Thing is, I can't really put my finger on the problem. If you've seen "frank Cho Illustrator", you know how much he's capable of as an artist. He does great action figures, and Shanna was great in that respect, but the story – what there was of it – really sucked; the other books – too static, just not interesting enough visually. Maybe the not-too-exciting coloring added to my bad feeloing about them. And I was thinking She-Hulk not so much because of the humor background, as the fact he draws amazingly gorgeous – and, when needed, buff – women.

Fair and simple enough–it sounds like you just don't like his own writing (Shanna) and his interpretation of Millar's scripts (Marvel Knights: Spider-Man).
I am a great fan of Cho's. I liked Shanna the She-Devil for what it was (an excuse to draw his obviously beloved dinos and jungle babe)–I wasn't expecting Shakespeare (or insert a more appropriate comic book writer's name of your choice), so I wasn't disappointed in any way. I also liked those MK: Spider-Man issues (and only bought them because Cho drew them).

Do you think you would like Cho's interpretation of a Dan Slott She-Hulk script better because he'd presumably draw a buff(er) woman than appeared in any of his Mark Millar-written work?

I can't really say what it is I disliked about Cho's work on these books, though you do narrow it down pretty good. When I think about it some more, too much of Slott's She-hulk is static, relying on dialog, and that would not play to Cho's strengths. He has much more of a feel for action – which brings me back to Shanna. Like I said, I didn't like the "story", and I had a problem with the art – but I did like the b&w portions that went around at the time, and I loved the b&w Cavewoman stories I saw… Not to mention all of that b&w illustration stuff – Princess of Mars, Tarzan etc. Maybe it's just a question of waiting for the right colorist, or maybe he should stick to black and white… Just a thought.
Anyway, I feel that if God hadn't wished us to talk thru our asses and make not-fully-thought-thru, snide remarks about people ten times more talented than ourselves, he wouldn't have given us internet forums – so there! 👿
