Spidey, why are you fighting GI Joe!? Look out, gang, it\u2019s the Gray Hulk! He represents the teenage part of Bruce Banner\u2019s repressed psyche. He\u2019s not as strong as green Hulk, but he\u2019s smart, and kind of a jerk, and calls himself Joe Fixit, and I think he works in a casino! Why? Who knows?! I know who knows: Peter David, longtime Hulk writer and also this issue writer. He\u2019s on WEB for one more issue, so let\u2019s see how it works. Spidey\u2019s swinging around Las Vegas when his Spider Sense goes off.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Was that guy holding a bazooka? Who knows, Spidey is off, recapping his life and his book deal and how it\u2019s brought him to Vegas. Then we meet more of whatever Warzone is:
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t feel much more edified. We take our scene to visit Marlo Chandler, sort-of-girlfriend to Joe Fixit (And future wife of longtime Hulk pal, Rick Jones, that\u2019s not awkward or anything) on her way to see her man. But when she arrives, he slams the door in her face. He\u2019s a nice guy. And we\u2019re off again. The \u201cWarzone\u201d people have a montage of them getting into their GI Joe outfits while, on TVs in the background, Peter Parker appears on \u201cThe Dinah Show,\u201d and it\u2019s going terribly, with her constantly getting his name wrong and not letting him talk at all before throwing to commercial.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Marlo is also watching Peter on TV, and has decided he\u2019s real cute. So cute, in fact, that she\u2019s headed off to his book signing after the show to see if he\u2019s as cute in person. Dang, Marlo, ok.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Well that sure got meta quickly. And that dude really did have a bazooka. His target is Charlie, who yells \u201cLet the games begin!\u201d as she dives out of the way, and right into Marlo. Then Charlie shoves Marlo into a lamppost, knocking her out. Rude! As Delta fires another missile right into the book store, Peter slips out the back and, as Charlie\u2019s trying to get some payback, well, you know\u2026
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

That guy is very strong. Turns out, also very fast, running away at what Spidey guesses is 40 miles per hour. He\u2019s about to pursue when he notices Marlo, out cold and bleeding profusely from the head. He gets a tracer on Delta, then tells Charlie to wait for him while he takes her to help. Charlie doesn\u2019t mention she\u2019s the one who hurt Marlo, and is looking forward to using Spidey as a decoy.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A convenient meeting!  Mona the roommate calls Joe Fixit to let him know Marlo\u2019s in the hospital and \u201csome woman in fatigues\u201d put her there. Hulk smashes the phone in his hand, and then we\u2019re following Spidey as he swings the aforementioned woman in fatigues on the trail of Delta. They find their way to a place called The Coliseum,  where they\u2019re attacked by Alpha, prompting Spidey to ask, \u201cWhat the heck is this, a Rambo convention?\u201d which is pretty good, and then\u2026
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I guess I gotta see about that issue of Hulk. I own very few Hulk comics, but a pretty random handful from David\u2019s 10-year+ run. Too bad I don\u2019t have that one\u2026 yet.
