Panelology is a weekly podcast about comics. We talk about current books, what we're looking forward to, and how to get into reading comics in the first place.

She-Hulk: Superhuman Law (Marvel Comics, 2004; #7-12)

Jennifer Walters is the law.

  • It’s true! She becomes a space judge in this arc.
  • As part of her judicial duties, she makes sick gains and develops the most glistening fish-lifters.
  • She might actually be too strong now, so she gets some help from Reed Richards and Doc Samson.
  • Come for the Jade Giantess, stay Slott's delightful meta-commentary on comics fandom!
  • Bobillo, Pelletier, Sosa, Magyar, and Kemp’s art looks great and fits the comedic tone Slott’s script sets.

This She-Hulk run is a blast.  It’s funny and character-driven, and it looks great.  The only hiccups I had in this arc were an issue dedicated to Titania’s backstory that felt like a bit of an interruption and a couple of references to Avengers Disassembled without any context.  But those were both minor issues and shouldn’t stop anyone who’s interested from checking this book out.
