This one felt a little Gilmore Girls-ish to me. We get Patsy Walker coming over to Jen’s place for a little girl talk after some drama with Jack of Hearts. Gilmore Girls-ish isn’t bad, by the way. It simply is what it is.

Incidentally, it’s taken me many  issues, but I’m gradually starting to care about Jack of Hearts. Slowly but surely…

These Jen Bartel covers seem to get more and more gorgeous as the months go by. I’m loving them.

These Jen Bartel covers are consistently awesome. I always look forward to seeing them.

In this issue She-Hulk fights a short lady with an oversized head who’s dressed a little bit like Cable for some reason. Is she supposed to look like Cable? Probably not. But her look reminds me of Cable.

Those of us who aren’t too into fourth-wall breaking won’t be a fan of this issue, as Jen literally tears apart the page she’s on and talks to her author. I was actually surprised Rainbow Rowell didn’t talk back to her in some way.

This issue sees Jen represent a supervillain’s cyborg doppleganger who’s being tried for the crimes of the genuine article. Now that‘s the kind of lawyer work I want to see her doing!

Things get a little sexy in the early portion of this issue. I know it’s nothing new to see She-Hulk portrayed in a sexy light. But as a newer She-Hulk reader, it feels a little weird to me. After all, you rarely if ever see her male counterpart used that way, do you?

Astonishing Art: She-Hulk and Daredevil by Mike Hartigan

How sad is it that I haven’t even seen Daredevil’s appearance on She-Hulk, and yet I’m pretty much fully aware of all the “controversy” said appearance generated among some fans. Oye…

On paper it works though, doesn’t it? They’re both lawyers. They’re both superheroes. They have a lot in common! What’s the big deal?

Here’s Mike Hartigan making Jennifer Walters and Matt Murdock look like a power couple in his own fun, animated way.

Early in this issue, someone asks the question, “Who cares about Jack of Hearts?” Unfortunately, I’m finding the answer is, “Not me.”

The issue isn’t without intrigue, though. As we can see from Nightcrawler being on the cover, Jen is about to take a step into the world of the X-Men. That could be fun.

Maresca also draws a hell of a She-Hulk. So at least Jen looks good through all of this.

We spent most of this issue expositing with Jack of Hearts, a former Avenger and friend of Jennifer Walters who’s suddenly arrived at her new apartment. Not necessarily the way I would have gone about this second issue. But it seems like he’s integral to the story we’re telling here, so I get it.

Maybe it’s because I’m not a regular She-Hulk reader, but I’m more amused by her trying to do mundane, everyday stuff. Taking the subway, navigating through city traffic, getting to the office, etc. We only get that in the last fourth of this issue.

I’ve never read She-Hulk regularly. But I’m a Rainbow Rowell fan. So I might be sticking around for this one.

The series starts off with a brawl between She-Hulk and Titania that has a nice, almost mundane flavored comedic twist to it. It nicely set what will presumably be the tone for the series.

I got a little lost during the last two pages. But generally this was pretty easy to follow. Rowell writes Jennifer Walters very well as a down on her luck underdog, and Antonio’s art is a lot of fun. Here’s hoping the fun continues!
