In "Cognito," She-Hulk races to the Dandesh System to rescue Razorback and Taryn O'Connell from the D'Bari, only to find the Skrulls already there with plans to destroy the planet. With her strength and wit on the line, she’ll have to outthink a hostile invasion while navigating the chaos of a system on the brink.

In a prison cell on a distant moon, an Ovoid offers She-Hulk a peculiar lesson in mind-switching—just as she tries to use it to reach Weezi Mason aboard a Skrull ship, with chaos on the horizon.

In "Many Happy Returns," Jennifer Walters returns to her desk at the newly rebuilt Timely Plaza, where her first case takes a wild turn: a defendant accused of attempted murder must face a jury selected from the past using a time machine. The twist? One of the jurors is Hawkeye—alive and present in the trial, though long dead in the current timeline.

In "Creatures on the Loose!" from Guardians of the Galaxy: Road to Annihilation #2, Nick Fury assembles a SHIELD unit composed entirely of monsters, thrusting the reluctant Quartermain into leadership.

In "Creature Feature," the Howling Commandos team up with Sasquatch to capture the elusive monster Groot, only to find themselves welcoming a new, lumbering ally in the form of Glob. Meanwhile, Merlin arrives in England, where he begins weaving ancient magic beneath the stones of Stonehenge.

In "null," Nina and Lilith are sent to a Britain that’s vanished from the map, only to discover it remade by Merlin into a twisted fantasy realm teeming with monstrous creatures and hidden threats. As the old wizard’s dark magic reshapes reality, the two must navigate a landscape where myth and menace are one and the same.

In "Destroy All Monsters!", Groot’s unexpected allegiance shifts the balance of power as he joins the Commandos, while Nina strikes a dangerous deal with her captors, setting a trap that could unravel Merlin’s plans. Back at headquarters, Beemer seizes control from Clay, turning the mission’s leadership into a high-stakes gamble.
