Dating a Hulk

One of the complaints I had about Mariko Tamaki's She Hulk series was that it was slow. I want to revisit it at some point next week, but my vague recollection is that while it was slow, the first arc was building towards something. Rowell's run is good, but also feels slow and I'm not entirely sure where it's going. As part of my planned re-read, I had a quick squint at Mariko Tamaki's Hulk #11, which is a quick little date night story.

I Am Not Starfire: Part One

"To be super clear, this is a version of Starfire, not in continuity Starfire. This is obviously a Starfire story, where we are creating a separate universe world where, for one thing, she has a daughter. Starfire is such a great character who is a literal beacon of light, so it was fun to think: What if she came home and she had this kid who was blasting punk music and was like, 'I don't want to talk to you?'" -- Mariko Tamaki

“When I started working in (mainstream) comics, I didn’t really see that as a place where I should be connecting with my personal experiences. I’ve described it more as, like, somebody gives you their Batman figurine, and they’re like, ‘You get to play with Batman today.’ That doesn’t mean they’re not personal, just not my personal. Any opportunity I got in those stories to connect to something that feels more subjective was a bonus. So it was really interesting to get a chance with this anthology and getting to do something for an explicitly Asian anthology, to work on an Asian character. Like Cass is not me, obviously, but it does feel…personal.” — Mariko Tamaki

It turns on Harvey Dent's role in her life.
The story opens years after that, in a Gotham bar where the Electrocutioner's being congratulated on his upcoming marriage by his colleagues.
She's behind the bar, working.
( The folks on the other side of the bar're carousing. )

It’s fun to write someone who’s coming from a bright and invincible place. I love a Gabby moment where she’s just so into who she is and what they’re doing. It’s nice to have someone who’s just a little giddy at how cool they are.

You know, I didn't see anyone cover it, but I might as well mention it briefly. What is up with Jennifer Walters these days?
