Dang, I won’t get my issue till later. I WANNA KNOW!!! 🙂
So can She-Hulk trasnform back to Jen and she chooses not to, or can’t she?
It seeemed like a done in one intro story, but it did not seem that intersting to me. I hated how… cliche… it had with the “I am from etc…” which was fun a few times, but seems to always pop up in Peter David’s story of which the character reveals a major secret but is completely ignored.
Also with a Skrull in it, I wonder how much the Secret Invasion will be in the storyline. Should we even care about She-Hulk at all if she is a Skrull and will disappear/be canceled after the crossover is over?
Was a good issue. She-Hulk is a character I traditionally don’t care about, but I enjoy reading her under your direction.
I was a little confused by how… easily confused, perhaps simple in thought, she was. Example, the ‘Irish’ guy is hitting on her and she thinks about how easy it might have been to hook up with her. Also her gruff, intimidating act in the bond office. I had always assumed she was a pretty smart woman being a lawyer, and laid back – lacking the generalized aggression of the Hulk. I’m no expert on her, for sure. I like the series and will read it so long as you write it.
Well, wracking my brain for something negative to say to balance out the good, I can only think of how I rolled my eyes a little at seeing Jen on “her baby” and that Jazinda’s approach to that girl’s father was a little too cruel.
Now for the good. Finally we’re finding out more about Jazinda, whom I feel sorry for. I hope that it isn’t long before we find out what she did to make her people want her dead. I also felt sorry for the kid she helped, of course.
The stuff about Bran’s name made me laugh, and Bran’s another thing I’m eager to discover more about. He must’ve known that the bomb wasn’t going to be sufficient to kill Jennifer, and I wonder if his motive was either to simply get her attention and piss her off…or to make her look bad, get people thinking that wherever She-Hulk goes, destruction and death follows as a result of some super-baddie attacking her.
I like the idea of a bail bond agency specializing in super-villains, as well as the rest of the supporting cast seen here.
Now to stray from the topic: I would love it if we could talk about “One More Day” sometime soon. I really hate where Quesada seems to be taking that story.
I like Jazinda, but I don’t find Jennifer herself to be likable at all anymore.
I haven’t read it yet.
However, I find it really interesting that She-hulk has a Skrull partner, right when the whole “secret invasion” is starting. This could make for some interesting drama…
Jazinda may steal the book if you let her, Peter. And I’m glad that Shulkie hasn’t completely abandoned GLHK. That one little string feels reassuring that you aren’t just throwing out everything Dan Slott did. Like it or not, I wouldn’t even be bothering with your run on She-Hulk if I hadn’t gotten addicted to Dan’s run first.
I’m not likeing she-hulk the bounty hunter so far but i know things take time to build and its not like i wont read it anyway as ive been a she-hulk fan most of my life. I will say this though can we have more actual she-hulk in the book and not She-hulk and her skull friend?
Also wouldn’t she-hulk have enough money to not live in a trailor parki find the fact she has zero money saved hard to belive even though she-hulk is roral I.D.
Sorry its been buging me all day i just got the issue my brother buys my books then brings them by
Not a big win for me.
I didn’t like the Skrull “B” story. First and foremost because I believe that any second plotline that CAN be lifted right out of a story without affecting the main story in the slightest, SHOULD be.
That applies to comics, TV shows, novels, everything. I don’t want to see a second story about Corporal Klinger’s wacky scheme to trick Major Winchester into buying him a new sewing machine. Those are script pages that could have been used to add more texture and weight to the “real” story going on in the OR. It always makes me feel a little bit cheated.
Secondly because the father got hit immensely hard by a huge hammer. Seemed unfair to the dad (nothing in the story seemed to justify such a devastating emotional blow) and the payoff also seemed like the emotional equivalent of “I’m taking you on a $1000 shopping spree at the American Girl store.” Nice little moment but it feels like a band-aid at best. I’m certain that they were right back where they started a couple of weeks later, which sort of pulls the teeth out of the “B” story.
As for the main story, it didn’t click with me but I think it’s mostly a “Civil War” thing. The new “rules” of the post-CW Marvel Universe seem to be so vaguely-defined and so randomly-applied that it’s often impossible for me to ignore the strings and try to enjoy the puppet show.
Good ish, thought the scene Jazinda initiated between the Father and Daughter was pretty well orchestrated. I can tell PAD’s going to have fun with her shape-shifting abilities as the series moves forward.
And I don’t see what all the dámņ complaining about Moll’s art is. His style is VERY reminiscent of Gary Frank’s, who’s something of a “hot” artist at the moment. Moll draws a sexy but downright formidable She-Hulk, his character design and compositonal skills are great– I just don’t see the problem.
One thing I’d like to see: A more prominent male supporting role. This last ish felt a bit drown in estrogen, the tone of the book coming off as almost feminist at times(“feminist” in the rational sense of the term, not the radical).
I mean, I know the word “She” is in the title of the book, but I don’t think that precludes strong male roles. 😉
Anyhoo, great issue. Things are progressing nicely. Hopefully the book picks up steam heading into Secret Invasion.
PAD- I’m sure you’ve been asked this numerous times, but is SH going to have a Secret Invasion tie-in? Is that something you can divulge?
Peter, I absolutely loved the Saki’s “The Open Window” nod in issue #24 (used in a different way to make a happy ending)…as usual you keep everybody guessing!
Personally, I’m willing to go with the idea that Jazinda kind of overreacted to the kid’s plight and committed an error due to being overzealous or her not knowing how extreme her action was.
I’m under the weather so I’ll be brief. I really like the addition of the Jazinda character. I also like Jen’s employment situation and her current residence. I’m hoping her job will help her to start butting heads with a variety of Marvel’s more interesting (and formidable) foes. She-Hulk’s lack of emotional growth, however, is getting a little frustrating. Maybe I’m alone here, but I want to see Jen succeed (or at least start to show some progress) when it comes to making better choices in her personal life. I don’t like agreeing with fictional characters named “Bran” but he made a good point to Jen before he tried to blow her up.

“Personally, I’m willing to go with the idea that Jazinda kind of overreacted to the kid’s plight and committed an error due to being overzealous or her not knowing how extreme her action was.”
It’s quite possibly she underreacted enormously, for a Skrull…
I’m kind of luke warm on where the book seems to be right now, but I’ll stick around for a while longer.
A big plus for me would be to see just how alien Skrulls are… Having Jazinda acting as a green shape-changing human would seem slightly wasteful to me.
Cheers.
Loved the story, but I have a kibitz about the art: I know that it’s a tad unrealistic for Shulkie to be built like a lanky supermodel and still be able to juggle pick-up trucks, but is it really necessary for her to appear as the over-muscled Sensational She-Male? If you can, PAD, give the art team a “nudge” towards a middle ground–I dread Shulkie ending up as Marvel’s answer to Power Girl.
