In a very confusing story, She Hulk kind of beats a super space boxer man through her wits, but also by getting super strong, which she accomplishes by getting strong as Jennifer Walters, which I guess increases her strength exponentially when she's She Hulk.

Why hasn't anyone tried this before? They've always got Colossus lifting like a billion pounds on a specially designed overhead press thing. They could've spent a couple hundred bucks at Scheels, he could work out as a fleshy normal person, and it'd be so much easier.

Anyway, the story is funny because She Hulk sort of wins by using her brains, but also pummels the guy with her fists, and another character almost immediately points out that if she'd used her brains from the beginning, she (or anyone) could've easily beaten the boxer alien man. So there was really no need to get so super strong.

I've seen some people don't love the art style, everyone looks bloated, but I don't know, doesn't bother me. I think that's what super strong people look like. If you watch Arnold Classic or Oly lifting, you see bulky people, not shredded fitness models or Jim-Lee-lookin' dudes. I mean, like Jim Lee drew them. Jim Lee might be shredded like a ninja turtle villain. I don't know. The art style was fun for me. I've seen these characters drawn so many ways, and this one is above average in my opinion.

These are fun but I think I like Soule's run a bit better, if only because he was a lawyer and brought that perspective to his run. Slott's run, while it does focus on superheroics, doesn't have the same punch when it comes to the law. That said, this is still fun and unlike Soule's run, has consistent art.

Funny and smart. The over the top way that She Hulk is drawn can be a bit hard to take. But it is interesting to see bits of some of the Guardians of the Galaxy yet again - this time Drax and Gemora. This whole book holds together rather well with all its supporting characters and backstories. It definitely feels well placed in the Marvel Universe, taking advantage of the nooks and crannies.
