see her on the pro side of registration. However, those who have known the character through this title for the past couple of years know that she wouldn’t be so automatically gung ho for the act. Here it shows her reluctance to accept the bill to a believable degree and even sets up the possibility that she may defect to the anti registration side before this event is all said and done.

The New Warriors is a team that I’m not really familiar with, but like everyone else, I’m familiar with what’s happened to them recently. And the reactions of the other members we did see, wanting their friends to be remembered as heroes and not just some wannabes, is quite touching and would, again, make sense in the situation. They’ve been heroes for years to the public, and saved their lives over and over again, but as soon as one thing goes wrong, one thing that isn’t necessarily their fault, they get crucified because people need someone to blame. It’s a harsh and sad and unfair world.
