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

Cobieism is alive and well in Connecticut!

Just be glad you've got an ocean between you an him... and

Yeah, I agre # 4 wasn't my favorite, but it really was a necessary tale to be told.

Thank gawd Dan is so skilled in the long-lost art of the 1-issue story! Someone else would have made a gawdawful 8-issue "AT LAST!!! SHE-HULK RETURNS TO BONE!!!!" dreadful 'event' out of it. *cringe*

Hmmm, don't know what to say about the new issue. I really never read avengers except for the Busiek/Perez run, so i don't know anything about Starfox.

The art seemed a little raw, and perhaps this time there was too much...too much, but it wasn't bad.

The cover on the other hand...man, this guy likes to draw women, lol.

Anyway, the primary antagonist, Book, is a little off-putting, but then, i guess she is supposed to be. Andy is cool. Love how the artist drew the broken heart to show is mood. Lots of nice, little things.

I guess i can't help feeling that I'm waiting for more of a bite to the book. Just one issue, maybe it was more of a sour mood from work that did it than the actual book, but there ya go, lol.

Wow. Where's the shulkie luv, folks?

SHE-HULK 2 #6

Starfox is a fun character... though wasn't he more of an 'equal opportunity' seducer? Maybe I just imagined that he 'worked' both genders. The way his power affected Jen/Jamieson and Awesome Andy/Book was fun... but it does sort of seem like the character was used in this story only to further those subplots.

What is up with the 'sinister' senior partner?

Mystery Lad, Eros from what I remember has never been shown romancing the same sex. But I remember him being pretty poetic about Mar-Vell...and maybe there was a line somewhere about him visiting earth and being fond of a human male in ancient greek times.

IMO he does bat both ways.

Anyways the story was fun. I'm a big Starfox fan and wished to see a more serious side to him but I knew I wouldn't get it here.

Shulkie and Eros shared a bed back in Avengers 230 something. heh.

Starfox tried to have his way with Jarvis back in the Stern-Milgrom-Sinnott era, I believe...What a guy!

"Oh, I could never stay mad at your Eros."

Starfox, like Two-Gun, Andy, hell even the Guardsman, is just fun. Slott proves once again that he can top himself each issue.

I think Slott's Two Gun Kid might be my favorite character he's written so far, and I love almost all of 'em!

Space-Virgins! Space-Monsters! Space-Haylofts! Space-Farmer's Daughters! Space-Bars! Space-Bimbos!

Dan Slott! What can't you love about him?

Yep, it's true... SHE-HULK # 6 could possibly be... THE WORLD'S GREATEST COMIC MAGAZINE!

Hmmm, don't know what to say about this one. Seems like Leonard is trying to find out why Shulkie's power is still blocked, and it may have something to do with her mental state more than anyone suspected.

When she realizes that Eros may have used his whammy on her, she goes apecrap and kicks the snot outta him. Leonard mentions magic and Dr. Strange before that, but who knows what lurkes in the mind of the gamma-green coifed Dr.

And is it just me, or is he starting to look like the steroid guy for the Ican'tbelieveit'snotbutter, spray campaign?

Anyway, so so wrapup.

Does anyone else think the book is loosing steam?

While I admire the 'realistic' take on someone with Starfox's powers *and* I realize that it's a logical extrapolation of how he's been shown to use those powers, I just don't *like* him as the cad to end all cads.

I think that any god walking among men would get the reactions that Eros gets, to some degree. Thor, Hercules, Ares... if they *really* existed and were among us, they'd get female (and male) attention/fascination/obsession wherever they went. A god would exude something that would draw us. It'd take an active force of will to *supress* it, I'd think.

That's not the 'reality' of comic book gods-as-heroes, though. In Eros' case, I wonder if he even *consciously* controls his 'come-hitherness'.
You could argue that 'it' is what he *is*, rather than something he *does*. He's a god named 'Eros', after all. Sticking Venus or Cupid with a rape charge would seem so.... petty, in a way. And perfectly 21st century.

Though I didn't *like* the most recent issue, it's certainly made me think a bit. However Starfox's case turns out, it'll cast his future appearance in a different light.

Though I didn't like Eros cast in the role he finds himself here, I *did* like the characterization it netted for SHE-HULK. Provisionally. I really don't want to read about her extensively dealing with being 'date-raped'. I don't think that's where Dan Slott is headed, but you never know. Her reaction was completely believeable, so that much I enjoyed.

#8-- so what did anyone think about the CIVIL WAR stuff? I like that Jennifer Walters thinks one way as Jennifer Walters, and a different way as SHE-HULK.

Wonder where *that'll* lead?

Nice to see Doc Samson here-- as his mini has (mercifully) concluded.

I don't know if she thinks differently when she's Jen and Shulkie - she made the differentiation that registering with the government isn't the same as having that private info leaked out to the public.

Yeesh, I just now read # 7.

I enjoyed it, UNTIL Jen went on her rampage.

Is she so sure that Starfox was using his powers on her way back when? Why didn't he use them on her when she attacked?

I think-- in Jen's case-- that he is innocent.

This issue also opens up the question of, what kind of standards do you use for a guy who is a walking "roofie"?

This issue certainly made me think. Can't say that about any old comic book.

The latest issue was only okay to me because i don't really get the civil war thing. I read very little marvel anymore.

I do think that Dan is being perhaps a little too subtle at this point with the Jen/Shulkie split personality, for lack of better ways of saying it.

The way i read it, and its entirely possible i am wrong, is that being Shulkie is like Jen being drunk. Things she might like to do as Jen but do not get done as Shulkie when her inhibitions are low.

Again, maybe i am wrong, thats just how i see it. it would be funny though if the thing that Jameson did gets lost in a kind of intervention, lol.

GRRRRR!

@#$%@!!! SPOILER ALERT! :rolleyes:

What's up with Marvel and spoiling storylines in other titles recently? Their editors forget to consult one another?

Thanks for the heads-up, Povvins-- was looking forward to reading the TGK 1-shot but have set it aside until after I read She-Hulk # 10.


re: She-Hulk # 8... I thought it was a good issue-- I'm glad SOMEone is standing up for the New Warriors... was sad to see Whatsisface-Lad had sunk so low... the story actually got me interested in CIVIL WAR, though I doubt I will buy it. I didn't recognize some of those New Warriors, but I never got the last mini (might get the TPB).

Okay, so I totally enjoyed the latest issue as ever, and am intrigued with the continuation of the "Starfox's influence" storyline, but, umm... wasn't Smith's run as penciller ridiculously brief? What's up with that?

I mean, everyone was so stoked about his joining the "cast". WTF?

Just got the Single Green Female tpb this week, and I really like it. Awesome Andy rocks!

YAY! With SHE-HULK # 10, I finally got my Hellcat appearance! Cheese & crackers, it was cool how Slott worked in info on CILVIL WAR for us non-CW readers! And Ruby Thursday appears too!

I'm pissed that Paul Smith's much-hailed stint as artist was ridiculously short, but Rick Burchett's work was very good.

What if the weird Mallory/Andy relationship and Jen/John marriage AREN'T the work of Starfox? That would sure wreck poor Pug.

I also read Slott's TWO-GUN KID special (which bridges SHE-HULK 10 & 11, so GET IT!), and it was werewolf-riffic!

I loved Burchett's art!
Pug needs to give up on Jen and give me a call.

Patsy's scene was like a normal person's response to the whole registration thing. Everybody else seems so... overheated.

I LOVED the cover to this issue. At first, I thought Man-wolf was kind of a lame partner for She-Hulk, but I'm starting to dig him. They make a goofy couple. Clearly, the reader's supposed to root for Pug-- but I'm starting to think it'd be OK if his unrequited love stayed just that.

Thumbed through next week's issue and the CBS today....this development gets a LOT more interesting!
