IH #106 has sold out and gone to a 2nd printing, I thought I read somewhere.

And yes, Shulkie took both Clay then Tony for a roll in the hay in subsequent issues of her own mag. Right after she hit on Logan. :rolleyes: Love how they turn her into a slut to show she's "different" from just Jen... shake

I picked up the two Hulk-related books. I liked 'em. I'm especially keen on seeing how former Champions Hercules and Angel are used. It's sort of inferred that one or both of them might not be there to help Amadeus Cho (cool character), She-Hulk and the soon-to-return Hulk.

I was surprised how quickly it looks like the stuck-as-Jen plot development will be resolved.

It's always good to see Doc Samson-- even under these storyline-induced madness conditions.

I thought Mr. Fantastic was through helping Tony? Guess I misunderstood recent issues of FANTASTIC FOUR.

I have a feeling Black Bolt's in for it. Between this and what's going on in SILENT WAR, coupled with rumblings about 'big' plans for the Inhumans, I'm beginning to be concerned for his continued survival.

I have to read the Herc/Angel appearance. Is that Incredible Hulk #106?

I agree She-Hulk's SHIELD team and Ms. Marvel's are similiar. Are all Avengers with a solo book getting a SHIELD team? Iron Man has one as well.

Can't wait to see how Shulkie gets Tony back. That was real low of him.

Another good issue in Slott's great run.

If I were Iron Man, I wouldn't take Jennifer's threat lightly.

This new Marvel U is no fun anymore, is it?

Although I still like the idea of a team for every state...

Oh well, I'm sure GREAT LAKES INITIATIVE will be a hoot.

Well I was ready to drop this title when Slott left. But it looks like Peter David is taking over. I may have to stick around.

Whoa. Definitely unexpected, but it has a kind of logic, given PAD's history with her cousin. Shulkie stays on my pull list.

Have they said for definite if Burchett is staying on as artist?

I really like PAD as the choice here. Sometimes his humor gets a bit boring...like X-Factor and Captain Marvel.

But if he writes it more dynamic (duh...it's She-Hulk) and writes it more like Hulk...it will rock.

Regardless I'm staying on.

Man this issue rocked! Slott pulle some old school Marvel stuff out of his here.

He basically tied up all his loose ends. And I do mean all. It took me a while to read. Which is a good thing. Nice Hawkeye stuff here as well.

I am going to miss Slott. I am excited about PAD though.

Yeah it was a good issue... I'm glad Slott got to tie up all the loose ends, but that final few panels shows that life is never entirely wrapped up in a pretty bow. I will miss Slott terribly here, but am looking forward to the era of PAD!

Slott's a genius. Using tourists from the Earth A dimension to explain away continuity errors? Sheer genius. lol

Am I the only one who finds the idea that Slott felt to explain away a mention that Monica's parents were dead by claiming it's an alternate whose parents were dead rather than... say... her parents, y'know, having died since we last saw them... inherently amusing?

Oh, and, how do Hulkling and Wiccan have counterparts on a basically-no-powers Earth?

Hulkling's a half-Kree, half-Skrull full-alien, whose conception was intimately (no pun intended) tied in with the Avengers and Kree/Skrull War.

Wiccan's the mystically-^&*$ed with child of Scarlet Witch and Vision (a pseudo-robot), concieved only through a whole coven's worth of magic.

Plus,
I'm sure someone could plot a graph on how decreasingly likely it is that someone will have been born if they were conceived since powered superheroes first openly emerged (during or slightly before WW2 since the few that were earlier, like Union Jack I, weren't powered to my recollection, although I'd be happy enough to be proven wrong) since one person marrying the "wrong" person has the domino effect, not only directly but in how other people are affected at the time... even before you consider aliens and magic,... (3D Man would be less problematic than almost anyone else you could name, actually, since, being born earlier, he'd be more likely to exist on both worlds since he was concieved pre-WW2).


My views are my own and do not reflect those of everyone else... and I wouldn't have it any other way.

It's Marvel science, 'Boot. This is the company that came up with radioactive spiderbite poweres, cosmic rays and super soldier serum. Why overthink it? Just sit back, suspend your disbelief and enjoy the ride.

The ride makes me want to vomit when it comes to Slott. PAD taking over might make this title actually, y'know, readable.

And, when you come up with a story just to nitpick away a four-year old issue of another book (which is, y'know, petty), suspension of disbelief goes out the window and into the river. It's not "genius", it's bad fanfic that an editor should never have let past the concept stage.

Heh. I think fans like Reboot may be the ones Slott's "Squirrel Girl defeated Thanos"-type stories are designed to irritate.

This was another excellent issue. Slott rawks!

Thanks to LAL for the quote in his sig. And how much nitpicking have YOU done over your years of posting, 'Boot? Pot, meet kettle. tease

And I love Thanos, but "Squirrel Girl defeated Thanos" made me giggle. So there. laugh

If I was writing comics, I wouldn't nitpick *in* them!

And Slott really seemed out to try and sabotage Annihilation for some reason... (seriously, read that Thanos thing between the Thanos series and Annihilation, combined with that She-Hulk arc that involved Moondragon when she was meant to be an earless captive, and went out its' way to undercut Thanos' death...

And I'm still trying to figure out how a Mary Sue is funny just because "it's meant to be funny". Squirrel Girl is a Mary Sue.

Well, Annihilation sucks because there's no Warlock. Duh. laugh

Seriously, I don't see how SG is a Mary Sue. Devin Greyson's Tarantula in NIGHTWING? You betcha. But I don't get any MS-vibe from Squirrel Girl. She's humorous for humor's sake. And don't worry about undercutting the death of the Big T, Marvel will do that themselves when they inevitably bring him back.

I still say they should kill off Lord Chaos and Master Order, and replace them with Warlock and Thanos if they're not going to do anything useful with them(W/T) as is.

Well, Peter David's first She-Hulk issue is out, and I thought it was...underwhelming. I expected more from one of my favorite writers.

<span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">The art is clean, yet the battle scenes between Jennifer, Absorbing Man, and Titania are confusing. Maybe a more leisurely re-reading will clear that up.</span></span>

But the thing about Peter David is...he often picks up speed as he goes on. I'm hoping that by the time this first arc is finished, the book will have improved thousandfold.

Definitely didn't hit the ground running like X-Factor, though.

I liked the fact that Titania- a name shared by the Queen of the Faeries (sometimes called the 'little people')-- is apparently stuck at the tiny height she was sentenced to along with a stay at Hank Pym's 'Big House'.

Jennifer's interesting new posture has me intrigued, as do her many faces on display here.

The bounty hunter business leaves me a bit cold. I liked her as a lawyer. But it could have possibilities.

I didn't expect this story to be only a two-parter.

I think PAD's phoning this one in, and I can't continue to support it. I'll stick to X-Factor and Fallen Angel, books that PAD's heart is clearly into.

Sorry, She-Hulk fans.

The only thing you should be sorryabout is missing Dan Slott's excellent run (if you in fact did). It was worlds better than the past 2 issues, although I enjoyed the Crusher Creel and Titania appearances.

Like Mystery Lad, I much prefer the lawyer thing over the bounty hunter thing. Still, I'm not going anywhere. I want to see about Jen's new Skrull gal-pal. Could be fun!

Um...it's difficult for me to say this to you because I see you're such a fan of Slott but...I skipped his run because I don't like his writing; his sense of humor doesn't click with my sense of humor and I don't see superheroes the same way he does.

No hard feelings, Lash.
