Oh yeah. Me too, that should be hysterical! In Slott I may have found a new "favorite writer"!
Jorge, SPIDER-WOMAN (Julia) is featured (flashbacks only) in the Titania issue, # 10.
Hercules has a big, excellent role in the previous issue, # 9! Good stuff!

Finally read SINGLE GREEN FEMALE... really enjoyed it. I thought the whole 'Big House' sequence was great.
Has there been any news about the scheduling of the 'second volume' of SHE-HULK? Or who the artist will be?
I have to confess, I hope there's a little less Southpaw and more Awesome Andy and the mysterious lawyer guy... and more Doc Samson, too!
If SHE-HULK is Ally McBeal for superheroes, maybe DOC SAMSON could be the Newhart of Marvel! Hmmm-- She Hulk as lawyer, Doc as psych counselor, Madrox as investigator, Henry Pym as physician, Wasp as image consultant... maybe this group of Marvel Heroes could open a 'one-stop shopping' superhero support service.

I would love to see Hank as a physician. I loved his Dr. Pym thing and believes it work best for him. I forgive Slott for having him appear as YJ in the series.  Hank works best as a Doc not a superduperhero.

Well, it was an uphill battle trying to get to read Shulkie # 11, but I *finally* made it!!
Wow! After the sympathy Slott managed to raise in me for Titania last issue, he held nothing back in ripping every ounce of it to tatters with this issue. What a bitch!!
I'm worried for Shulkie, and glad Doc Sampson is there. Seeing Titania's rampage at the Law Office was genuinely scary.
Still room for some yuks, though. Had to laugh at Champion's fate (even though I feel it isn't over for him and look for him to appear in # 12) and poor Doc Samson, giving a thumbs-up and weak "I'm okay" whie lying buried under a girder that knocked his shoe off.
I won't be able to take a long delay between She-Hulk volumes or I'll go mad. Povvins, Oracle Boy-- has anyone heard anything?!?

Well, both Slott and Pelletier are in the credits for GLA, don't know if that's a mini or not... Slott could write two or more books, I'm sure, but if PP is the artist for the next volume of Shulkie, they'll put it off until he's done with the Great Lakes guys.

Speaking of GLA, here's a peek at the cover and solicits for #1: S * P * O * I * L * E * R * S: Written by Dan Slott Pencils & Cover by Paul Pelletier
They are the Great Lake Avengers, the guys who got the shortest end of the super-hero stick. But with the REAL Avengers disassembled, they're going to try to step up to the plate and deal with one of their most powerful villains! Can they save the day? Well, we just hope these guys can save themselves! THIS ISSUE: A GREAT LAKE AVENGER DIES! (Besides Mr. Immortal, duh.) Special appearances by: Captain America, Thor, the Vision, the Scarlet Witch, and Hawkeye.

This'll probably be fun-- though I don't really have any connection to those characters.
I'd rather have more issues of SHE-HULK, to tell the truth. But I'll probably give the Great Lakes Avengers a try, solely based on the writer.
When *will* SHE-HULK vol 2 (or is that 3?) be scheduled!!???

Back in the Fall, when it was announced SHE-HULK was getting cancelled, a relaunch was talked about sometime this Spring. In interviews as recently as November, Slott mentioned a possible May release. I don't know if that's still the plan tho'.
Just spouting off.

#12... and thus the series... has now come and gone. Sigh.
In the book, one of the charactes mentions that it'll be eight months before the law firm reopens... d'ya think that's a little shout-out to the fans about how long they'll be waiting for the next Hulkalicious issue?
Too dang long.
I really hope Doc Samson hangs around...

Todd, that does indeed sound like what Slott was doing, and I totally appreciate the heads-up from him. Don't have the issue yet, but can't wait.
Here's hoping She-Hulk V2 is the mammoth success it deserves to be!
Meanwhile, I will enjoy GREAT LAKES AVENGERS in She-Hulk's absence.

THE END. Spoilers for # 12.
WHAT A FANTASTIC SERIES.
Issue 12 ended strong.
Stuff I loved:
Wanda's spell from # 1 being used to save the day.
Every scene the Lion of Olympus appeared in, he's hilarious and perfect for Slott's writing.
The way Mr. Holliway convinced Reed to save Awesome Andy.
The Comic Book Store scenes.
Ditto somewhat redeeming himself by helping save the day.
The punch that lays Titania out coming from jennifer Walters, not She-Hulk.
The Ant Farm.
And I felt that, yes, the final panels were aimed directly t us SHE-HULK fans... "It'll be FUN again? Interesting cases? Strange adventures?" "Yes" "When?" "Eight months."
And so, I will wait patiently for the return of MY FAVORITE COMIC and do my best to spread the She-Hulk doctrine in the meantime.
Thanks for an incredible run, Misters Slott, Pelletier and Bobo!

It does suck that it will be that long, but well worth the wait if it holds up like this series did. I will most definately be there. Any idea on the artist involved?
Damn you, you kids! Get off my lawn or I'm callin' tha cops!
Something pithy!

Rick, I'm pretty sure GL AVENGERS is going to be a mini, so I don't see any reason why Pelletier can't return for V2.
Meanwhile, I hope MARVEL uses the 8 month break to formulate a massive push for SHE-HULK V2.
Obviously they want it to succeed, instead of cancelling it outright.

One thing that perturbed me a bit - even in comic books do comic book readers have to be drawn so stereotypically geeky? Sure, they helped save the day, but lord knows it did nothing to break the stereotype.

That scene didn't bother me. Comics are already too full of beautiful people. Let the geeks have some airtime, too.

YAY!! I really dig his unique style, although I think Pelletier would be more of a "fan-favorite" choice for artist.
