Some super-heroes never get the respect they truly deserve. I mean, honestly, what makes Spider-Man or Green Lantern any better than Speedball or Sleepwalker? Their powers aren't any more believable, and Spidey has had just as many bad stories as any other character. Spidey has even fought losers like Kangaroo and the Gibbon, yet he holds on to the respect of his fans while the Speedballs of the hero community are dismissed as unimportant. Some truly great characters have been unjustifiably ignored by fans, and it is time we put a stop to this cavalier treatment of those heroes who don't have the name recognition they deserve!
Start the movement today by heading straight to Four Color to buy She-Hulk #1! She-Hulk has been underappreciated for far too long. Maybe her origin as a girly Hulk spin-off wasn't one of comics most original moments, but look how far she has come since those early days! She's been in the Fantastic Four, she's been an Avenger, she's racked up almost one hundred issues in several series of her own, she's even saved the world on multiple occasions! What more does a lady need to do to prove herself?
Jennifer Walters (AKA She-Hulk) is no mere flavor of the month, eye candy heroine in a leotard. Sure, she's a gorgeous, green villain-smacking machine, but she's also got brains! Jen is a lawyer, and a darn good one. And Ms. Walters hasn't screwed her life up like some other super-hero lawyers, with a string of dead girlfriends and questionable legal ethics, that I COULD mention. On top of everything else, Shulkie has a great sense of humor. She can quip as fast as Spidey at his best, and look sexy doing it.
In case you missed it, Marvel published She-Hulk "Season One" last year. Written by Dan Slott (Marvel's go-to guy for stories that bring some much needed humor to the genre) with art by Juan Bobillo and Paul Pelletier, She-Hulk was a huge hit with critics and with any fans who actually read the book. Unfortunately, not enough people were reading these great stories, so the series was rested and relaunched (with the same creators) to hopefully attract more readers. The relaunch is upon us! Don't miss out this time!
She-Hulk has some of the most clever writing in comics today. The stories are witty, and include loads of subtle (and some not so subtle) references to the world of comics that will reward attentive fans. The very first issue has guest appearances by several New Avengers, and the Young Avengers, AND the Vision, AND Hawkeye (Not a hoax or an imaginary story!) She-Hulk WILL entertain you, so give Jen the respect she so richly deserves. Buy this book today, while it is Four Color Fantasies' guaranteed Book of the Week. If you miss out this time, all the cool kids will laugh at you.
