I think I saw Razorback on an upcoming cover too!
Gasp! Razorback!!! Talk about an obscure crappy Spider-Man character from the seventies!

There's actually a precedent for Razorback appearing in SHE-HULK... Byrne used him along with the Space Truckers of US1 in a storyline when he was working on Sensational. They fought Spragg, the Living Hill and his people... :rolleyes:

I'm glad you've also converted, Pov! There seems to be a new Legion World convert for each new issue of She-Hulk!
And Drake, thanks for the link! I'm glad they picked this issue to give the free preview.

I just read the issue # 5 preview at MileHigh. I thought it was pretty good but I have a question. Does anyone know if Figment or Southpaw have appeared before this issue? I thought they were interesting characters.

I'd never seen either of them before, but my MARVEL knowledge is nowhere near my DC knowledge.

I don't know about Figment (or Silencer either), but I think I read somewhere that Southpaw was original (don't remember where though). I'm wondering about the 8-Ball headed guy. I think I've seen him before but I don't remember -- what's the deal with that guy?? (btw, it was nice to see guys like the U-Foes and Grey Gargoyle again)

I think that 8-ball headed guy came from Sleepwalker.

He reminded me of Ruby Thursday, the DEFENDERS villain from the Headmen with the big round red ball for a head!

IIRC, the Headmen (including Ruby) appeared in Byrne's She-Hulk series.

"The same thing we do every night, Bouncing Boy: try to take over the United Planets!!"
They're B.B. and The Brain ...

I think they're last appearance was in the brief Larsen/Busiek Defenders series.
Marvel is really missing the boat by not utilizing their forty-five years worth of super-villians.

I got a chance to look through issue 6 today on lunch, on a visit to see my buddy Guy down at my old comic shop. Let's just say there's no lack of villians in THIS one, okay?  And I can't wait to actually get this in my subscription delivery. I stood at the counter reading dialogue out loud and laughing! This might just be the best title Marvel's currently putting out!

It definately is a contender! I can't wait for the next issue. It is definately the funniest and most fun title out right now.

 This wasn't in my holds this week. I requested it a couple of months ago and still haven't seen an issue. At least I can download it to keep up. And I agree, funniest and one of the top three books out there right now. The other two being Legion and The Walking Dead.

Well, the best thing about it was the way absorbing man bent over backwards to give up, i thought.
Damn you, you kids! Get off my lawn or I'm callin' tha cops!

-- I loved the spotlight on Awesome Andy in #6 - very cute! -- Again, using comic books as legal precedent was nicely played (and if things in Avengers turn out as some have theorized, an interesting foreshadowing regarding Hank Pym's fate). -- Biggest laugh for me -- the "8-ball" line (I knew he had to be there for a reason - this was the payoff!) -- I miss the quirkiness of the previous artist though - he was perfectly suited to the humor of this book

I miss him too, but the art was beautiful in this two parter! My favorite scene was the page were Andy decides on being loyal to the Thinker or She-Hulk. We see the Thinker pointing at the Avengers, the FF and the X-Men yelling at the Android "Destroy Them!". An excellent history of the Silver Age Thinker  Good to see the Aborbing Man, Electro and Tiger Shark and the U-Foes!

Something else else horrible usually happens to them rather than simply being caught and hauled away, so I'm always glad to see they're still in one piece.

All those are faves of mine (especially Electro, since he's a Spidey villian). Crusher Creel has the potential to take on the whole Marvel U, Tiger Shark is supposed to be as badass as they come, and the U-Foes are supposed to be merciless. I'm just glad to see them all, and the Thinker too! In a fun story that didn't degrade them *too* much
