Setting aside the flimsy premise, Tamaki’s story is utter gahbage. And guess what happened during the NEXT goddamn tiresome event, Secret Empire? Yup, Bruce Banner came back from the dead (although I think he’s gone back to being “dead” again - for now)! Fuuuuuck you, Marvel, you buncha assclowns! And, Jen, you’ve been a superhero how long? Come on girl, you know “dead” is shorthand for “napping until they’re needed for the next useless relaunch/reboot/whatever”. Maybe completely new readers to superhero comics don’t know this - and Tamaki might’ve brought over some of her indie audience with her to this title so this could conceivably be a few peoples’ first ever superhero comic - but I’ve been reading superhero comics for years so I didn’t buy into the grief angle at all. Superhero deaths are an absolute joke - they don’t stay dead. Deconstructed follows Jen as she deals with her grief, gets back to lawyering and helps out a new client whose landlord is trying to evict them.įirst off, basing a series concept around an event is a terrible idea. Jen Walters/She-Hulk was put into a coma by Thanos in the Civil War II lead-in, waking up to discover that her cousin, Bruce Banner/The Incredible Hulk, was shot in the head and killed by Hawkeye.
I’m pretty much completely turned around on that idea now, especially as indie comics creator Mariko Tamaki has written such a fucking awful She-Hulk here! Years ago I used to think indie comics creators would write better superhero comics if given the chance.
