So What's She-Hulk Up to? (Mighty Thor #700)

[informationgeek]

Oh hey, Jennifer Walters popped up again in Mighty Thor... and like everything else recently, was treated like crap.





Oh shut up Jane.

(This is the second time a writer this year has dissed on Jen's She-Hulk title. The other was Brian Michael Bendis, who got her into this crappy situation in the first place).









Not how she was written at all in her book in the slightest bit and she doesn't go off for no reason. Plus, she has more intelligence when she does go off than here. Also, she's not a damn Bruce Banner Hulk stereotype!

Uuuuuuuuuggggggggghhhhhhh. In just one comic, I now never want to see Jason Aaron try to write Jen again.

Uggh, this is just painful and I'm saying that as someone who actually likes the whole Grey She-Hulk angle.

Who needs internal logic when aping past Hulk vs. Thor fights, I guess?

Man, when was the last time they threw down, anyways?

World War Hulk

[lordultimus]

No, Thor was absent during World War Hulk, we had a Sentry vs Hulk fight instead.

[joetuss]

Right, i meant to say Fear Itself.

[reveen]

Well then. This one is going in the Book of Grudges.

Some of this art is atrocious. I don't know whom to blame here in regards to how Jen is written. Is Aaron not talking to...whomever is writing She-Hulk these days? Are the editors not talking?

[malitia]

The art I can explain. There were several artists on this book and they switched when the character focus changed (so upper scans: Jane's artist; lower ones: Throg's) which was almost every 2 pages. This idea might looked good on paper, but in practice was mostly just annoying.

[shadur]

About the only good part of this is Jane never ceasing her attempts to get through to Jen by talking.

[oracne]

URGH.

Aaron's basically writing stereotypes while trying to play it as "reinterpretation of stereotypes". He fails. It's painful.
This issue changed my attitude towards Aaron from "meh" to "go f*ck yourself", really.

I'd like them to try Marta Acosta again. She's my favorite She-Hulk writer even if it was a proper novel and not a comic.

"and like everything else recently, was treated like crap."

Jen from Spider-Gwen's universe/Earth-65 seemed like her old self at least. Besides being a pro wrestler anyway.

But yeah, this isn't how Jen is in the Hulk book at all. If she was, she wouldn't still be working as a lawyer, she'd be on the run like Banner usually is.

The art in these panels is pretty though.
