Jen and Jack have begun their first tentative steps towards an actual romantic relationship, after months of will-they-won’t-they teasing. Jen has her hands full in other ways, however with a confused Doombot that’s landed itself in hot water. There’s also the matter of the mysterious, super strong individual who recently attacked Jack – which Jen is keen to get to the bottom of.

Rainbow Rowell’s She-Hulk was, I believe, initially supposed to be as a five issue miniseries, but clearly it’s continued way past that point.

Which is great, especially as the deliberate pacing didn’t seem to be moving at a speed that’d satisfactorily wrap up the series by the end of the fifth issue.

With that breathing space afforded to the more leisurely paced story, it’s a much more satisfying affair as a result.

This issue’s opening scene is a wonderful thing, too; showcasing Rowell’s adept handling of two sweet characters who absolutely deserve both happiness and each other. It’s genuinely lovely, heartwarming stuff.

The Doombot subplot is great too; genuinely amusing and steeped in relatively recent Marvel continuity, yet remaining just as accessible as the rest of the series has been so far.
