(So by the way: I know that Deodato’s covers sell comics like nobody’s business - but does he have to make every top out of cling film? When was the last time a fabric defied the laws of gravity and hung on to the underside of a woman’s boob?)

I’d like to just read about characters, without having to reminded just how easily they get stuck in the fridge when they think they can get away with it.) (Aside: When was the last time you saw a male Marvel hero flopping around? It’s really frogging disappointing how unevolved the creators and editors are, just barely underneath the performative progressivism. Maybe he hasn’t been flashy enough for me? Doesn’t go straight to punching and Big Power Displays, so the visuals aren’t as attention-grabbing?īut I do like reading his stuff, and it’s a refreshingly not-exploitative look at She-Hulk without having her states of undress shoved in our faces *every* issue (though somehow she still ended up buck naked here at least once). I enjoyed Peter David’s back half of this She-Hulk run - at least as much, maybe even more than Dan Slott’s front half.ĭavid has more respect for Jen, and more of a writer’s flair for patience, subtlety, and just human interactions that read believably. Seriously?! Seriously?! What a flaming bag of crap! At the end, he saves Jazinda, but not before we see him reliving a fond memory of himself with both of his children when they were young. In between punching each other with trees, She-Hulk spouts off some psycho-babble crap to the Super-Skrull about how he has transferred his guilt over the loss of his son onto Jazinda. Second, while the art was better in the She-Hulk comics, the story didn't improve much at all. Some of the guys from X-Factor get into a fight with She-Hulk and Jazinda. On top of that, the story itself was stupid.

I had a hard time telling the characters apart, because it looked like the artist was trying to make everyone look like they were mutant rock monsters or something. So how can this be a sucky/lame volume, you ask?įirst, the art in X-Factor was so weird that I couldn't focus on the story. Did I mention that she can't be killed (for reasons that are finally revealed in this volume)!

I mean, She-Hulk's partner, Jazinda, is a Skrull who has turned against her people and wants to stop the invasion! Not only that, but she is the daughter of the Super-Skrull. And the worst part about it is that it could have been one of the coolest. However, this has to be the worst of it's spin-off story lines. Either they are kinda good (and I get hopeful), or they suck. There is no real consistency in the quality of these books. I don't know why I keep torturing myself with She-Hulk.
