Synopsis for 1st story
Trying to start over with her life after having left the Avengers, Jennifer is approached by Titania, who is hoping to fight Jennifer in her She-Hulk form. While Titania attempts to fight Jen in her human form, Jen slowly starts to remove her work suit as it's the only one she has and she does not wish to ruin it. After transforming and starting to fight back against Titania, Jen starts to question Titania as to why she continues to fight her, seemingly throwing away everything she has. After admitting that she likes fighting Titania as much as Titania likes to fight her, Jen proposes that they instead arrange their fights and plan them in a vacant area so that they can both blow off some steam. Having resolved her conflict with Titania, Jen finally makes it over to Chelsea and meets up with Mallory Book, who provides Jen with a new job and office space, despite her reluctance. Jen then meets up with her friend Janet Van Dyne, who lends Jen her apartment. Finally believing that things are starting to look up for her and that she's reinventing herself, Jen finds that Jack of Hearts has crashed into her apartment only to pass out and collapse onto the floor.

Notes
- Although this comic doesn't include a corner box legacy numbering, this issue would correspond to She-Hulk #164.
Trivia
- She-Hulk has been an on-and-off member of the Avengers since first joining in 1982's Avengers #221. Her relationship with the Fantastic Four is similar, since she first joined the team in 1984's Fantastic Four #265
- She-Hulk and Titania first faced each other in 1984's Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars #7.
- Titania last "turned herself around" when she joined Gamma Flight.[1]
- When Titania asks if Jen is going to fight her in underwear, she says she's fought her in less. She fought Titania in lingerie in Sensational She-Hulk #52.
- She-Hulk's defeat at the hands of Titania happened in the pages of She-Hulk #11. She-Hulk's rematch and Titania's arrest was then seen in She-Hulk #12.
- She-Hulk asks Mary if she's still married. She married Carl Creel (the Absorbing Man) in Avengers: Unplugged #4, a wedding that She-Hulk attended (uninvited).
- The question is most likely rhetorical, since Jen saw them together shortly before, in 2021's Immortal Hulk #47.
- Mallory Book and Jennifer faced each other in court in She-Hulk #1 and worked together from She-Hulk #2 until She-Hulk (Vol. 2) #21. Jen's resignation from their law firm was seen via flashback in She-Hulk (Vol. 2) #29, and the two last saw each other in She-Hulk (Vol. 2) #33.
- Janet Van Dyne first loaned the apartment to Jen in Sensational She-Hulk #2, and she kept it for the duration of that series.
- Jack of Hearts gave his life back in Avengers (Vol. 3) #76, returning to life through mysterious ways in Marvel Zombies Supreme #2.
- Jack was an important part of Jennifer's life, as his powers led Jennifer to lose control over her savage self and go berserk in Bone (Idaho), as seen in Avengers (Vol. 3) #67-68 and Avengers (Vol. 3) #73-75, respectively. These events would haunt Jennifer for a while.[2][3]
