About the Title-For those of you who have never read the early issues of She-Hulk,
shame on you (kidding). She-Hulk was a member of the Fantastic Four
back in the 80's, who was coming back from the Avengers, then went back to
the Avengers, and then got her own book in the 90's. It was like nothing
that had ever been done. She-Hulk continued her life, but understood that
she was a comic book character. Inbetween walking over panels and tearing
open the page and running to the next one, She-Hulk left her fans laughing
as she fought: Dr.Bong, Stilt Man, the Toad Men, and more. Imagine a gag
magazine in the marvel universe, then go weirder. Try to find the issues
from 1 to 10 and issue 50. The rest, while silly, usually aren't worth it.
If you want current funny, there's always Deathpool (I suggested a
X-Title, aughhhh)
Synopsis-Only John Byrne, or a talented Scott Lobell;
could combine the Guardians of the
Galaxy (a team from the 30th Century), Razorback (who has the mutant
ability to drive any vehicle and wears a giant boar head that can
shock whoever touches the mane), US1 ( akid who was driven off the
road by a mysterious trucker. The resulting accident left him near
death until a metal plate was put into his head and hhe could then pick up
radio waves. He got his own series out of it.), and Xemnu (Alien who posed as
children TV star in the early 60's) in one book and keep it tasteful.
She-Hulk teams up with Razorback to find out where the star of US1
had vanished to which tosses her into a battle with Xemnu, who has hypno
vision, super strength, yada,
yada.
Best Moments-When you can laugh at a cover, and keep laughing from
cover to cover, it tends to be a good sign. Although I did sort of hate
all the stars in the book, with the exception of the Guardian of the
Galaxy, I found myself laughing at them all the same. I'm not going to ruin it
for you. trust me though. You'll love it.
Weak Points-Except for Byrne leaving less than a year latter, I
loved the issue.
Over all rating-4 out of 4 flares. If only the rest of the
Marvel Universe could be this
good. |
