Don't miss this comic: She-Hulk #17

One awesome, and often overlooked, book has been at the center of all Marvel's recent blockbuster events. This book had major connections to Civil War and is playing a big part in the lead-up to World War Hulk. This book has humor, action, romance, and makes better use of continuity than any other Marvel title. It also has a lead character with the best green gams in the super-hero business.

Of course, by now you realize that we're talking about She-Hulk. Written by rising Marvel star Dan Slott with art by Rick Burchett, She-Hulk is one the smartest and most fun comics on the stands. It should be right up there on the sales charts with New Avengers, 52, and X-Men. I'm not sure why it isn't up there, but if you are one of the people who has not tried She-Hulk, we really need to do something about that ASAP.

As a result of the recent Super-human Registration Act, lawyer Jennifer Walters has found herself pressed into service by S.H.I.E.L.D. Tony Stark and S.H.I.E.L.D. are less interested in Jen's legal abilities than in her smashing abilities as She-Hulk. Due to the machinations of the Illuminati, Jen's cousin Bruce (you know, you wouldn't like him when he's angry) was shot into space. Without the Hulk around to smash guys like the Abomination and Wendigo, S.H.I.E.L.D. needs help keeping them under control. Clay Quartermain makes Jen the muscle in his new Hulkbuster team. Joined by the magician Agent Crimson, and the super-sexy Life-Model Decoy Agent Cheesecake, Shulkie takes on all of the Hulk's old adversaries. Though things could turn ugly when She-Hulk figures out who is responsible for Bruce Banner going missing in the first place.

Trust me when I tell you that She-Hulk #17 is one great comic. If you haven't tried it, now is your chance. The folks at Four Color Fantasies are so sure you'll love this book that it's guaranteed all week long as FCF's Book of the Week. If you don't enjoy this comic, you can get your money back! And angels will cry, but don't let that sway you or anything.

P.S. Read She-Hulk. Have I mentioned it's awesome?
