Summary:
Jennifer is admittedly very good at what she does – be it working as a lawyer, acting as an Avenger, you name it. Unfortunately, she’s never really felt like she has perfected that balance.
It’s also been a long time since she looked for something, or rather, someone, more permanent when it comes to her love life. So it’s safe to say that things are changing, but is She-Hulk ready to accept those changes?
Review:
I’m not going to lie; I’ve been curious to see how far the whole Jen and Jack arc would go. Naturally, I dove into my copy of She-Hulk Vol. 5. I just had to find out! This is She-Hulk, after all.
The only downside to this volume is I’m pretty sure this marks the end of yet another She-Hulk series. Or at least Rainbow Rowell’s run of She-Hulk. I wouldn’t have minded more, but I do have to admit that this was a fitting ending.
She-Hulk Vol. 5 dives all in on the “will they/won’t they” trope, all while throwing a few curveballs at us readers. It was emotional at times, tense at others, and hilarious in other moments. In other words, it’s a solid She-Hulk tale.
I love that some of Jack’s backstory came into play in this volume. A lot was getting left out, but now that feels more full circle. It helps to settle any debate about what could happen with this couple.
As always, I loved the artwork! She-Hulk Vol. 5 has some of the best colors and designs; overall, there’s a lot of energy. The fights are epic, the expressions never hold back, and it’s a lot of fun to read. I hope the artists had as much fun making it.
