INCREDIBLE HULK #379: Doc Samson, Ringmaster, and the newly “merged” Hulk go out for a few drinks, and in no time at all, they’re making new friends.

INCREDIBLE HULK #378: Rick Jones relays a previously-untold (and goofy as hell) story from “about a year ago”, where the Rhino, at a low point in his life, steals a Santa costume and ends up taking pictures with children at the mall. At least, he does until the Hulk shows up.
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #344: Spider-Man and Cardiac are both investigating a chemical manufacturer whose wares are being sold in mass quantities to make drugs. Their methods aren’t compatible, but they may have to work together when Justin Hammer hires Rhino to protect his assets.
DR. STRANGE #29: Dr. Strange struggles to save Rintrah’s life, but still needs to acquire a vampire talon in order to exorcise the demon from Topaz. Enter his brother Vic, who is now operating in Central Park as the new BARON BLOOD! Let the exorcism of Topaz commence!
GHOST RIDER #12: In the first part of the “Strange Tales” crossover, Dr. Strange hopes to collect Demon Fire from Ghost Rider’s skull for the spell that will exorcise the demon from Topaz. Ghost Rider, though, is too busy chasing Zodiak to comply.
