I picked it up mostly out of curiosity. From the description, it sounded like it would be fun. It was a fun read. She-Hulk is a bit too rambunctious for the Avengers; a party girl who is often impulsive. Her normal persona, Jen Walters, is a brilliant shy lawyer. Then she gets hired by a prominent law firm to practice superhuman law as Jen Walters. Overall, the volume combines some action, with some legal drama, and a good amount of humor. This volume collects six issues. The one with Spiderman suing J. Jonah Jameson was my favorite story, but the others were good as well. I will definitely read the next one. "She-Hulk: Single Green Female" is issue 21 (volume 35) in Marvel's Ultimate Graphic Novel Collection and relates the adventures of She-Hulk from the first six issues of her 2004 (May - December 2004) series. The book is by writer Dan Slott and artists Juan Bobillo and Paul Pelletier and the story opens with Jennifer Walters (She-Hulk) living at the Avengers mansion. Unfortunately her party lifestyle ends up with the Avengers asking her to leave. At the same time, however, Jennifer is offered a job at the legal firm of Goodman, Lieber, Kurtzberg and Holliway (one of the many in-jokes in the book) whose speciality is super-human representation. Jennifer quickly finds herself embroiled in a series of odd cases, including a ghost who wants to give evidence at his own murder trial, a superhero that wishes to sue for defamation and a super villain prison breakout. She-Hulk is one of these slightly corny characters that I never really had the inclination to read. Originally created by Stan Lee and John Buscema simply to register the character as a defensive mechanism to ensure that Marvel retained the rights in the eventuality of the then popular Hulk TV series introducing a female Hulk character. She-Hulk had two less than successful series' of her own and drifted in-and-out of various teams and made the occasional appearance in other more successful books before Dan Slott took over in 2004 and took the character in a new direction. His take on She-Hulk is funny, touching, human and very, very funny. The comedy, although satirical towards the Marvel Universe, is done with a light touch that acknowledges the ludicrousness of super people and their lives, but is done with reverence to the characters and comic books in general. This is a difficult trick to pull off, but Slott manages it brilliantly in a set of wonderful, high quality character driven stories. Slott's approach is helped immensely by the beautiful, clean line artwork from both Juan Bobillo and Pail Pelletier. Their artwork is full beautifully rendered with nice compositions and busy, but not overcrowded, panels that are full of subtle wee jokes in the background. Both artists also have a marvellous facility in regard to capturing moods and expressions – a skill that is essential for this kind of story-driven book. The book itself is a sturdy, full colour, perfect bound hardback. The extras in the volume are, however, a bit meagre in comparison to some of the other books in the series, comprised of a simple piece on Dan Slott and an artist’s gallery. The excellent covers from the monthly She-Hulk series by Adi Granov are also reproduced. All in all this is an excellent book with first class storylines and superior artwork. I enjoyed this so much that I'll probably go and try to pick up back issues for the rest of the 2004 She-Hulk series. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Single Green Female, outgoing, intelligent, great sense of humor. Enjoys clubbing, dishing with gal-pals and saving the universe. Ready to put old issues behind and make a fresh start. Contact Jen W. at Avengers Mansion. That's right...everyone's favorite Jade Giantess, She-Hulk, has returned for tons of fun, both on and off the field of battle!. No library descriptions found. |
