kfan's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH

 Marvel app stopped working on my iPad. 

This is a slow burn of a book.

There’s not much She-Hulk action here, which is actually okay, as this story is about Jen Walters’ PTSD, apparently after fighting Thanos and going into a coma. I didn’t read those, but they’re not important. Bruce Banner is dead here, so I’m not sure how this tracks with [b:Immortal Hulk|39818775|Immortal Hulk, Volume 1 Or is he Both?|Al Ewing|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1542102855l/39818775._SY75_.jpg|61577413]. I’m guessing it happens right before he comes back. Hard to say.

I think the writing is quite good here, but it’s a bit decompressed. That’s a nitpick, but I would’ve liked it better in 3 issues rather than 6. The art by Nico Leon is really good, too, with easy to follow storytelling that has evocative moments to break it up here and there.

3.5 stars | (read as single issues) I've never been a fan of the Hulk, but I'm glad I tried this because Jen Walters is amazing! A+ on the artwork!
dark emotional reflective tense fast-paced

I definitely felt at a disadvantage with this one from not being entirely plugged into the Marvel Universe. But I like She-Hulk so, so much as a character.

I bought this on a whim because I wanted to try out She-Hulk in this post Civil War II world and I liked the art a lot. I was totally blown away. It's beautifully written and the story is heartbreaking and captivating. I devoured this collection, and I am desperate for more.

Definitely one of my favorite comics ever (as of right now).

What a great take! Very human at its core but then, surprisingly, horrific in many ways. Fun stuff!
