I guess the arrival of the She-Hulk television series must’ve been a boon for Rainbow Rowell’s comic series too, since both of the local comic book stores I’ve been to are sold out of #6. Even online retailers are out of stock, except for third-party re-sellers who are trying to make an extra profit. However, in my search for issue #6, I discovered I’d neglected to get issue #5 due to all the hubbub surrounding our big move. I managed to find what I guess is […]

Having reached issue #4, I guess I expected a little more from Rainbow Rowell’s She-Hulk. We have the narrative through line of Jonathan Hart and Jen Walters trying to figure out what brings him back, sure, but everything else has felt like fluff and filler thus far. Maybe I’m being too harsh, since I’m not used to following a comic issue by issue, instead tending to read them volume by volume, but I just keep waiting for something else to latch onto outside of that main […]

Can I start this review with a short review of the Marvel subscription service? It might save you money, but it’s kinda trash in every other respect. I thought subscribing mere days after the first issue of She-Hulk came out would net me that issue, but no. Then the second issue didn’t arrive until nearly a month after its release. And due to a variety of factors, from the website being antiquated with next to no information on when anything is going to be (or […]

She-Hulk is more “she” than “Hulk,” and I’m okay with that

Like with Runaways before it, I knew nothing of She-Hulk prior to Rainbow Rowell being brought on to write the character (and Tatiana Maslany, from Orphan Black, getting cast as the titular character in an upcoming Marvel movie). Okay, I guess that’s not 100% true; I knew She-Hulk was, well, a Hulk. That being said, I had no idea what that meant. Was she simply The Hulk, only female and, as a result, not as, well, hulking? If these first two issues are anything to […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.

Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
