This week She-Hulk dominates my comic book stack, starting with Avenging Spider-Man #7. This is your basic Spidey-Team-up comic, so I don't pick it up every month, just on the issues that grab my interest. I was excited about this issue for two reasons: One: Art by Stuart Immonen. As I've said previously, hes a great illustrator- one of my favorites. And Two: Spidey teams up with She-hulk, and I kinda have a crush on her (along with Power Girl and Super Girl- don't tell my wife, she wouldn't understand) In fact, how cool would it be if they had She Hulk in the next Avengers movie as a full CGI character, like a green, slightly more clothed version of Dr Manhattan Anyway, this comic starts out on the right note: See above pic of Shulkie and Spidey wresting a giant sewer-fish. Thats dope. Thats pretty much the high point though. The rest of the story involves an army of cats, She-Hulk growing a tail, Spider-Man wearing a cow head, and a giant Egyptian Cat Goddess. Seriously. Now I expect some goofy fun with this situation, but it was less fun than I was hoping and a lot more goofy. I still give it 7 points for the art and for She Hulk !!!!!!!
X-Men Legacy #266: The cover had She Hulk, Rogue, and some strangling and hair pulling going on. Its an Avenger vs X-Men story. Rogue does her best to keep neutral on the AvX war when a couple of avengers (including She Hulk) show up to basically loiter on the school grounds waiting for Hope to show up. Their presence is provoking the students who, like Cyclops, seem to have fantasies of persecution. Sure enough, things get out of hand and Rogue starts boxing She hulk, until another avenger shows up unexpectedly right at the end. I give this comic: 7 points too !!!!!!!
Wolverine and the X-men #10: This happens before X--men Legacy 266. Cyclops and Emma Frost show up at Wolverine's school. They discuss their differences, and resolve absolutely nothing. In the end, two members of the shool join up with Cyclops, and an alien anti-Phoenix task force show up, and the side story about Angel going bonkers becomes more interesting. This is my favorite X-book right now. Also, 7 points!!!!!!!
Invincible #91: Seriously, why does the black Invincible have to have cheating-on-his-girlfriend issues? Seems a little stereotypey to me. Last time I'll gripe about that. The Dinosaurus/Viltrumite story continues, and there is a surprise ending. You know with Invincible, that usually means blood and guts. 6 exclamation points!!!!!!
The Walking Dead #97: Rick and his Posse have their first run-in with Negan's people. Can't wait to see him lay down the law on that big meanie. 7 points !!!!!!!
The Ultimates #10: The shocking ending from last issue actually happened. This is the aftermath. Things actually get worse. For the love of God, it is time for Reed and his Children of Tomorrow to get their butts handed to them by Nick Fury. Still hasn't happened yet. 6 points!!!!!!
New Avengers 26: Unexpectedly cool. I wasn't too excited to see a flashback story about Iron Fist. Turns out its kinda cool. Back in the days of Leonardo Da Vinci, there was a female Iron First who hosted the Phoenix force, thus tying into the present day AvX story. I like the idea of DaVinci participating in Marvel Universe history. 8 exclamation points!!!!!!
