Comic Report: She-Hulk: Superhuman Law


This volume starts off slow, with Shulkie being whisked away to be an intergalatic judge.

A couple of problems with this -- first off, her "sidekick" is still tedious and annoying. Couldn't they have left her on Earth? And while the covers are great, the interior art by Juan Bobillo still leaves a lot to be desired. She-Shrek in a short purple toga?? I could have gone a long time without seeing that.

And I understand She-Hulk is developing more power and has to learn to deal with it, but the dumpy track-suit "inhibitor" costume is one more in a long line of horrible fashion choices. Jen is friends with Janet Van Dyne -- can't Wasp give her a makeover?

Thankfully, the book gets a new interior artist (Paul Pelletier) with Issue 9, and picks up steam with a case where Hercules is sued for damages by a supervillain, and a major scenery-smashing throwdown with classic villainess Titania. Good idea to add backstory into this arc -- I've read Secret War, but its always nice to get a refresher course.
