A certain poster recommended this book to me, saying it "reads like a Matter-Eater Lad adventure" which is a gaurantee that I will sample it!

Scored issues 2 & 3 today and am looking forward to them!

I only read the first issue of this series, and was quite impressed. The best of Marvels new books that came out March.

Never been a She-Hulk fan at all, but the freshness and humor won me over.
Drunken Super-Heroes always make for a good time!
If only Alpha Flight could be this good.
God knows I love funny comics, but Scott Lodbel just isn't my cup of tea.

She-Hulk's a pretty good read and I was never a big fan of the character. The premise of a lawfirm tackling superhuman related legal issues is turning out to be pretty fun and inventive so far. And I really like the art.

I LOVE THIS BOOK!

2 complete and satisfying tales told in 2 issues? I thought that wasnt possible anymore!

Fantastic & hilarious usage of characters such as The Mad Thinker's Awesome Android and Dr. Strange!

Wonderful Art!

And is Jennifer likable or what?

If this quality maintains, this book will swiflty enter my personal top 5.

And because it's so different and well-done, expect its cancellation with issue # 12.

DAMN IT!! Now I gotta hunt down issue 1. STUPID Marvel with their STUPID pin-up-covers policy that don't really tell DIDDLY about what's in the book itself!!

I totally agree! It's such a cool concept, they need to get that across on the covers -- they can't expect people to pick up the book just cuz of her image - it's far from a sure thing.

She-Hulk has been a good read so far. I like the in-jokeyness of it.

I agree with the rest of you. I picked up this title not knowing what to expect and I have been pleasantly surprised.

I mean, okay... the pin-up covers policy might be okay for "sure-thing" titles like X-Men and Spider-Man, but for the offbeat stuff like She-Hulk, let it GO!!!

Thank ALL that's SACRED that Milligan & Allred's X-STATIX has apparently never been bound by this idiotic policy!

Don't they do that same thing on the covers to Mystique and Emma's books too? Covers that have nothing to do with the story? I find it offputting and it maybe the reason I didn't give the book a second look (any of them really) when I saw it on the self. Very bad way to hook new readers. At least ones who will stick with the book and don't just want a beaver shot on every cover.

There are a bunch of Marvel books that are like that -- most of the X-titles, Daredevil, Iron Man, Captain America & Falcon, Iron Fist, Ultimate FF, Marvel Knights FF("4") to name a few more that I can think of off the top of my head.

She-Hulk is Slottirific and Bobillotastic! And funny, too!


Why are you laughing at me? It's unkind, as well as puzzling!

Holey Moley!

I picked this book up soley on this thread and Lash's recommendation (and the rest of you), so thanks to whoever reccommended it to him!

I got issue #2, and I loved it! Hysterical! The Awesome Android working in the office! Dr. Strange! Danger Man's origin as a legal suit! This might be the funniest comic in the current market. I will pick up #3 next week and add it to my list!

Anyone not reading it: I highly reccommend it!

Holey Moley! She-Hulk #4 kicks friggin' ass! As long-time die-hard Spidey fan, this was one of the most enjoyable and fun issues of any comics I've ever read.

Jonah Jameson on trial for spreading lies about Spidey! The lawyer brings up one of my favorite (and most funny) aspects of Spidey's life: everyone he knows is related to a super-villian!! JJJ created the Scorpioin, Robbie Robertson grew up with Tombstone, Gloria Grant dated the Lobo Bros., Frederick Foswell was the Big Man, and even Peter Parker was almost the nephew of Doc Ock lol smile

And the ending cracked me up completely! SPOILERS Peter Parker roped in and sued to Spidey has to settle, and then Peter and JJJ in chicken suits! "Yolks up! Bugle's vendetta is over easy!" lol

This issue touched on more Spider-man supporting cast members, past storylines, obscure story threads of the last forty years and obscure characters than the last fifteen years of Spider-Man's own comic. Jumpin Catfish! I'm oozing excitement!

Enough is enough! Buy She-Hulk! Read it! Add it to your pull list! Love it forever!

I got it today and cant wait to read it! I haven't read what you said Cobie until I do read it. But your thread title is very encouraging!

SHE-HULK comes with my HIGHEST POSSIBLE RECCOMENDATION based on issues 2 & 3. Wonderful stuff.

STILL can't find issue 1, dagnabbit!

Can't find issue 1 or 3 dagnabbit! I still blame the Marvel cover system!

You are going to *love* this issue Lash. Make it one of the first ones you read!

I agree -- great Spidey story! Even the way he was visually depicted here was not only new and interesting, but totally in keeping with the character (like his pose in the witness chair). It even had a moment of dead seriousness that touches on the core of the Spidey concept when he's cross examined by JJ's lawyer. The coup de grace for the Scorpion fight was my favorite moment in any comic this week.

I don't know how well this title sells, but Marvel is doing such a disservice to the title by not even hinting at the wonderfully imaginative stories on the cover.

The first issue was amusing, but I never did get around to getting any of the subsequent ones. Maybe I'll look for them in the store this week.

Issue 4 continues the trend from issue 2 & 3-- great 1-ISSUE stories (yes, Virginia, there IS such a thing) with completely charming artwork.

If She-Hulk fails salewise it is absolutely unacceptable!!
