I was starting to catch up a little bit recently and then i got sick and I have fallen behind again.
Oh well, lets try again.
Last week I picked up and read Sensational She-Hulk #4. This most recent issue from Rainbow Rowell saw Jen dealing with the fallout from her recent Hulk battle. As media vilifies her and the public cower in fear of her, there's only one thing that help: a night out with Hellcat and Captain Marvel.
I thought this was another good issue which built nicely on the foundation that issue three laid in the sense of giving Jen's life new direction. I do find it weird that, after 15 issues of Rowell rebuilding Jen's life to something moderately happy, she would be so quick to devastate it once again. However, Rowell has shown that she can depict the Jade Giantess quite impressively and here, while she's down, there's little evidence to say she's out.
Ig Guara is new to the art duties on this book, but his/her style, while very different to Iban Coello's, feels very fitting for the emotional place the story currently finds itself. Guara's style has me thinking of Joe Madureira's work, although maybe something grittier instead. Kenneth Rocafort's work is more than likely a closer comparison (I'm thinking of his work on Action Comics just before the New 52), with the look being less dreamlike than Coello's, thus giving the vibe that She-Hulk has fallen and come back to Earth with a bump.
Sensational She-Hulk #4 feels, much like its predecessors, seemingly directionless at present. However, for me, this can't take away the earnest sweetness that the book seems to exude. The series continues to be an enjoyable read and would have no problem if She-Hulk maintained this trajectory for a good while to come.
(Although I truly look forward to its awesomeness once the greater narrative is revealed.)
