Dnf at issue 3? I think? So between the last issue of the previous collected edition and the start of this one, Jen has just randomly thrown away her legal career and is a bounty hunter??? Why is this even a part of the same series?
Also I really wanted to see tony stark get taken to court for what he did to Jen in the last volume, but it doesn't seem like that's gonna happen here.

So many things happened between volume 5 and 6 that it almost feels like this is a reboot or something, especially with the new writer/artist team. She-Hulk got disbarred!? And now she's a bounty hunter working for a new organisation? And she has a skrull buddy!? And she lives in a trailer in a trailer park??
I must've missed some event comic or something.

A little bit incoherent, a little bit silly. I haven't yet read the last few She-Hulk issues, the library doesn't have them. So I don't really know how Jennifer got herself into her current predicament. But the writing is really good as are the side-characters, heck even the random characters. The space aliens actually kind of fit into the rest of the Marvel continuity but without being irritating. Even Creel and his girlfriend added to the story. And they did a travelogue without it feeling like a travelogue. And the art was good. More books like this. Sure it looks like a bubble-gum issue, but underneath the surface it is actually pretty interesting.

An entertaining Shulkie comic that would be a bit forgettable if not for that cover...seriously, click on it and look. That is She-Hulk ripping the pages to stop someone groping her (giant, straining) boobs. Is it supposed to be empowering - addressing the way woman are drawn in comics? Or is it so gross that it passes through misogyny and arrives at utterly bizarre? Actually yeah, I think it's that last one.

Another great volume! This one has some especially excellent cover art specially “The Whole Hero Thing Conclusion” (#26) and “Friends in Need” (#27). A nice change of pace from the previous issues since She Hulk is no longer a lawyer or a ‘hero’ instead, she is trying to make a living and mind her own business. Of course being She Hulk means that your ‘business’ always ends up being heroic in nature.
You can tell that this was not written by the wonderfully witty Dan Slott. As a result the story and characterization is different but not better or worse, just different. She Hulk and the story are a bit darker but there is still funny bits!
At the end there is an extra little meta-treat that is nothing but fun!

I remember Peter David's Star Trek books fondly for their loose good humor, but then, I read them in high school. Thinking back, they had more than a bit of fic-proper about them. (For instance, I think there was a book called Q-in-Law where, at one point, Lwaxana is beating up Q, and Troi asks Worf, "What should we do?" and he responds "Sell tickets." Funny! But all the way at the silly, dressing-up-like-Robin-Hood end of TNG, and maybe even a little past it.)
The quips are funny, and the meta-bit tagged onto the first episode is on point. Still, I prefer Jennifer Walters, Badass Lawyer to whatever road-movie scenario is playing out here. Sure, new writers, new arcs, in medias res, but it just doesn't work for me. And I'm gathering that in superhero comics, that's the only standard that matters at all. There's a lot to like about She-Hulk/Walters, and I hope there's more of her to come down the road. (Ideally? MCU Netflix series. The character's perfect for the procedural form. She's a trial lawyer!)
