Book: She-Hulk #7
Writer: Charles Soule
Artist: Javier Pulido
Colorist: Muntsa Vicente
Summary from Comixology: “Guest-starring Hank Pym! She-Hulk, Hellcat and Giant-Man team up to save one of Jen’s officemates, but what else does Hank Pym have at stake, and what isn’t he telling them?”
The Overview:
I have never really been a fan of anything Hulk related, and I’m not sure why. But, with Charles Soule on a book, I really couldn’t pass this up. I picked up the first 3 issues a couple of weeks ago. I couldn’t put them down and the next day I went out and got the next four books. I have been telling people this is a great book to jump on because when Hawkeye finishes in a couple months, this book will fill that void since it’s not exactly a superhero book, but rather a book about the life and times of Jennifer Walters AKA She-Hulk.
The Good:
This book was such a fun read. The majority of the book takes place in a backyard in Queens New York. We have Hank Pym, She-Hulk, Hellcat and Giant Man all working together in order to find a business partner of a scinetist named Rufus who is hiding in his backyard, not wanting to sell their shrink ray, Shrinko. It was really fun seeing these characters interact in the backyard of someones house. It doesn’t sound like it would be a great idea, but Soule really pulls this off. Javier Pulido’s art is really top notch in this book, and it fits the feel of the book perfectly. There are two great battle scenes between our heroes fighting ants/cats. Besides the action in the book, there was quite a bit of humor and a twist or two that you may not see coming.
The Bad:
There really wasn’t very much wrong with this book. It was a great read and an awesome jumping on point. The only thing that I was bummed about was that there wasn’t any scenes with Angie Huang and her pet monkey Hei Hei, that’s an adorable subplot that I look forward to learning more about. Besides that, I really don’t have any complaints with this book.
The Final Say:
If you are looking for a good superhero book that isn’t very superhero-y, then this is the perfect book for you. Charles Soule writes an amazing She-Hulk and his past experience as a lawyer makes him the perfect candidate for a lawyer comic book. Also, if you are a fan of Captain America, you are going to want to pick this book up and next months issue #8. The book is a powerful 4 out of 4. When you head to your favorite comic shop, or come visit Comic Collector Live, you really need to pick this book up and while you are at it, you should get 1-6 because you won’t regret it.
