Though much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are,
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
--Lord Alfred Tennyson--

My big article on Mariko Tamaki's Hulk & She-Hulk runs, discussing the good, bad, and its creation.
My second big article on She-Hulk, discussing Jason Aaron's focus on her in Avengers #20.
Haha no problem! I just love using Twitter and follow Marvel peep, so if I get the chance to hound them about anything She-Hulk related, then I jump at the chance!
And yeah, hopefully at the very least Aaron will develop Jen a little more over his Avengers run. Almost anything will be better then have a permanent 'dumb Hulk' version of She-Hulk.
Oh, and a cool little thing. Marvel announced on Twitter that they are bringing back there 'TL;DR' cartoon for ten episodes, and it looks like one of them will be about She-Hulk!
Agreed. Heck, even her 'Savage' form was more unique then her current form. By the way, I think it will be cool if you do a follow up to your article, perhaps after we see what Aaron has planed for Jen. Your last one was very insightful!

Thank you for the kind words. It was a lot of fun writing that I do hope to write something insightful or doing another dive into a short series. The problem lies in the fact its hard to figure out what series I would want to do that with, because She-Hulk is really the only character I have a passion for or care a lot about. I've considered dives into Bunn's run on Fearless Defenders, the recent America series, or even Bendis' Iron Man run when it focused solely on Tony Stark, but I'm not sure.
I'll definitely revisit and do a follow up on the state of Jennifer Walters after the year has ended, giving Aaron enough time to show what he has to offer. If he tries to make Jen more tied to the cosmic, I'm going definitely have something to say about that. When all else fails in the Marvel Universe, shoot the character the f**k into space or make them more space-ish. In the past five years, how often have we went the space route with characters?

Ryan Ottley has a normal size She-Hulk in his Amazing Spidey art but from the rest of the art he just drew everyone to his preference.
Well I wasn't a fan of Aaron's Marvel work before and now it seems that I'm avoiding the title for the near future. This is so a miswork and a final mess up from Bendis, who I have always suspect that has a dislike to She-Hulk and her character given how much he has done to her in the past.
Its even worse then savage she-hulk. You turn her into a generic hulk with boobs. That is what this she-hulk become. Character deserves so much better. This is not what fans want. It was obvious be how quickly sales died on Mariko's series that it wasn't. You can't make up taking the personality and character from her just by giving her new powers.

Squirrel Girl called up Jen in this weeks Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, And yes, she's green.
Nice! Those shorts are great.
I don't think it was Bendis disliking She-Hulk as much as his philosophy for writing characters, to break them down show there more vulnerable, human side to build them back up doesn't mesh well for every character at every time.
She's also in complete control. I guess this takes place after her recent solo but before whatever happened to make her as she is in Avengers. I hope we see more of Courtney Alaska in the future. She and Janice Lincoln make great foils for Jen's lawyer side.
Read Avengers #5, spoilers:end of spoilers
enjoying the story and giant-sized Avengers is pretty awesome (Jen is literally living up to alias as the Jade Giantess). Art was great there is definitely a thing going between She-Hulk and Thor. Not loving the dialogue (again hopefully it is due to the Celestials other appearances see her more normal self) from Jen but at least she reconicises that She-Hulk and Jennifer are the same person and not Hulk hate puny Jennifer. Going to be interesting to see where this leaves Jen powers after this arc is over.

So how do you think She-Hulk is going to do in the final battle against the Dark Celestials? I think it's going to be between her and Ghost Rider that deal the finishing blows.
