it's still better than that last she-hulk with the ugly art style where it focused on her career as a lawyer. That was just disgusting. Eyelids like vaginas

@lxlgiftedlxl: you may be right. but after the first issue i didnt have the smallest desire to read another- thats how i feel about thу art. I mean i may not like Sandoval drawing the new venom, or Del Mundos work on Avengers (2017) (i mean clearly its a fine piece of art but i dont like it) - we all have different tastes, but Pulidos ( I believe thats the artists' name) work just makes me wana puke, even though Soule is a good writer

SHE Hulk is mad and depressed over bad art and poor writing. I would suggest a comfort pig,a can of playdoh and a coloring book.

I'll agree that how she got here is from a poorly written series, but it's unfair to say this series will be poorly written because of it.

@corch: I get where your coming from art is an important part of a comic, but I would say you should at least for the sake of the story finish the Jen's last run; as its pretty good.

@timelordscience: True they are yet at Marvel lately they are one in the same, a long winded decompressed story line where a character is deconstructed and often never build back up due to a relaunch.

@shehulk528: I hate the concept people bring up " If you truly liked the character you would support the book". People like certain characters for many different reasons, plenty of She-Hulk fans loved her for her humor and how she was in control of who she is. It made her special this book purposely takes that away so why would they waste 4 bucks an issue to read a story they are not interested in?

If you want to read it, you should read it. The original heroes won't be gone forever, why not a series that might be really good, while they are away. All-New Wolverine, Totally Awesome Hulk, Old-Man Logan, CA: Sam Wilson, Ant-Man, Ms. Marvel, Ultimates (in a sense) are all books with heroes or teams that have been replaced, but that didn't keep them from being good.

@slimebeherit: Funny you mentioned Antman because Nick Spencer's run did the one thing that pisses me off the most about comics these days. He ignored all the progress Scott made in FF, Wrote out Darla pretty lazily, then brought back Cassie in the most anti climactic way.

Every issue I read of the series it felt like it was a left over Story from Foe's he edited to fit in Scott.

Its kinda cool to see so many people that can see into the future of this run and give it a thumbs down off the bat. "Jennifer was always funny" they say and adding trauma makes it unreadable. That anger can ruin a title that has "Hulk" in it.

Sounds just like those morons that say "The Hulk is a big guy with rage and is strong so boring" meaning they have never been a fan or knew the character at all.

I'll wait and see what happens with She-Hulk which seems pretty difficult for people to do these days. lol

That's not what they say. They say the important part about She-Hulk was her personality and that neglecting her personality for some dumb chip on her shoulder and the same lame anger concept most writers fail to make work to begin with is gonna ruin HER CHARACTER, because it destroys it for just another lame Hulk-ripoff.

But good job not even being able to read text in the present that was written in the past.

She-Hulk was considered a rip off character when she was first introduced back at her creation as that was the trend to make female versions of popular male superheroes but that was way back when as everyone knows she came into her own with said personality and is not considered a Hulk-ripoff now.

That said that lame anger concept has worked for the original Hulk character for many decades so how could it not partially work for her now? That in itself is saying you know how it will turn out before it comes out just based on a short preview of this article.

You talk about destroying the character when Marvel has been seriously messing around with their original heroes with pail versions so why not She-Hulk? Will it work maybe not as I'm waiting for my favorite hero to come back.

In She-Hulk's current storyline it is pretty evident just why she would have emotional problems but many readers want Marvel writers to just skip all that and get back to being the same ol Jen. I hate it when they do that as the continuity is interupted making it very difficult to care about anything that happens to them storywise. One minute they hate another hero then next issue problem solved and everyone is best buds again. Idiotic. Certain people have to have at least some level of care about these heroes to keep paying for futher issues.

That's a rather good job stating a knee jerk reaction to my comment to try and emphasize your point for the future reading by me of your current comment while denying mine that was stated in the past because well its "Your opinion" right? lol

Your point being? She became her own character and now they are tossing that out the window...

That said that lame anger concept has worked for the original Hulk character for many decades so how could it not partially work for her now? That in itself is saying you know how it will turn out before it comes out just based on a short preview of this article.

I do, because we've seen Marvel do this already in the last years. And multiple other titles will be marketed the same. There is a marketing campaign that pretends to extend on a character but is really just cutting it down till you can package it as a more popular franchise. With the only goal being for it to have the estimated numbers before the next renumbering with no regards being given to creativity or continuity.

You talk about destroying the character when Marvel has been seriously messing around with their original heroes with pail versions so why now She-Hulk? Will it work maybe not as I'm waiting for my favorite hero to come back.

What's your point? She-Hulk doesn't matter because the same atrocious shit is done to more popular characters or that its okay this time because She-Hulk is more promising than the other heroes put into more popular mantles? Because if something isn't super horrible but just horrible it's still horrible you know. More importantly however Hulk will at one point return with at least his basic characteristics due to being an A-Lister. She-Hulk might end up being permanently destroyed, because she is not nearly as iconic.

That's a rather good job stating a knee jerk reaction to my comment to try and emphasize your point for the future reading of your current comment while denying mine that was stated in the past because well its "Your opinion" right? lol

And once again I don't get this paragraphs point, but if you aren't reading peoples comments properly to group them together as something they aren't so that you can post your ignorant comment, that would have been justified if Marvel hadn't already spent the last few years doing this bullshit, you will have to live with me pointing it out I'm afraid.

Point being a character changes and evolves but She-Hulk is suppose to stay the same? Marvel is doing changes left and right but don't touch this title? They don't seem to be changing the background characters much but to keep the "Everything is bad so far so everything will be bad" mentality won't do anything.

That said that lame anger concept has worked for the original Hulk character for many decades so how could it not partially work for her now? That in itself is saying you know how it will turn out before it comes out just based on a short preview of this article.

I do, because we've seen Marvel do this already in the last years. And multiple other titles will be marketed the same. There is a marketing campaign that pretends to extend on a character but is really just cutting it down till you can package it as a more popular franchise. With the only goal being for it to have the estimated numbers before the next renumbering with no regards being given to creativity or continuity.

So let them do it then it will be over that much faster so they can see the damage and go back to where they are suppose to be which bringing the heroes back on track. And OMG Marvel wants to make profit? Blasphemy. Every company that tried to stay the same always shuts down permanently eventually. Do I like it no but it's their company.

You talk about destroying the character when Marvel has been seriously messing around with their original heroes with pail versions so why now She-Hulk? Will it work maybe not as I'm waiting for my favorite hero to come back.

More importantly however Hulk will at one point return with at least his basic characteristics due to being an A-Lister. She-Hulk might end up being permanently destroyed, because she is not nearly as iconic.

You may not consider her iconic but to others she already is so at least they can hope to return her back to who she is after the hero shuffle is over because she does matter. Something can be horrible but it has been shown through history that something good could come out of it and hopefully when it happens that this title comes out for the better.

That's a rather good job stating a knee jerk reaction to my comment to try and emphasize your point for the future reading of your current comment while denying mine that was stated in the past because well its "Your opinion" right? lol

You don't seem to get the point either. Was the comment ignorant because, you said so yourself, you don't understand it or did you not bother to give it any thought? Your the one who wants to look on the downside with just a look at this title like many others and if you don't see that and continue "Marvel bad grr" before reading it then I don't care sorry. lol

This was an addition to the original post so I added it here.

In She-Hulk's current storyline it is pretty evident just why she would have emotional problems but many readers want Marvel writers to just skip all that and get back to being the same old Jen. I hate it when they do that as the continuity is interrupted making it very difficult to care about anything that happens to them storywise.

@br_havoc: I'm saying you have to waste spend your money,but if you guys loved that She Hulk with Humor,why not see her guide herself back to that state of mind.Everything is always a problem for someone.Every body can't have what they want all the time.You people are just to hard to please.It's just crazy,I bring that concept because it's true.Dont care if you hate it or not.The series hasn't even came out but here are all these criticizers.

Some times you guys have to keep your negative comments to yourself,cause you never know how they affect other's.Things like that take major tolls on me. (But I'm gonna get into that.)Have a nice day everyone!

@shehulk528: For many people it's a pointless journey because it's a series overview for an idea that is more warranted as an arc. We all know she will become happy again so for people that hate this concept, they don't care about the journey but they do care that she arrives at her destination of happiness again. I think the response to this would be better if people where not burned out on Marvel's status quo changes for every character due to a shitty event, and long winded stories that span a full series ( Now 12 issues at Marvel).

I wish they would stop doing these female superhero books with these dumbed down art styles. Nico Leon doesn't work for a Hulk book. He can do teenage superheroes like Kamala Khan or Miles Morales but this just doesn't fit.
