About the author
Jason Aaron
2,360 books1,677 followersJason Aaron grew up in a small town in Alabama. His cousin, Gustav Hasford, who wrote the semi-autobiographical novel The Short-Timers, on which the feature film Full Metal Jacket was based, was a large influence on Aaron. Aaron decided he wanted to write comics as a child, and though his father was skeptical when Aaron informed him of this aspiration, his mother took Aaron to drug stores, where he would purchase books from spinner racks, some of which he still owns today.
Aaron's career in comics began in 2001 when he won a Marvel Comics talent search contest with an eight-page Wolverine back-up story script. The story, which was published in Wolverine #175 (June 2002), gave him the opportunity to pitch subsequent ideas to editors.
In 2006, Aaron made a blind submission to DC/Vertigo, who published his first major work, the Vietnam War story The Other Side which was nominated for an Eisner Award for Best Miniseries, and which Aaron regards as the "second time" he broke into the industry.
Following this, Vertigo asked him to pitch other ideas, which led to the series Scalped, a creator-owned series set on the fictional Prairie Rose Indian Reservation and published by DC/Vertigo.
In 2007, Aaron wrote Ripclaw: Pilot Season for Top Cow Productions. Later that year, Marvel editor Axel Alonso, who was impressed by The Other Side and Scalped, hired Aaron to write issues of Wolverine, Black Panther and eventually, an extended run on Ghost Rider that began in April 2008. His continued work on Black Panther also included a tie-in to the company-wide crossover storyline along with a "Secret Invasion" with David Lapham in 2009.
In January 2008, he signed an exclusive contract with Marvel, though it would not affect his work on Scalped. Later that July, he wrote the Penguin issue of The Joker's Asylum.
After a 4-issue stint on Wolverine in 2007, Aaron returned to the character with the ongoing series Wolverine: Weapon X, launched to coincide with the feature film X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Aaron commented, "With Wolverine: Weapon X we'll be trying to mix things up like that from arc to arc, so the first arc is a typical sort of black ops story but the second arc will jump right into the middle of a completely different genre," In 2010, the series was relaunched once again as simply Wolverine. He followed this with his current run on Thor: God of Thunder.

For some reason every time I see the cover to this issue I think it’s Nimrod. That’s not really relevant to this review, but just a little oddity I thought I should mention.
Anyway, Jen’s on a rampage because she’s been brainwashed by the Russians, and for some reason she’s decided to take Gorilla-Man along for the ride. Of course, he’s not completely unrelated to her current situation as he was the one who betrayed her and the Avengers to the Russians, allowing them to capture her in the first place.
Along the way we get a lot of musings from Gorilla-Man on the curse of immortality, and one can’t help but wonder if that’s relevant considering that it’s basically been established that Hulks are immortal. What would happen if she did kill him? Would she become even more immortal? Would she turn into a Gorilla-Hulk?
Anyway, this is a non-stop, action packed issue, as you’d expect from something titled “World War She-Hulk.” We’re leading to a show down between She-Hulk ad Namor, which should be entertaining…

Quite an action packed issue. Can’t wait to see the underwater battle that is going to happen very soon, maybe Thor’s lightning doesn’t help this time to tame the Winter Hulk
