Yep! She-Hulk rocks! Everyone should try it... NOW!
Why are you laughing at me? It's unkind, as well as puzzling!

 I need issues two and four. Hopefully the guys at my store will find them for me. One was funny as hell, and three was pretty interesting. Not as good as one, but still, it was more about the interplay between Jen and Book than anything else, the mystery was jus' a lil' bonus to me. Still, i am liking it.
Damn you, you kids! Get off my lawn or I'm callin' tha cops!
Something pithy!

Rick, that's funny, cuz I have 2 and 4 but am missing 1 and 3. Two is hysterical and 4 is probably one of the funniest comics I've read in my entire comic book reading life.
Now I need to pick up the two I'm missing...

The preview for #5 is up at ComicsContinuum and I laughed out loud three times just from reading the four page preview!! It's also got the New Warriors in action, John Jameson (as seen on the silver screen!) and great art from Pelletier (looking very Zeck-like). Go read it now and see how friggin funny this book is!!

#5 Continues this series' inventive take on criminal prosecution in the DCU. The "Big House" was a great concept and provided some good laughs (She-Hulk's reaction to the Wrecking Crew in particular). The security did seem a bit lax though and even though I can buy in a title like this that prisoners would be allowed to still be in costume, it makes even less sense to allow them to interact. Still, the Thinker's plan was fun to watch unfold and we're left with a nice little cliffhanger (especially if Mandrake decides to crawl up She-Hulk's nose...).

This might be my favorite issue yet, even more than the Spidey one. There weren't as many laugh out loud moments, but the whole idea of this large army of super-villians in 'Ant-Man' size breaking out and hiding on She-Hulk's body had me smiling a huge grin the whole time.
Very amusing, very fun! Lots of cool moments for the Thinker, and the Scorpion gets an unpleasant surprise.

I used to be a big J. Byrne fan and he got me to love She-Hulkie with his stint. But this is the best She-Hulk ever. What is it about the character that lends itself to humor?

This title is quickly becoming one of my favorites, right up there with the Legion and Walking Dead as first reads.

WOW!
SHE-HULK gets BETTER every MONTH!
I *loved* issue # 5!
Pelletier's art was great, but I missed the tone set by the previous artist... is he gone in favor of the bigger-"NAME" talent of Pelletier?
This issue had more interesting concepts and ideas that all of the other MARVEL comics I read this week combined.
SHE-HULK has definitely become one of my top 5 reads as of this issue!
I even thought the cover was improved-- at least Shulkie was DOING something, rather than just posing... and I loved the detail on the gloves.

Marvel needs to get away from the poster-style covers. They're the main reason I never bothered with Ultimate Spidey.
I picked up Shulkie 2-5 today, on alla your recommendations. Don't make me sorry I trusted ya!

I read issue 4 this morning-- If any of the current Spidey books were like this, I'd probably be collecting a Spidey book.  ~~

Well, I burned through 2,3 and 5 as well, and it's official... this book is now on my preorders list.  I love the fact that most of these have been stand-alone issues, as has been mentioned. And that the firm's library for superhuman law looks suspiciously like my comic collection.  The writing's clever, engaging, and Jen's fellow firm associates are fleshed-out as are the myriad of MU guests-- love Dr. Strange and the Thing! And as big a fan of Paul P's work as I am, I enjoy Bobillo's work on this book even more. Hopefully, Pelletier is just drawing the two-issue "Big Picture" Arc before getting another steady gig, so Juan B can keep producing pages that are as fun to look at as they are to read! Thanks, guys. Helluva recommendation! ~~

Yay! Another convert!
I was as shocked as could be that another MARVEL title would find its way to my pull-list... and wouldn't have believed it would be SHE-HULK in a million years!
Guess it's keeping the balance since I lost INHUMANS and will lose X-STATIX soon.

*Gasp* -- the cover to She-Hulk #8 depicts...CAPTAIN ULTRA!! I love this guy!! Too bad the covers never convey what's inside this book (the description doesn't seem to match either). Oh, and in case you're color-blind and don't know who I'm talkin' about: ![[Linked Image]](http://members.aol.com/Dekko/ultra.gif)

Oh, I very well remember CAPTAIN ULTRA, from that wonderful 70s Fantastic 4 arc where the Frightful 4 had tryouts... he was deathly afraid of fire. Is he still, I wonder?
