She-Hulk returns to Earth from her hot date with The Scoundrel to dismantle the bomb he planted in Manhattan and help the rest of the superheroes fight off the alien invasion. Jack returns at the last minute to save the day and kiss the girl.

An enjoyable issue. Good as the ending to this story arc but frustrating as the ending of the series. Who was the alien who hired The Scoundrel to bomb Manhattan? Why? Can Jack ever come back permanently? Will he and Jen make it work? The series show more “rebrands” and continues under a new name, but knowing now that it’s only 10 issues long I don’t have high hopes.

For the series overall I enjoyed the art and the vibes were fun but the plot was just so slow compared to something like The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl which has way more going on per issue. show less

After discovering that Jack can’t hurt Jen if he’s already full of radiation, their relationship is back on. She introduces Jack to her secret superhero/villain fight club. Regular Hulk (He-Hulk?) shows up. In a side-story, She-Hulk teaches an intern how to be a superhero.

Why is this a new series? An editor’s note says “we loved what the previous volume was doing and we wanted to get it into more people’s hands”. What does that even mean? The previous series was only 15 issues, show more that’s hardly inaccessible. I suspect the real answer is somewhere between “we would have to pay more to continue the previous series than to start a new one” and “we had to start a new series in order to add He-Hulk”, both of which are annoying.

This is a perfectly fine issue, in which nothing really happens. I’m happy for Jen and Jack but I would love for them to address the fact that Jen was on a date with another man when aliens tried to blow up Manhattan! It’s not a new series in any way. The additional story was a fun little treat. Andres Genolet’s art is perfect but it was nice to see someone else’s take. show less

Jen gets all her feelings out at the fight club she and Titania started. Jack makes her dinner, though he can’t taste it anymore and the two of them can’t touch. Jen gets hired by the Fantastic Four to guard a secret lab, and an incredibly handsome burglar shows up.

A good balance of fun with Jen’s friends, angst with Jack, and actual plot.

Jen runs into the mysterious handsome thief on the street, but the only information she can get out of him is his name - The Scoundrel / Nicolas. At work, she calls Mallory out on the hypocrisy of initially refusing superpowered clients and then taking on too many. At home, Jack has dropped out of college and is spending his time sucking up radiation from Bikini Atoll. They’re flirting, but still strained.

Not a whole lot happened but it still feels pretty balanced. I’ve never heard of show more The Scoundrel before, and I’m purposely not looking him up. Excited to see what happens next. show less
