Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Dr. Gym'll's Cultural Rarities SHE-Hulk!

Hey, didja see the Marvel Spotlight magazine/comics thingie featuring Joss Whedon? In a sidebar he named a few Marvel characters in whom he has potential interest. Including guess who?


>>>On topic 'cause Jen's a lawyer and lawyers do sidebars and stuff.

Cheese & crackers! A Joss-written Patsy would kick ass!

I know the tarnishing of Starfox was tough to take, but I hope people are still reading this! # 14's spotlight on Awesome Andy was... well, awesome and touching.

# 15 sports a hella-fun Steranko-inspired cover by Greg Horn and features the lovely Cheesecake: Agent of SHIELD, who I am sure will gain lots of fans (like me!).

Loving Burchett's art, but I agree with the letter-writer who wants her to look taller.

I assume something dreadful was done to the Hulk during Civil War which is why we now are a "Planet Without a Hulk"?

LASH, the Hulk was tricked into getting rocketed off Earth. I believe Nick Fury, Reed Richards, and Tony Stark were behind it.

And I love this title. See in the right setting I can take silliness and love it.

Gail off BoP, now Dan leaving Shulkie...

NOOOOOoooooOOOOOOOOO!!


Gosh... this also means I'll be buying my first issue of Amazing Spider-Man in YEARS.

Newsarama has an in interview with Dan Slott about his departure...

Well, I'm glad to hear about the GREAT LAKES INITIATIVE, anyway...

Sad to see him leave She-Hulk, but if Slott is on Spider-Man, this could be the most exciting comic book thing for me since, well, since I first starting reading Spider-Man!

But I do love Slott's Shulkie! I wonder if Marvel can keep this title going w/o Slott? You'd think that maybe post WWH, there'd be a chance...

Even if they erase the marriage before he starts (I certainly seem to recall Slott making less-than-complimentary remarks on the Spider-Marriage...)

I'd be happy if the marriage could somehow be undone. I've yet to find an actual Spider-Man fan who reads every issue every month off the stands who doesn't feel the same way. The only people who would be outraged seem to be the ones who don't buy Spider-Man comics but would be angered by the context/act/nature of 'undoing the marriage' itself. At this point, I'm more concerned about the future of exciting, dramatic Spider-Man stories with the real Peter Parker.

(Not saying you're a fan of the marriage or anything 'Boot, just felt I should add my own opinion, which seems similar to Slott's).

*is a fan of the marriage*

Even if the marriage could go away, I'm not sure how it could be done in regards to execution and maintain any level of credibility. I'm not sure if anyone at Marvel cares about that, of course.

I mean, killing MJ seems repetitive and a waste of a great character. Divorcing is out of the question. 'Undoing' via the Scarlet Witch or something seems like it could be disastrous, forced and editorially underhanded.

Of course, when was the last time MJ was written well in the comics? I'd say pre-Clone Saga, pre-Peter's fake parents via the Chameleon, waaaay back in the early 90's/late 80's. That was the last time MJ was written well, without appearing weak, whiney, uncaring, boring or out of character. I do think it can be done though...of course, there seems to be tons of writers that really don't want to try.

I'd kill for a well-written Spidey comic with Peter married to MJ or not...(I do like MJ of course)...

Don't you two have a Spider-Man thread you can post to?

(You made me get all on-topic and stuff... )

Joe Q said they won't kill or divorce them (since widowed or divorced Spider-Man is "worse" than married Spider-Man). That leaves "Scarlet Witching" it (or the equivalent). "Genie in the bottle" and all that, and there's speculation they'll do that and "fix" the public ID in One More Day.

Oh, and Sensational Spider-Man Annual #1. Three weeks back.

Meh, if it needs "fixed", Gary'll have to do it at this point

Jillikers, I already posted about Shulkie Pov! And here I thought you would be able to give me the names of some potential writers besides Slott who could keep this comic running at full speed!

Everyone on Legion World is always trying to 'fix' me

But, alas, none of us have succeeded.

Okay, so I'm hoping that with #18 will come the return of the Jen's lawfirming stuff. Seriously-- Slott's v2 of She-Hulk sort of reminds me of BKV's v2 of Runaways. I still like it but I don't love it.

And where's Pug? I miss him... Was so sad when he never made his move.

No biggie.

And Slott only teased that he's excited to read whoever's taking over-- no hints to their identity.

I'm a fan of Spidey's marriage. Not a fan of She-Hulk's recent marriage though. This issue came out yesterday...anyone read it?

I enjoyed the heck out of seeing She-Hulk give Tony Stark a tiny taste of what he so richly deserves.

I think her support of him and his initiative have kept me from enjoying the past few issues of this title.

Some characters, it wouldn't matter in the slightest, but her status as a defense lawyer made her support of Tony hard for me to swallow.

The fact that she was shown sleeping with Tony in some recent title or other (Mighty Avengers?) simultaneously heightened and diminished their battle here. L'il Dr. Doom got the last laugh, he thinks, by 'permanently' transforming She-Hulk into Jennifer Walters. Her vow at the end, that he *really* was in for it now, had the ring of truth.

I hope the creators find a way to keep both settings and casts around. I didn't like the SHIELD carrier, at first, but I've grown to think it's pretty cool. Same for Clay Quartermain and co. A little too close to what's going on in MS. MARVEL at the same time, perhaps.

Maybe the ladies can share one?

The law offices have gotten scant story. And if they *have* to choose, I suppose that's the setting that's most liable to give She-Hulk the room to prosper.

ML - read IH106, then WWH:World Breaker now (in that order), which are the "next" two appearances of She-Hulk...

Thanks for the info, Reboot. Are both of those already on the stands?

And do you need to have read all the recent Hulk-in-space stuff? 'Cause I didn't, though I wanted to and couldn't quite afford it. (Actually, I forgot to pre-order it and the earliest issues sold out at my CBS-- making me a tradesitter. Not sure if my B&N has received the Planet Hulk TBs yet).

They've both been out for, oh, three weeks or so (SH18's a full month late - it was meant to be out before both).

The Planet Hulk *HC* (not TPB) is due out the same day as WWH #1 in comic shops (I'm not sure whether TPBs/etc come out at exactly the same time in bookshops as comic shops or not).

And it's not strictly necessary - <i>World Breaker</i> exists in large part to bring you up to speed - but it helps.
