Dan Slott missing deadlines on She-Hulk

There is a problem in comics; no, I’m not talking about the rape/murder stuff, but rather the tardiness by writers. Writers tardy wha… back in the day this would have been an unacceptable sin. Now, I guess, it’s OK if a comic book writer misses his/her deadlines. Dan Koller notes on his column that it might be hollywood that is distracting some of our storyterllers. Apprently Dan Slott, She-Hulk’s writer, is one of the most guilty. As Koller notes:

editors publicly berate Slott for missing deadlines on She-Hulk

That sounds pretty bad consiedering he isn’t working on that many things… is he? Hey Dan lets not let She-Hulk slip too much, we want the comic to keep going don't we?

She-Hulk and Hulk to meet up

It was announced at the New York Comic Con that the Hulk will be coming back from outer space and He is gonna fight everybody in a boring new event/crossover titled World War Hulk… YAWN… See She-Hulk was drafted to fight her cousin’s villains (you knew She-Hulk was Hulk’s cousin right?) by SHIELD and of course when he gets back they’ll have to bust heads or something like that. Apparently issue 18 of She-Hulk ties directly into issue 106 of the Incredible Hulk. Here is a excerpt from story at comic book resources:

issues 106 and 107 deal with the repercussions of the Hulk’s return on his longtime ally Namor, and Bruce’s cousin Jen Walters, aka She-Hulk. In Slott’s run on “She-Hulk,” Jen Walters has become the “surrogate Hulk,” doing her best to deal with the Hulk’s rogue’s gallery of villains who have been running amok in Bruce’s absence. Slott urged readers to pick up “She-Hulk” 18, as her appearance in “Incredible Hulk” 106 picks up 10 seconds after the end of the former.

OK maybe I’ll pick up issue 106 of the Hulk just see my green goddess but I’m not gonna get sucked into yet another comic book event.

She-Hulk Vol. 4: Laws of Attraction

The 4th volume of the collected She-Hulk just came out a couple of weeks ago. It has many an emotional rollercoaster as Jen Walters and She-Hulk are pulled in two different directions. Plus, that crappy Civil War event invades She-Hulk’s storyline and Dan Slott seems to make something interesting out of yet another crossover comic book fiasco. Plus, those Greg Horn Man-Wolf covers are to die for.

From Marvel’s website:

She-Hulk’s firm is dealing with their first superhuman sexual assault case. Their client? Eros of Titan, the space-faring Avenger called Starfox! And when emotions get over-heated at the office, expect a love triangle or two to finally come to a head! What will this mean for Pug, She-Hulk and John Jameson? Who (or what) is Awesome Andy falling for?! And what will be the final fate of Starfox? Will he face ruin or redemption? One way or another, the case against the fallen Avenger ends on the moon of Titan! Plus: Civil War threatens the rights of every American super hero. So whose side will Marvel’s top superhuman lawyer fight for? And how can she possibly choose, when she feels one way as She-Hulk, and another as Jen Walters? Collecting SHE-HULK #6-13.

She-Hulk # 16

This is another great issue of She-Hulk written by Dan Slott and drawn by Rick Burchett. It seems Shulkie is doing quite well as a new draftee by SHIELD. This time they got her on a mission to subdue Wendigo in the wilds of Northern Canada. Wolverine makes a guest appearance so you know She-Hulk is on a roll. With Wolverine, Wendigo, and a female Hulk all in the same issue, it’s obvious this is a comedic version of a similar encounter way back in issues #180-181 of The Incredible Hulk. That was Wolverine's 1st appearance for all you non-fanboys. Except this time She-Hulk makes a pass at Logan rather than getting into a fight with him as the Hulk did. The Hulk = angry, while the She-Hulk = horny?

Here’s a quote from Marvel’s website:

PLANET WITOUT A HULK: Part 2 of 4
"When the Hulk's away... SHE-HULK SMASH!" It's more two-fisted action as SHE-HULK, AGENT OF S.H.I.E.L.D., faces off against
Hulk-rogues around the globe! And this time she's brought some company: the one and only WOLVERINE! That's right, true believers! It's Green Genes and the Ol'Canucklehead in a tag-team like no other! So get ready for a smashin', slashin' slugfest that'll leave you cryin' for your mama, cryin' for more, and cryin' WEN-DI-GO!!!

She-Hulk looks great in this issue; in fact she sports a black bikini despite the full body suit on the cover. She looks kinda like the She-Hulk from the 1996 cartoon series. She’s sensuous and an ass-kicker. I also enjoyed that fact that she’s barefoot as well. I haven’t seen her run around like that since her savage days.

This issue has other stuff too, such as concerns with SHIELD not consulting with the Canadian supers and also catching up with She-Hulk’s cohorts at the legal office. But the prime focus is right were it needs to be on the knock down drag out fight with Wendigo. We get to see a bunch of Shukie’s green blood, in quite a startling manner. The fastball special comes into it (for X-men fans in the know) and Wolverine turns Jenny down with one of the best lines in comics ever. She-Hulk #16 is well illustrated, set’s future plots in a non-distracting way, has a great superhero fight, and proves once again why She-Hulk is the best superhero ever. Oh and why Dan Slott rocks!

Dan Slott chimes in on She-Hulk movie

Dan Slott, the current writer on She-Hulk, gives his reaction to the Nicolas Cage rumors of a She-Hulk movie. Thanks to comic2film.

What now? I'll tell you what now. Soon as I heard the media buzz I called up my agent in L.A.! I said, "Michael, do whatever you can. Knock on every door. I gotta pitch a treatment for this!" Seriously, I've been working on this book since 2003! I've been living with this character and her world inside my head for four years. I SO know how you'd do this movie! And Eva Mendes? She'd make a great She-Hulk! I know this's all floating around in the rumor phase, but still... C'mon! That'd be so cool!

I still think this movie rumor is BS, but if it were going to happen I’d love for Dan to write it. Maybe it could have a guest appearance by Wolverine. He's already a movie star!
