I'm not sure about Slott… I think he improved her standing but then there was a lot of stuff Search For She-Hulk, Civil War, World War Hulk that has helped her character… and the man admitted that he wanted it to be a zany, quirky cult hit and I think that many were unhappy with that… I certainly felt that at times, Slott was trying to force humour or wackiness in where it felt wrong to do so.

I suppose we'll just have to wait and see where we're going with PAD… I had mixed feelings about Slott's run but I think he probably increased She-Hulk's fanbase. I also think he got screwed over on the artist front… the two main artists were both horrible… and while I'm aware Bobillo had his fans, his work looked amateurish to me and didn't exactly do She-Hulk justice… unless you want to see her as a big piece of jello.

Anyway, looking forward to the change.

All true, but at the end of the day, at least Juan Bobillo wasn't Rick Burchett.

Give PAD a great artist, please!!!

From what I've seen of Burchett's work, I actually like him better than Bobillo.

I don't know… both of them are pretty dire, I see better work on dA on a daily basis… mostly because those artists know how to not make a woman look like she's made of jello or has a head like a shoebox or possibly be a man. Things that were the "forte" of these two no-talents.

I feel like I've fallen into a debate on which movie was better: Van Helsing or the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen…

I just haven't read anything by Peter David recently aside from his Dark Tower scripting and I hope he hasn't lost it like Walter Simonson, Howard Chaykin, or Frank Miller. I just want She-Hulk to be good.

Although who knows? Maybe with Peter David they'll finally give Shulkie a good artist.

An apt metaphor, Titaneer. I'd agree there was truly little merit to either of them… but then I think I was labouring the point that they are, in fact, both bad in different ways.

Anyway, while I've not read any PAD stuff… the generally positive response as well as what's he's said about the direction he wants to take it makes me feel pretty positive.

He seems keen to move away from the law firm, away from the wackiness and toward something that's still got some laughs but is more ass kicking… which I suppose much of the recent She-Hulk has aspired to be… but the art was a real let down and She-Hulk beating Abomination with a cheap shot was weak too. If PAD is going to make her Marvel's Wonder Woman, let's hope he puts her back to 100 and lets her kick ass without cheap shots.

I couldn't have put it better myself, Prophet Tenebrae.  😀
