I sometimes think I could measure my comics reading career in cancelled She-Hulk books. Sigh...
May 18, 2018
She-Hulk: Jen Walters Must Die, the third volume of Mariko Tamaki’s She-Hulk run, represents the end of her contribution to the series. This one features a challenge by The Leader--the most interesting and memorably drawn and colored character in this volume—who creates a way to fight Jen Walters by creating a Jen doppleganger to destroy “herself” with. Some of the dialogue is entertaining, as you expect with Tamaki, but the real impact of this arc is on Jen Walters facing her fears and her PTSD, her trauma and loss of Bruce. I liked the first volume a bit better, but this volume was close.

The series gets canceled and this volume sort of halfheartedly wraps things up in time to go out with a whimper. First Jen is kidnapped by a super fan under the control of the Leader. Then she spends a single issue in therapy under the influence of an unnamed drug and hypnosis so the trauma storyline can be abruptly resolved and the status quo restored. And the last issue? She goes to high school prom.
An underwhelming ending to a series that was only starting to realize its potential. So sad.

A solid ending. Nothing ever lived up to the first volume, which was a great stance on PDST and how it effects everyone. Having a monster, a real monster inside of you, and dealing with almost dying prior was great. The next to volumes have ideas, but not fully there in execution. Some fun moments of Jennifer trying to be herself again, and a satisfying turn of events at the end, but the whole evil master mind behind it all didn't work for me.
Overall, solid but not great.

Wherein the series is canceled and limps halfheartedly to the finish. Marvel clearly gave up on the book by this point. They gave the issues to someone better off suited drawing independent comics than the big 2 in Jahnoy Lindsay. The art is just as flat and uninspired as the writing.

I seem to be one of the few people fascinated with superhero stories where the action part is secondary. This may tie into my perfering realism to fantasy, but who knows. This story arch by Mariko Tamaki was a very interesting one. Comic-book Superheroes with PTSD is not a new thing, but it was very interesting watching it through the view of Jen Walters whose non-superhero life is a late 30-ish(?) attorney in Manhattan. This volume is the resolution to this story and the climax is not She-Hulk beating the bad guy, but Jennifer finally going to therapy. I was not a Jen Walters/She-Hulk-fan before, but these three volumes did inspire me to read John Byrne's work on the character. I am half-way through volume 2 as of writing this and it is amazing. It makes the fourth wall deconstructing of Deadpool look amateurish.

This wasn't as great as the other two volumes, in my opinion. The plot didn't really interest me at all. I didn't quite get the way Grey Hulk was dealt with. While I enjoyed Jen's mental interactions with people from her past, nothing here really intrigued me. There wasn't a lot of interactions with the relationships I appreciated from this run (Patsy and Brian (I think? the assistant). Oddly enough, she ends up in kind of the same place she always ends up at the end of a run: moving to another office?
Anyway, once again, Marvel made another universe wide change to their formatting and I'm bummed to see this is the end of Tamaki's run. I really enjoyed having a more internal, introspective book instead of another book where Hulk just smashes things. Once again, it is hella refreshing to have a woman writing for a female character. Some men write women well (Brian K. Vaughn for example), but a lot can hurt the character as much as they help (Slott's end of Jen's previous run).
So, I congratulate Tamaki on working on X 23 but I am sad to see this run come to an end.

One thing I hadn’t really noticed until reading this collection is how much of a normal friend, and a level-headed person, Hellcat is. She’s supportive, she generally has fun around Jen, she’s non-judgemental when Jen’s navigating her emotional blocks, and she rocks a yellow spandex suit.
Not sure what the point of the (The) Leader encounter was - it was over about as soon as it started. When a big arch-villain shows up like this, and is dispatched in one issue or so, it feels like they weren’t there to provide a threat, but instead to act as a macguffin - a plot device to move some other idea forward.
Let’s examine: Jen’s dealing with grief, she spent the first book wallowing in anger, the second book learning to help others. This book she’s helping another victim of the Hulking phenomenon not get screwed up (but doesn’t stick around on-camera to help with the aftermath) - and its at the hand of an arch-villain who goes down more easily than you’d think a super-genius would, given his opponent is just a dumb strength monster. So why was he there?
Best I can figure, The Leader was there to push Jen to try her last resort. I don’t follow the logic, but next thing we know, Jen’s doing trauma therapy with Stalker Flo, and then she’s ready to go green and protect kids whose powers can be super-destructive. I’m puzzled but at least satisfied that Jen got there the only way that works: through the pain, not around it.
Aside: what’s the deal with Jen joining law firms and then bailing when they predictably get skittish at the destructive nature of her/her clients? Is this an indictment of Jen’s naïveté, or of the usual corporate lack of spine? I support her going out on her own, but I’m confused why she keeps going back for another try.

Why is this ending?! This was so good!
July 21, 2018
Maybe it's because I'm not really versed in the whole Hulk back story, but I feel like there have been diminishing returns with this She-Hulk series. I just wasn't very invested in this volume, and some of it felt a little goofy to me. Apparently this is the last volume of the series, which is a shame because there aren't many comics with female superheroes and female writers, but I confess that even if this hadn't been the final volume I might have considered calling it quits.

This was okay but could have been a whole lot better. I had the feeling that they knew they were cancelled halfway through so they kind of phoned it in long enough to fill up the book collection. A couple of nice scenes with Patsy, a nice message about PTSD and another about a high school girl struggling for acceptance, but a kind of lackluster face-off of grey and green and Jen. The art wasn't terrible, but whenever Leader (the bad guy) showed up I kept thinking they'd accidently run some old pictures of Sinestro from Green Lantern. And Hawkeye's dog was hanging out with the counselor for some reason. It was an okay read, but Jen deserved better.
September 1, 2020
Tamaki's work, so good in the first volume, continues to be entirely mediocre in the follow-ups. Once more, we get nothing about the trauma that made V1 so interesting, instead there's just a fairly dull Misery rip-off starring the She-Hulk, the Leader, and some gal. Then there's an issue of psychiatry that magically hits the reset button on this volume, and an entirely forgettable finale set at a prom.
The question isn't "How did this series go wrong?" but instead, "How was the first volume so right?" because everything else reads like it was written by a different author.

With everything happening in the world, I want to hand this to every teen and say, you got this. We need you in this fight.

I loved the Patsy content here and the burgercakes, and I'm glad to see Jen making progress with her PTSD! The main plot was a little bit whatever to me, but that's fine.

Voy a comprimir los tres volúmenes que conforman esta historia de Hulka escrita por Mariko Tamaki en esta reseña. En general la nota estaría entre el 3'5 y el 4 ⭐
No me escondo y admito que no soy, para nada, fan de Marvel, pero en esta historia he encontrado una parte más seria a lo que nos tienen acostumbrados con sus adaptaciones (no me gustan los chistes en mitad de las peleas, lo siento). A grandes rasgos, la historia narra la transición de Jennifer Walters durante un proceso de duelo (y/o también un síndrome de estrés postraumático) tras haber estado en coma por una pelea contra Thanos y la muerte de su primo Bruce. En cada tomo se ha encontrado con una faceta distinta que se puede dar en un proceso así, y a la vez con villanos que la hacían enfrentarse a dicho sentimiento. Solo en el tercero ha habido un trozo que no me ha terminado de convencer porque no lo han hilado muy bien con el resto de los tomos, pero por lo demás lo he disfrutado y me alegra haber conocido un poco más de este personaje.
Cosas no dramáticas que le han sumado puntos: feminismo sin estar metido con calzador, humor justo y necesario que resultaba natural en la escena, la amistad de Jennifer con Gata Infernal, las acotaciones (que eran los pensamientos de Jennifer) rompiendo de vez en cuando la cuarta pared.

As I just mentioned in my previous reviews for this series (which I've been reading relatively quickly and all within a few days), Jen Walters has dropped the "She-" from her Hulk persona in the wake of Bruce Banner's death, and has been attending peer counseling support groups for the PTSD she's been suffering.
The second half of this third volume was pretty great and helped redeem some of the less interesting parts that led up to it, but it's still not going to be a comic I'll be recommending to people.

While not as strong as the first volume in this arc, it was a good one. It was good to see Jen tackle her ptsd and it was a nice reminder that therapy is good. ;) The art worked for me a lot better in this volume. this book wrapped up Jen's issues really well, and the issue at the end was super lovely. Seeing Hellcat and She-Hulk chaperone a teen prom was adorable. ♥

September 26, 2020I'd never have expected Misery to work as the template for a She-Hulk story, but turns out it does, though the old villain feels a little like he was wedged in to justify the Legacy branding. A therapy issue follows, which can't help feeling a little slight now compared to Immortal Hulk, before the run wraps up with an issue about how the children are our future and the world is slowly, unevenly getting better. It's very sweet, and reading it now feels much like being an Anglo-Saxon contemplating Roman ruins and struggling to believe humans could ever accomplish such things.

i don't know if i loved the way grey hulk was resolved - if all jen needed was to talk to bruce, well, she does that in her head all the time, why was this time different?
still - the art's excellent (hoo those watercolor segments), the writing is otherwise solid, and i love this portrayal of a healing jen walters. i am heartbroken that this series is over, but look forward to the next one!

Like the rest of this She Hulk run, this had a lot of ups and downs. There was a lot of stuff to like in this run about Jen dealing with her trauma. But it never felt like the story across these three volumes was tonally consistent. Did it was to dive into PTSD? Or did it want to be more light and fun? The veering between tones made the whole run a little hard to hook into. I enjoyed Tamaki’s Supergirl: Being Super but this She Hulk run was a bit more hit or miss.
July 20, 2018
I wasn't truly into the whole conflict with the Leader in this volume, though the last two issues redeem the storyline.
November 25, 2021
A pretty boilerplate ending to this new She-Hulk direction. This whole storyline started out promising, but ended very cookie-cutter, and definitely doesn't live up to a lot of great She-Hulk runs by Slott, Soule, etc.

She-Hulk is still dealing with the fallout from Civil War II. Honestly, I’m mostly here for the She-Hulk/Hellcat friendship, which is fantastic.
Probably the best of the Tamaki run.

Jen Walters Must Die, sadly, brings the conclusion to the latest run for the She-Hulk. It’s a shame, really, since this series has been so wonderful. It’s explored a lot of difficult to talk about and emotional subjects, as well as covering issues like loss and trauma.
But don’t worry; this isn’t the end to She-Hulk forever. She’ll hopefully get rebooted soon, and in the meantime she’s going to be in the rebooted Avengers series! Jason Aaron (one of my favorite Marvel authors) will be writing that, and he intentionally decided to go with Jen instead of Bruce. That’s an interesting choice, and I can’t wait to see where that one leads.
Also, you might have noticed that the series has been changed from ‘Hulk’ to ‘She-Hulk’ again. The numbering has also changed to the more classic style, with this volume including issues 159-163 (obviously this series did not actually get one hundred and fifty nine issues out of it, which is a shame if you ask me).

This was a pretty good volume and kinda deals with this woman named Robyn whose obsessed with She-hulk and we see her capture Jen and the man behind it all is The Leader and so its cool to see him return and then seeing how he is manipulating Robyn from behind and I love how in ever story you have a villain whose the parallel of Jen in some way and like the villain at the moment for her, representing her feelings or psyche and I love that exploration. The last 2 volumes were about her embracing the being she had become and Robyn wants to become a Hulk mutate like her and we find out the origins and how its in contrast to Jen and the meta-commentary here which is just awesome and seeing the two really makes you feel for the villain too, and like shows how the leader wants to manipulate both and have Jen break her code and become the monster.
But this run comes a complete arc showing Jen embracing her dark side, getting over the fear and helping Robyn and sort of complete that arc and the next 2 stories are pretty simple with like her getting help from that Flo woman and in her psyche confronting her fears from CW2 and how it has impacted her and the writer does so well to address it in a manner thats befitting, rather than just brush it aside. Her fears are given form and you love to read it as a reader, showing how Jen is finally getting over it and the return of her green side which was awesome and then the last story with her trying to protect this mutant girl from some mutant haters which was cute.
Overall I love this story showing how far Jen has come, embracing her trauma and defeating it and helping others. The 4th wall breaking towards the end was awesome and typical she-hulk humor but then again thats the best part of it. The full tone of the book changed from when this run started to now.. a completion of an entire arc and I love it more for that! So definitely give it a read, you will love it!!

Tamaki and co. continue to produce a great comic book that is primarily character driven, with relatively "small" stories. The first arc, ostensibly about the Leader and more overtly "superheroey" stuff, plants all the seeds for the rest of the issues in the volume, whose linking thread is Jen's taking a case defending a mother who, in order to protect her mutant daughter from anti-mutant protesters, beat up the leader of the protesters. Jen loses the case, and the self-doubt and questioning that follow fuel the Leader storyline.
As spillover from the Leader issues and the case that fed into it, Jen visits Flo Mayer, the therapist and self-help author whose been "stalking" off and on through the run so far. The issue that follows sees Jen deal with the fallout of a number of recent events.
In the final issue--which seems to have become an inevitable Hellcat guest stars issue that is even less "superheroey" (and often more comedic) than the rest of the volume--Jen attends the prom of the young mutant whose mom is now in jail, and we see the results of all the previous issues worth of character work that's built throughout the volume.
The stories work together wonderfully, complementing and contrasting one another and building to a clear volume climax as the case Jen lost moves from the background to the foreground of the final issue, now replete with the echoes from the issues that preceded it and focused on the case's impact on Jen and her ongoing psychological struggles. Beautifully done.
Oh! and while the art is strong throughout, Diego Olortegui, who pencils just the last issue, #163, is stellar. I've never heard of him before, but that issue's pencils were amazing.

3.5 to be honest.
I admit I am glad this is the end of Tamaki's run on She-Hulk. It wasnt all that bad but focused a lot on comedic elements. The first arc was interesting because gone was Jennifer's permanent green Hulk phase. Jen was working through biological changes in the wake of her coma from fighting Thanos back during Civil War II. It was genuniely interesting to see Jen in a position where she couldnt control the Hulk. The Hulk became more simple minded and, as seen in other Marvel books, basically went on rampages here and there. For this final arc, Tamaki still had more humor than I would like. I felt this hurt the fact that Walters was facing up against long time baddie, The Leader.
The arc was actually shorter than expected. The Leader created a new Hulk figure and was fairly easy defeated. Not much of a true match up.
There was still something worth picking up from this final volume. Jen Walters repeatedly struggled in a way to control the Hulk because she didn't want to kill. Though mostly through inner monologue, Jen does have a couple of out of body experiences in which she still fights with all her mentality to keep herself in check. Of the several issues that make up the volume, the second to last is probably the best written. It consists of Jen working with a psychologist to address her inner demons that what she feels is keeping her from staying in control. By the end, Jen figures it all out and is able to successfully regain control of her Hulk persona and regain her greenness. This and the last issue in which we get a soap box discussion on what makes people different but unique and good, is definitely a feel good issue to end a run on.
Sidenote: tall, green, She-Hulk is gorgeous.
