Jennifer Learns The Truth!

She-Hulk#18 was another great issue by Dan Slott and Rick Burchett. I can't believe how much Slott packs into one issue, but this issue had Shulkie learning what's happened to her cousin, the new Hulkbusters taking on the Leader, She-Hulk vs Iron man and a major change for Jennifer. She still gets the last word though and it looks as if Stark has lost yet another hero from his side.

Rating 8.5/10


Whilst not quite on the same level of greatness that She-Hulk sits on, FF# 546 was still a very good issue. The Black Panther goes up against the Surfer again after popping back to Earth to collect his tools for The Galactus Contingency Plan. Nice!

Ben and Johnny keep the humour mixed into what is a very action packed issue and everything gets resolved quite neatly. McDuffie even manages a few pages for a sub-plot with Reed and Sue and Paul Pelletier continues to grow into the title.

This title is also the current winner when it comes to weird titles. This issue was entitled "Aw, that's just crude' and doesn't really fit the story at all. It's just a line of dialogue. Ho hum.

Rating 7.5/10




Amazing Spider-man #540 by Straczynski and Garney was a well paced issue and if you put aside the fact that we've all been here before (Aunt May about to die - Pete mad as anything and threatening to kill those responsible but never following through with the threat) it's a good issue.

I like Ron Garney's artwork without being knocked-out by it but the cover to this issue stinks (I don't know if it's by Garney or not).

The issue ends with Pete threatening to kill the Kingpin - will he be true to his word? I seriously doubt it - just as I doubt that Aunt May will finally snuff it.

Rating 7/10
