Sorry about the thread necromancy, but I did originally make this thread, so I figure it's okay.

I just got the second She-Hulk TPB in the mail and blew through it in one sitting. I really liked it, especially when Paul Pelletier took over as the artist for 2/3 of the trade paperback; She-Hulk looked pretty pumped up, and Titania wasn't bad either.

I'm looking to order the other 2 TPBs, but I'm annoyed that the total on Amazon comes to $24.83, a measly 17 cents away from letting me get free shipping for the pair. Sad

I agree totally, Alex. Making her pro-registration was totally out of character.

I think that was about the only thing that made sense. That is, being a lawful person, she (and Slott) atleast tried to make the registration not look like abunch of stormtroopers forcing their view on a populace that probably wouldn't mind it... if they were'nt busy practicing their goosestepping. Shulkie's probably the only person who managed to keep her character through the ordeal.

She Hulk's approach: If you register, and you will get real training to become a better hero, and with all of us together, we can be a real force for good!

IronMan and near everybody else's approach: Register or I'll throw your ass into the can.

Yeah I agree. I think that registration could have been handle a lot easier than it was in the marvel universe. It could have been "Wah HOO I get government funding , which means a good paycheck and awesome benefits. as apposed to OMFG how am I going to pay my bills and put food on the table while I run around in tights and save the world."

But nooooooooooooooo it was join us in our super human SS or go to jail. The way it was presented was all wrong.

I understand that marvel wanted there to be conflict and it could have been very cool but the ending sucked hard core. I was such an anti climactic ending for a rather dramatic storyline. It also put a little bit of a strain an one of my friend ships. I am friends with the only guy in the continant that I live on that wanted to debate and say that Iron man was right in his oppressive actions. I can understand mandatory schooling but forcing people to join a US sectioned hit squad just because the have the ability to is not what America is about.

There's my thoughts.

I think the majority opinion is that Tony Stark must die or at least have a ton of sense knocked into him. He's really lost sight of what it means to be a hero.

That being said, I think they got Shulkie right so far in WWH. She shouts out "No!" when the missiles are streaking towards her cousin. That's a pretty far cry from Mark "I've got me hand up Shulkie's arse so she can say whatever I want her to" Millar. I'm looking forward to seeing how Greg Pak writes her for the rest of the series.

Yes, have him trade places in death with Capt America in order to bring him back so Steve can save the day at the end of WWH.  I can wait a few years until they bring back Iron Boots - I did for Thor . . .  Wink

Regarding the idea that Marvel would even consider killing Tony Stark at this juncture, I have four words: Iron Man movie 2008

Here's what I'm wondering:

Marvel, as I'm sure some of us have noticed, has a tendency to change the comics to reflect the movies — mainly the X-Men's costumes (that didn't last long, thankfully) and Spidey's organic webshooters. So, how are they going to de-dickify Tony by the time the Iron Man movie comes out? I'm certain it wouldn't be a sales boost to have moviegoers pick up a comic with Iron Man in it and say, "Hey, this guy's the biggest douchebag on the planet! I ain't readin' about him!"
