Dan Slott's She Hulk

I couldn't wait any longer and had to read the final three issues of Dan Slott's great run on She-Hulk. I wasn't disappointed. Each issue was packed with witty dialogue, in-jokes for old-time Marvel fans like myself, mad concepts, tight continuity and just plain fun. I will really miss these each month.

In issue #19 Jen's arch rival at his law firm, Mallory Brook, defends the Leader reasoning that the Gamma radiation he's been exposed to has affected his mind and he shouldn't be accountable for his actions. She uses She-Hulk as an example saying that Jen acts in a totally different way when she's in Shulkie mode than when she's not. Sound logical to me.

In issue #20 the plot that the head of the law firm has been replaced by a robot, Artie Zix, is resolved. Not quite as much fun as the previous issue but I did like the way lots of dangling plot threads were sown-up over the course of the 22 pages. Neat and Tidy.

The big climax occurs in issue # 21, where not only does Jen get her powers back but all Marvel's continuity and characterisation errors are explained in one swoop. Very clever, but if tried in any other comic this would have been a disaster. Here I liked it.

I particularly loved the reference to some a the old FF issues from way back (118,160-163) and the way it was used as part of the overall solution. That was one of the first FF stories that I read so it was nice to see it used again.

Overall, excellent comics. Rating 9/10 but 10/10 for the whole run.

If only all comics could be that good.
