It looks like we’ve got a love triangle coming our way in She-Hulk. I ain’t mad at it. At least Rainbow Rowell got me to care about Jack of Hearts, one of the guys, before it started…

Patsy Walker, a.k.a. Hellcat, is indeed in this issue as the cover suggests. But the cover also kind of suggests it’s a team-up, which it isn’t. On the plus side, this is another positively gorgeous Jen Bartel covert.

What is it about She-Hulk in high-top shoes? It just works. As does yet another stellar cover by Jen Bartel.

Joe Quinones does a guest-spot in this issue. His work is always great to see, and he’s perfectly suited for a story about She-Hulk hosting a book club with various Marvel heroines. And of course, said story is written by Rainbow Rowell, a prose book author in her own right.

There’s a big moment in this issue where Lando makes out with another one of the characters for no apparent reason. In a vacuum, it makes sense for Lando, but it’s not motivated very well as far as the other character is concerned. It actually makes her look…well…I’ll just say it: Slutty.

Luke makes a comment in this issue about how he doesn’t need a lightsaber to be a Jedi. Well damn, I wish he’d felt that way when this series began. Then we wouldn’t have the stupid gold one.

How long can a human being survive in the vacuum of space without protection, i.e. a space suit? Lando has to do it for a few seconds in this issue. There was also a great issue of Darth Vader a few years back where Doctor Aphra had to do the same. But how long could one really last in space?

LiveScience.com says about two minutes. That seems about right. Either way, it obviously creates a hell of a lot of tension and urgency.

This issue sees Luke Skywalker travel to Coruscant, the epicenter of the Galactic Empire. You’d think that’d be a pretty big, dramatic deal, right? But Luke makes pretty quick work of his mission, and gets right back to the Rebel Fleet. I get that he’s, y’know…Luke Skywalker. But that’s still pretty anticlimactic.

I’m hoping this isn’t the last we see of this family of Imperial double-agents. I was slow to get into their story, but they grew on me.

E.M. Gist keeps knocking it out of the park. He captures Luke’s likeness damn near perfectly.

Another gorgeous cover by E.M. Gist. He’s definitely a keeper.

These last two issues have been largely about a couple of spies within the Empire, and their attempts to flee and get their children to safety. I like that. Sometimes I think this series, or perhaps another series altogether, should be about “smaller” stories and characters in the Star Wars universe that aren’t bound to Luke, Leia, etc. The galaxy is a big place, after all. There’s lots to explore…

I love this cover. It’s got a great old fashioned movie poster feel to it, and the background is a delightfully simple blue and white. I even like Luke’s leather jacket, which has a vague Indiana Jones feel to it.

The interior art is a little bit more simple too, compared with issues past.. It’s something of a pleasant change, actually. Star Wars artists tend to go into such rich detail, which is great. But this more animated style is welcome too.

All these issues in, and I still don’t like the gold lightsaber…
