Wow. What can I say other than this was pretty savage?
As Marvel delays some of its phase 4 titles, I decided to look into the origin of one of its upcoming series. The savage, sensational, fantastic, a lot of other titles... She-Hulk!
Now, this is a Superhero origin story. So like the rest of the genre, it's filled with tragedy, but lighthearted tragedy. You know the type that you can overcome with years of therapy. Which she'll probably never get.
I do love the kind of image they were trying to bring with The Savage She-Hulk title. This is still a hulk-like creature, just a different breed. Instead, we have a smart, and levelheaded hulk. It just so happens that this hulk is female and the title "Jade Amazoness" definitely does her justice.
You have to give credit to David Anthony Frank, his writing along with Mike Vosburg's art are why the She-hulk has the "legs" needed to stand on her own. Don't need her cousin around to be taken seriously.
I really enjoyed this masterwork and am looking forward to finishing The Savage She-Hulk run in this next installment. This is the start of a long project as I try to read every essential She-Hulk title before the buzzer hits zero on that She-Hulk series.
