Thanks for the link. I respect the Two-In-One love - the Cosmic Cube/Project Pegasus arcs wrecked me back when I was a wee little thing.

If you haven't read She-Hulk yet, issues #5 and #8 (of the previous series) are online for free IN THEIR ENTIRETY, no downloading required!

#8 is on the list at: http://www.marvel.com/dotcomics/index.htm

Just read number five, and it's great! Brimming with ideas.

And he got the "good" artist back for the new series, so I am currently picking it up! I read the first two trades in their entirety more than once, so I figured it was worth actually spending money on. It's nice to have a continuity laden superhero comic out there that doesn't suck!

― Chris F. (servoret), Wednesday, 26 October 2005 23:38 (twenty years ago)

And (SPOILER) Pug really isn't the smartest man in the world. But I love him.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 27 October 2005 00:37 (twenty years ago)

Slott's She-Hulk is awesome, like the 5th season of Angel with, you know, She-Hulk.

― adam (adam), Thursday, 27 October 2005 01:31 (twenty years ago)

If you like She-Hulk, you'll love Spider-Man/Human Torch: I'm With Stupid, which is available in a cutesy-wootsy digest-sized trade!
I think that's what I'll send my sister for her b'day. She liked She-Hulk. And it's probably cheap.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Thursday, 27 October 2005 13:38 (twenty years ago)

Probably $7 US, which is, what, $3 CA?

― David R. (popshots75`), Thursday, 27 October 2005 13:47 (twenty years ago)

I think you got that reversed, Dave!

― Leeeeeeeeee (Leee), Thursday, 27 October 2005 19:45 (twenty years ago)

I thought he was trying to be funny.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Thursday, 27 October 2005 19:53 (twenty years ago)

I thought I was trying to be funny.

― Leeeeeeeeee (Leee), Thursday, 27 October 2005 20:00 (twenty years ago)

The first issue was very fun, and I like the interior artist, but I swear to God, I'm *this* close to tearing the cover off and throwing it away. Are they actively trying to turn away the people who would most enjoy this series with the Greg Horn covers?

― Matthew C Perpetua (inca), Thursday, 27 October 2005 20:02 (twenty years ago)

They're actually trying to get desperate, lonely fanboys to buy it, what with their Vivid Girl as She-Hulk motif thing going on.

Same thing happened with the EMMA FROST book, which was all Maxim-y covers and completely unrelated styles on the insides.

But then maybe the same thing happens with ALL of his covers.

― Matt Maxwell (Matt M.), Thursday, 27 October 2005 20:12 (twenty years ago)

That's the one thing that's irking me about the revival - what, was Mike Mayhew's Shulkie so unseemly? Are there actually going to be fanboys that pick this book up simply because Greg Horn spooged on the cover? I mean, if this gets the book the sales to stick around, then I can live with it (and I'm sure Slott & Bobillo & co. can as well), but, man.

― David R. (popshots75`), Thursday, 27 October 2005 20:17 (twenty years ago)

If Liefeld does covers for The Thing, I'm cracking skulls.

― David R. (popshots75`), Thursday, 27 October 2005 20:17 (twenty years ago)

Wait, I wasn't trying to be funny.

― Leeeeeeeeee (Leee), Friday, 28 October 2005 22:56 (twenty years ago)

four months pass...

spiderman/human torch is the treatiest treat i've treated myself to in a long time. what a great comic! plus ty templeton!!

i think slott is a really good writer, not just a funny one. he really knows what goes into a good story and he has a real intuitive grasp of storytelling mechanics... it provides a really good frame for the funny stuff.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 24 March 2006 17:15 (nineteen years ago)

I'll trade you 1 Spidey/Torch for 2 Alias?

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Friday, 24 March 2006 17:26 (nineteen years ago)

only if you throw in a powers

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 24 March 2006 17:32 (nineteen years ago)

I'm just glad you finally found something GOOD (I bought Spidey/Torchy in FLOPPY FORMAT and LOVED it). It's like when a friend has dated nothing but awful, abusive people for a long time, and they finally meet the beau/belle that deserves them.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Friday, 24 March 2006 17:34 (nineteen years ago)

awww

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 24 March 2006 17:42 (nineteen years ago)

i guess i am a little... fickle!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 24 March 2006 17:43 (nineteen years ago)

You're fickle? Search: my "I HEART GEOFF JOHNS" posts of 2004.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Friday, 24 March 2006 17:45 (nineteen years ago)

Being a comic fan means never having to say, "God, I can't believe I ever liked that shit."

― David R. (popshots75`), Friday, 24 March 2006 17:57 (nineteen years ago)

Anyway, WTF is GJ doing on a SLOTT thread? Now cut that out!

― David R. (popshots75`), Friday, 24 March 2006 18:00 (nineteen years ago)

And it's all about tolerance levels, too, innnit? Like, in 2004, I hadn't really been reading comics for 12/13 years, so, like just whatever felt good. Wasn't too discriminating.

xpost - sorry

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Friday, 24 March 2006 18:01 (nineteen years ago)

Back on topic: It's a testament to SLOTT that even though I kinda HATED the art on the new She-Hulk, I still kinda loved the issue. And WTF, is Starfox related to Timber Wolf of the Legion? Or were they both designed by Dave Cockrum?

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Friday, 24 March 2006 18:02 (nineteen years ago)

ty templeton should do all his art!

oh, and the good she-hulk guy. the OG dude--bobillo?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 24 March 2006 18:09 (nineteen years ago)

Bobillo. Tho Paul Smith will be sweeeeeeet.

― David R. (popshots75`), Friday, 24 March 2006 18:16 (nineteen years ago)

who is Paul Smith?

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Friday, 24 March 2006 18:17 (nineteen years ago)

http://lambiek.net/artists/s/smith_paul.htm

okay, looks GOOD

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Friday, 24 March 2006 18:32 (nineteen years ago)

just from the few things I've seen seems to be sort of a softer Giffen/Mignola sorta lines and shadows whizbang style that I like a lot.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Friday, 24 March 2006 18:33 (nineteen years ago)

Honestly, Leave It To Chance is a fun read!

― David R. (popshots75`), Friday, 24 March 2006 18:36 (nineteen years ago)

I once met Dan Slott, and told him that I was really enjoying Spider-Man/Human Torch. He told me that he was trying to convince Marvel to let him do a Captain America/Nick Fury mini-series in the same vein.

COME ON, MARVEL!

― The Yellow Kid, Friday, 24 March 2006 19:33 (nineteen years ago)

oh shit yeah!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 24 March 2006 19:38 (nineteen years ago)

OH HEEEEEEEEEEEEEELL YEAH

― David R. (popshots75`), Friday, 24 March 2006 19:58 (nineteen years ago)

Eh, not so interested.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Friday, 24 March 2006 20:00 (nineteen years ago)

JUST KIDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDING!

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Friday, 24 March 2006 20:00 (nineteen years ago)

SAVE THE THING!

― David R. (popshots75`), Sunday, 26 March 2006 23:46 (nineteen years ago)

In fairness, starting with a three(!) part story that goes nowhere and does nothing is probably not the best way to draw in the readers. #4 was good though, more like that please.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Monday, 27 March 2006 08:24 (nineteen years ago)

I can't imagine that prize going to anyone other than ILC, we've been big repping Dan Slott harder and louder (though to a smaller audience) than anyone. I think we've even probably got the highest saturation of Slott-lovers than any other message board. SO FUCK YOU SLOTT, IF YOU DON'T GIVE US YOUR TOYS.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Monday, 27 March 2006 13:46 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, I was psyched for this series but dropped it after the third issue. Three issues of Arcade? Seriously?

― The Yellow Kid, Monday, 27 March 2006 19:27 (nineteen years ago)

I lasted one issue. Sorry Dan.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Monday, 27 March 2006 19:27 (nineteen years ago)

omg LAMERZ

― David R. (popshots75`), Monday, 27 March 2006 20:28 (nineteen years ago)

FINE YOU WIN
I WILL NOW GO OUT AND BUY ALL THINGS

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Thursday, 30 March 2006 17:43 (nineteen years ago)

Plz to note (according to Jaundiced Joey Q) that Andrea DiVito is off The Thing w/ the latest issue (to go draw Giffen-abetted space boggins), & shall be replaced by Kieron Dwyer.

― David R. (popshots75`), Sunday, 2 April 2006 12:56 (nineteen years ago)

interviewing

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Monday, 3 April 2006 13:29 (nineteen years ago)

two months pass...

OK, well, I just finished the first She-Hulk trade, and it was so good. Smart and fun. It's been so long since I read an actual superhero comic that was both (or even either) of those things.

― James Morrison (JRSM), Wednesday, 14 June 2006 05:38 (nineteen years ago)

yeah its ok. weirdly enough it took me a long time to read. just about to start trade 2 courtesy kit b. i did kinda laugh at the "you need airbags in this bed" (her tits, in repose, larger then her head ) joke. if it was a joke.

― molly (bulbs), Wednesday, 14 June 2006 05:56 (nineteen years ago)

eleven months pass...

UPDATE:

According to That News Site, Slott is:

- leaving She-Hulk in 3 months (w/ Ty Templeton co-writing his last 3 issues)
- co-writing a GLX / Deadpool Fun Spectacular w/ Fabian Nicienza (sp)
- starting a fantastically super AMAZING I HOPE new project ASAP

I have to say I'm not feeling the Slott Machine so much of late - possibly due to his involvement with / subsumption by Civil War nonsense.

I miss Juan Bobillo. & s1ocki. & Awesome Andy.

― David R., Friday, 25 May 2007 15:14 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah, the fact that apparently I have to care about what's happening in Hulk has taken some of the shine off She-Hulk for me.

― Andrew Farrell, Friday, 25 May 2007 22:58 (eighteen years ago)

I gotta say, that little column in the latest She-Hulk trade about why she's pro-registration (and why she was anti mutant registration act) makes a pretty convincing case! Plus all the hijinks involved in actually translating that action to day-to-day superhero activity were hilarious. So A++ for Slott being able to make something fun and interesting out of such a tired concept (nb no I haven't read any other Civil War stuff, I'm a TPBer.)

― Daniel_Rf, Saturday, 26 May 2007 02:18 (eighteen years ago)

She-Hulk is being she-bunked by x-over madness, though, um, WWHulk might be AWESOME. Especially if--SPOILERALERT--Hulk becomes the new Captain America as rumoured in the latest Warlock Mag.

― Dr. Superman, Saturday, 26 May 2007 06:43 (eighteen years ago)

has anyone read the avengers series he's writing? i looked at it at the shop the other day. i ultimately decided against it, because of she-hulk's diminishing returns. i find his run on The Thing to be my favorite. and she-hulk's first trade (but patchy thereafter.)

― ian, Sunday, 27 May 2007 04:33 (eighteen years ago)

I find it (Slott's Avengers) not bad, but bear in mind that
1) I barely read any Marvel besides She-Hulk and X-Factor, so have little knowledge of the established characters, and whether or not their normally this dickish
2) I know next to nothing about the whole Civil War bollocks
3) if I never read another issue, it wouldn't cause me that much sadness, really

― James Morrison, Sunday, 27 May 2007 05:12 (eighteen years ago)

Fuck! "they're" normally this dickish!

― James Morrison, Monday, 28 May 2007 01:35 (eighteen years ago)

I've read the She Hulk TPBs, and I agree with ian - the first one's great. The second & third are patchy and the fourth is downright bad for much of the time.

― treefell, Monday, 28 May 2007 15:27 (eighteen years ago)

four years pass...

"Anti-Venom"? The ghost of Jean DeWolff? Dammit Slott, I used to think you were great!
