This was fab! I'm no expert on superhero comics, but I thought this was a good, fairly sophisticated story, great main character, beautiful art. Right now there seem to be a lot of reboots of comics series featuring female protagonists, and in my experience it always works better when they have a woman doing the writing—the main characters just seem more human (even if they're actually superhuman). I'm already looking forward to the next volume.
*Read as single issues*I know what it means to go through something that takes away everything. There was a time when I lost something. I was hurt. Badly. And afterwards, I didn't... I don't see the world the same way.Listen, I'm amazed this book was allowed to get made. This is not your typical Hulk book where buildings get smashed, Bruce angsts over being a monster and the government tries to take down the Hulk. This is not even your typical She-Hulk book where Jen smarts her way through most
3.5 stars. I've never read She-Hulk before, but I enjoyed her time as a lawyer, dealing with any number of smallish cases. The major case in this volume concerns a young woman, who appears agoraphobic after a brutal attack one night, who is threatened with eviction. Jen Walters is dealing with major grief because of Bruce Banner's death in one of the recent, big, pointless events. Jen is struggling mightily to find her equilibrium and establish some sort of normal life for herself, hence the law...
She-Hulk is very mad! Actually, after the events of civil war 2, Jen is sad. Sad and scared. If you don't know what happens, well read Civil War 2! I'm just teasing. You don't have to. It's not that great. So jen was punched int he chest by Thanos and nearly died. Then her cousin was shot in the head by Hawkeye. So after all these events she's feeling down, scared, and hurt. However, she goes back to her job of being a Lawyer to help those in need. When she picks up a new client things go sidewa...
Great tone here - Jen feels like a real person, even more so than in Soule’s recent run (and I wish I could remember what Slott’s run was really like - re-read in the air perhaps?)The air of foreboding and emotional trauma is unmistakable, what with Jen’s barely-contained Hulk-bursts and the trouble she has just talking to her best friend.Interesting examination of trauma and the emotional aftermath that eats you up without giving you the energy to fight against it.
Finally picked up the last two issues of this volume and was reminded why I really like this series. Jen Walters, lawyer for the Marvel Universe, has returned to the city, ready to contribute to helping people, her PTSD (from a Civil Wars disaster. . .) in check. This is a slow build of a volume, but it's appropriate as Jen’s identity as Hulk (not She-Hulk, but Hulk) needs to be figured out. What might the purpose be for her anger? Righteous rage? What lines might get crossed if Jen hulks out as...
Boring and bland real shame
Full disclosure: I've been a huge She-Hulk fan since I first encountered her in the early '80s (probably in the original Secret Wars series). It's entirely possible I'm a little biased when it comes to rating She-Hulk books.A few years back, Bruce Jones had a lengthy run on the main Hulk book where he treated the Hulk as a creature from a horror movie, going by the theory that the less you see of the monster, the scarier it is and the more impact it has when it does appear. While his run had its...
When Mockingbird was canceled to make way for more Civil War II books, it marked the beginning of my re-evaluating my willingness to keep buying comics from Marvel. This has only intensified with the downhill trend at Marvel Comics and the cancelation of Ta-Nehisi Coates' Black Panther and The Crew among several other books by minorities and women. This goes back to Marvel's Vice President saying that he did not endorse the policy of Marvel integrating itself. I do not know how long this series
3.5 starsIf you've read other She-Hulk comics then you know that Jennifer Walters is very comfortable with her Hulk form. In fact, she usually spends the vast majority of her time as a sexy, green lady. But not anymore.Deconstructed has Jen trying to recover from not only her beloved cousin Bruce's death in Civil War II, but her own near-death experience at the hands of Thanos. Now, I haven't really followed anything but the main Civil War II storyline, so I have no idea why but, apparently, it'...
Although I never found Bruce Banner to be that interesting as he functions better as a supporting character or an Avenger, his cousin Jennifer Walters seems to be having more fun as a Hulk whilst maintaining her status as an accomplished lawyer as we've seen in previous runs written by Dan Slott and Charles Soule. However, following the events of Civil War II such as the death of her cousin, as well as the injuries sustained at the hands of Thanos, she is left traumatised.Quitting the superhero
I normally like me some Single Female Lawyer comic book action, but this one felt like it took forever and a half to get to where it was going. I doubt I'll bother with the next volume.
Jennifer Walters is still recovering from her time in a coma and the death of her cousin Bruce Banner. She's suffering from PTSD and trying to keep her rage in check to keep from hulking out. Gone are the carefree days where she remained She-Hulk all the time. Now she's just trying to get through her day while practicing law and not be overwhelmed. We finally see her hulk out in the final issue into a more monstrous form while trying to help a shut-in inhuman from being evicted.
This is probably better than the three stars I'm giving it, but I would need to read it again to know for sure. Talk about a slow burn; never before in the history of green people in comic books do we wait like this for something to happen. The mistake would be in missing all of the other stuff going down - internally, for Jennifer, and externally, on the streets of New York - whilst you're waiting for gamma. Jennifer's internal struggle - beaten into a coma by Thanos only to then come out of it...
During the events of Civil War II, (view spoiler)[Jennifer Banner/She-Hulk was nearly killed by Thanos - the encounter left Jen in a coma. After waking up from a coma, Jen learns of the death of her cousin, Bruce Banner. (hide spoiler)] Now reeling from these events, Jen tries to pick herself up and get her life back on track, but with much difficulty.This is only the second She-Hulk title I’ve read (the first Charles Soules’ run), but I’m happy to say I really enjoyed this! It’s certainly high
Ha, ha, Marvel! You can't fool me four times in a row. This time I actually knew this series was canceled before I began reading the first volume. So there!The pace is slow, but I felt the time was used well until the sort of silly climactic fight scene. I prefer the super-confident, fun-loving She-Hulk of the past, but I'm willing to follow this newest iteration to see how the traumatized Jen Walters comes through this period of hardship and how long the gray-with-green-highlights phase lasts.
She-Hulk, Volume 1: Deconstructed takes its premise from Civil War II so if you’ve not read that event and wanna avoid spoilsies, check that out before this. Years ago I used to think indie comics creators would write better superhero comics if given the chance. I’m pretty much completely turned around on that idea now, especially as indie comics creator Mariko Tamaki has written such a fucking awful She-Hulk here! Jen Walters/She-Hulk was put into a coma by Thanos in the Civil War II lead-in, w...
I'm a She-Hulk fan... big time. To the point I write turn based rp using her as a character. After her incident in CW2 I was curious what they were going to do with her. She's grey, and she's Hulk now. She's not a She-Hulk. We are seeing inside the mind of someone suffering PTSD. Quiet literally because Jen still does some subtle fourth wall. As a whole, I enjoyed this series. One of the issues literally nothing happened! I was a bit upset. There was not release this week and I'm upset again. I'...
I love She-Hulk but haven't read Civil Wars so I was wondering if I could jump into the story. That turned out not to be a problem since the author got me invested in how She-Hulk handles her trauma and the strangeness of her powers. Good to see that Patsy is not pushing her, but stands by her.
A disclaimer or two first:1) I've been a fan of She-Hulk as long as I can remember. I've read from Savage She-Hulk thru the John Bryne run, the Dan Slott(et al) run, right up to this current run. And while some runs were better than others, I"ve mostly enjoyed them all, so this review might be a bit biased.2) I'm reading the single issues as they're published, so this is a review of the FIRST ISSUE, which is all that's out at this point. I'll try to update this review as I read further.ISSUE ONE...
