…and the Lady Liberators arc look pretty neat!
Hopefully they’ll make a Lady Liberators book though. BTW #38 (final issue) will make it 135 issues of She-Hulk and 50 issues since Slott started her series some years ago.
Well, they had to get rid of something for fine upcoming series like…
uhh…
Agents of Atlas?
That a shame, I haven’t been following PAD’s run like I did Slott’s but it seemed to be a quality book.
But Skaar should be canceled by now right? Because if She-Hulk gets the axe before that crap, I will be mighty pissed. Huh, it is still there.
[What the] Fuck is wrong with Marvel?
Fixed.
This is kinda unexpected… Oh well atleast she’ll be a regular in Hulk especially with the lady liberators and all.
Haven’t gotten around to checking PAD’s run but I enjoyed the few issues I’ve read under Slott. Never did understand what Slott had against Shulkie sleeping with Juggernaut (yeah it came from a not so great writer Chuck Austen but c’mon, he’s still the JUGGERNAUT BITCH!) but it was pretty funny how he dealt with it. 
The book really dropped off after Slott, and I don’t think the direction PAD took it was really the right move. Though you can’t really blame him for trying.
The initial appeal of the book was all about the inherent insanity of the Marvel universe as seen through the perspective of a legal firm, and the whole point of the book was to poke fun at how ridiculous superheroes were by putting them in absurd legal situations, like with Top 10 but with characters people actually liked or had heard about before.
In no other book would you be able to pull off a bit like Spider-Man suing The Bugle for libel, and that was the appeal of the book - you could put all these crazy characters from all over the Marvel universe into whatever ridiculous situations you wanted.
It wasn’t even really about the She-Hulk at all, and it could perhaps have been any other character, but her character facilitated the plots so well, and there’s already such an oddball association with the title from the earlier PAD runs that it worked really well.
But unfortunately once they got away from the idea that the book was about the Marvel universe in its entirety and got all caught up with the title character (such a crazy idea, I know!) it lost its charm, and the book just got plan boring afterwards. I personally stopped picking it up a couple issues into PAD’s new run…just nothing unique about the book anymore.
A shame though, it’s still better than most of the stuff that’s out right now.
They’re reprinting Hulk/Wolverine because Lenil is now starting on issue 3 and 4. (He said as much on his deviant art blog)
It’s always odd to see which titles they axe and don’t.
Why is Black Panther getting a revamp and not the axe vs She Hulk.
Aw, c’mon, dude - you can’t compare She-Hulk and Top 10 in the same breath, at least not without making it sound like She-Hulk under Slott was lackluster (which it wasn’t). She-Hulk, especially the first year and early parts of the relaunch, was one of Marvel’s best books, and I agree with your reasoning. But Top 10 is one of the greatest comics of the entire damn decade. What’s next? Would you compare Dan Slott to Alan Moore? Welcome to the Black Parade to OK Computer? The Umbrella Academy to THE LEGENDARY ORIGIN?
Bub, you gotta set some standards here.
I’ll compare anything to anything I damn well please, you can’t tell me how to live my life! If I want to call a J Scott Campbell book “the Michael Jordan of comics” just because a lot of characters like to stick out their tongues, then I will goddamn do it!
Trivia fun: The initial draft of that post (yes, I write drafts…) cited She-Hulk as “like a shittier, homeless man’s Top 10” but I didn’t want to seem overly malicious to the book, as it was one of of my top five favourite monthlies when it was good.
Instead I inadvertently insulted Top 10 instead.
MAN, GET OFF MY BACK
It is better to be overly malicious to an innocent comic than it is to disgrace Top 10.
So tell me, bub, how many drafts did it take for you to come up with the word “facilitated” in your original post? Anyone ever tell you that you write mighty impressive English for a Canadian? I will now get up from my chair and offer a one-man standing ovation to the Canadian education system.
Oh, I also heard somewhere that She-Hulk is becoming a main character in Avengers: The Initiative post-Secret Invasion. Reuniting her with Slott is better, no?
Thats because Skaar is actually a pretty good read.
Ultimate Xmen and Ult. FF getting canceled too…I heard.
I, for one, thank you for your services.
But Slott is obviously stepping away from Avengers: Initiative. Slott has stated before that he can do 2-3 monthly book at best. That was part of the reason he left She-Hulk, so that he can jump on Amazing Spider-man. And truthfully, it seems he has just providing plots for Christos Gage to write on the book since issue 8 or 9, so Gage maybe is going to take over at this point.
Which isn’t bad for Initiative, right now it is obviously the best Avengers book of the three Marvel is producing outside of the Marvel Adventures line.
fixed and as stated by wellman gage will be writing the book from now on.
Are you implying that Agents of Atlas is shit?
Because it definitely isn’t shit.
I agree 100% here, I don’t say this often but Top 10 was one of those comics that changed my perspective about comics. After that I started searching for more different and odd takes on comic, why I’m such a fan of the Jack Knight Starman comics, Astro City (Read it people!), Preacher, Walking Dead, and the like.
Plus super powered Mice and Cats going at it, as obvious Marvel and DC parodies, is the best fucking thing I’ve seen in comics ever. I laughed so hard about that. BEHOLD, Galactipuss!
