"Look, I know this is a first for us, but everything'll be fine. I promise. And if things get - you know - we've got a 'safety word.'" -- She-Hulk, setting the scene for knockin' da boots
"No kidding. I came up with a few more . . . like 'OW!' and 'Dear God!' and 'crushed pelvis.'" -- John Jameson, paramour with a wicked sense of humor
From its opening moments - depicting Jen Walters happily warbling along to Queen's 'Don't Stop Me Now' on her iPod during a morning jog through Manhattan - to its 'aw, shucks' conclusion featuring the resurrected heroic sharp-shootin' triggerman Two-Gun Kid being brought out of limbo, Time Trials avoids the sophomore slump pitfalls of the prior volume, and bounces back to restore the heart and humor of the introductory book. Memorable scenes include flashbacks to She-Hulk's debut in the ranks of the Avengers (a monster alien invasion interrupts a costume fitting organized by her new teammates Wasp, Scarlet Witch, and Captain Marvel) and the Fantastic Four (with our captured super-heroine being drawn and quartered by Skrulls . . . until she surreptitiously gains the upper hand), although that central 'time variance'-related storyline occasionally grew a bit tedious.

Just in time for the series, it's time to catch up on Dan Slott's She-Hulk!
I've read a good amount of the John Byrne series over the years, which was more of a comedy about obscure Marvel (and yes, it was meta before Deadpool). I have to say Dan Slott is better, he also has expertise on encyclopedia continuity knowledge but the embrace of the character's background as a lawyer is what makes this character so special.
A well-written and well-researched legal drama about superheroes is such a brilliant idea. This particular volume has She-Hulk #100, in which she is put on trial by the Time Variance Authority-that is the one from Loki--and not only is it splendidly confusing time travel science fiction it's also a heartfelt nod to Jen Walter's history in the Avengers and Fantastic Four over the years. Much fun.
However, I just can't get into Juan Bobillo's art. It's unique, something different than the musclebound action scenes from the usual superhero comics, but that cartoony style simply doesn't work for me. Makes the story-telling suffer a bit, unfortunately.
All in all highly recommended for nerdy fans, check it out...

I thought this was so much fun! And once again my time-travel geekdom is showing itself...
But, it was a nice story arc to start things off with. I'm reading on Marvel Unlimited and thought I was starting at the beginning of the 2004-2009 run of She-Hulk. Ummm...yeah, so definitely confused by Marvel's numbering system. What do they do, re-number every time a new story arc starts or something??? I loved that She-Hulk was in trouble with the Time Force Authority (I think that's what they were called...) and was put on trial for her very existence. Plus, taking the Two Gun Kid home with her to "rehabilitate" was awesome. Probably the only thing I wasn't a gigantic fan of was the whole "male roommate secretly in love with his female roommate/best friend" trope.
Also, the whole thing with Hawkeye was slightly confusing. Did or didn't he know what Jen was trying to tell him??? The thing with the Shulky induced disaster in Idaho was interesting to me and I liked seeing how Jen was dealing (or not) with the damages she'd caused and the life she'd possibly taken. Overall, this was just plain fun and I'd recommend it. As for the artwork, after the trainwreck that happened 2/3 of the way through Vol. 1 of Charles Soule's run, I have ZERO complaints to make on that score. *Drops mic and runs for her life*

This third volume is technically a soft reboot. The series was cancelled with 12 issues and then it came back in less than a year with the same creative team. There's a really good meta joke here about the state of Marvel comics and the focus on trades against single issues. And how it was the trade paperbacks that were the ones that ended up saving this title.
Anyway! So, first two issues collected here are my favorite so far. Too many fun moments. She-Hulk and her colleague Pug are representing a man who has been in every screen for the last few days. He's a murderer, and the footage of him killing someone in the middle of the street, unprovoked and shooting the victim from behind has been quite public. Thing is, he says it was in self-defense. He actually has technology, a chrono-phone, that allowed him to receive a call from the future warning him of an attempted homicide. To avoid a biased jury, the TVA is involved in picking people from the past who have, of course, zero previous knowledge of the case. It's in here where a Clint Barton from the past meets Jen and she can't help but try to warn Clint of his future demise. In doing so, she is of course breaking every TVA law of preserving the timeline.
Third issue is all about Jen. It's the 100th issue of She-Hulk, so it's an appreciation for her character and Marvel history. It takes place in the TVA trial against Jen. Here, Shulkie is celebrated by a huge cast of Marvel superheroes who are there to act as character witnesses in an attempt to save She-Hulk from the TVA's most severe punishment, being erased from every timeline.
Last two issues explore Jen's struggles about her destructive past as She-Hulk, while introducing a new character, the Two-Gun Kid.
This volume was so fun. It had some laugh out loud moments while still having a lot of personal reflexion and character development by Jen/She-Hulk. My favorite moments were related to Hawkeye, his obliviousness to any sign of him being dead in the current time was hilarious.
The art style in this volume varies a lot. For the 100th issue there are a few guest artists, so it was very irregular, but still good.
The comedy was great, the legal battles interesting and super original, there weren't many action scenes like in previous volumes, cause there was a focus on the personal this time around and I really liked it.
So far, this run has been pretty solid and fun. Can't wait to read the next one.

This volume didn't hit quite so hard for me, though the inside-baseball jokes about waiting for the trades was pretty fun for a comics reader of a certain age.
Reconciling Shulkie's participation in a bevvy of Marvel Events preceding the relaunch of this title kind of tied Slott's hands, I guess, but the other major downfall of the volume was art that was, to put it generously, inconsistent. So I grabbed this excellent, non-cringey piece from Deviantart instead!

I am enjoying this read. But the whole story (this volume and last) just feels off. It just feels like there is something missing from the storytelling. I mean the whole TVA storyline is just not well done. But really what turned me on this story is Captain America - especially prudish in this story - laughed at the dumb gag of She-Hulk being exposed without a top (nude) as a distraction to some alien pirates as told in the testimony at the trial. In fact most of her teammates would not laugh in court while their friend had he clothes removed without her permission. It is part of the whole problem with this arc by Dan Slott. Jen / She-Hulk can't be a female with her own life and such without being put down by her friends and teammates.

December 26, 2015A little too much time travel and talk about talk about paradoxes for my taste. Not that I mind these things in general, I love Doctor Who. But it felt a trifle out of place in this book. But I did really like the bits about Jen dealing with the havoc She-Hulk caused in Bone, Idaho. It's unusual for a superhero book to spend more than a token effort considering the aftermath of big battles, and even a token effort is usually too much to ask.

It's ok. Once again, I hated the fat (or soft) cartoony artwork. The Hawkeye/time travel and Bones Idaho story lines were alright, but not enough to make me want to seek out anymore of the She-Hulk volumes.
June 22, 2021
Mostly non-obnoxious time travel story. As time travel stories go, this is about as good as it gets. By which I mean, it didn't infuriate me.
Let's do a quick rundown of time travel stories that work and why:
Back to the Future: Works because it's fun. It's Teen Wolf but with a time machine instead of a cryptid. The science is completely unimportant. It's mostly jokes. And incest.
Demolition Man: Because Demolition Man works on every level. Fight me if you disagree. Physically fight me. It's a perfect film. There's a bunch of action set pieces, toilet humor, and a topless woman for absolutely no reason. I maintain that this may be the most gratuitous topless woman in film with the possible exception of the Friday the 13th movie where a girl takes her top off, swims IN THE DARK, and then gets out and puts her clothes back on and continues being in the movie, so there was no plot reason for her to go topless swimming.
Primer: This is the all-brains version of time travel, and it works because it doesn't particularly matter if the viewer totally 100% follows the science or explanation. Also, because the idea of what they're doing is to keep things contained and small, the plot doesn't get into "Maybe we should kill Hitler" territory. If you want to go back in time and kill Hitler, that's the core of your movie, not an incidental.
Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure: Because the idea of getting a time machine in order to pass a high school history class is so asinine, when you start there, you can do anything. Time travel exists so we can see Napoleon being a dick at a water park. Plus, Bill and Ted are dopey and likable, so you kind of can't get mad at them when they do a stupid time travel thing and it actually works. Also, why is this a thing in movies and TV: Students are supposed to do a history project for school, and they find some weird, backwards way to do it, and the project IS better than the stupid poster boards or whatever that the other students bring in, but in my experience, teachers are dickheads who would be like, "Well, thanks for bringing ACTUAL Socrates to class, but you didn't fill out the worksheet, and I don't see your cited sources, so I'm afraid you get an F."
Army of Darkness: I'm not totally sure why this movie has time travel. Maybe because at that time, it'd be easier to have a big medievil battle than a modern one with guns and shit? I dunno, but whatever the reason, it works. I think because the time travel motivates the character, but the story could easily take place in just about any time period. There's absolutely NO talk about Ash affecting the future, messing with the timeline, whatever. It's all just kind of vague, "evil happened because you're a fuck-up" stuff.
Terminators 1 &2: Time travel doesn't REALLY work in these, but they're so cool that it doesn't matter. After 2, things got a little too fucked-up for my liking. The series constantly begs the question: Why not just kill so-and-so's great grandpa in the old west when they won't even have anything that could take down a Terminator?

Collecting She-Hulk (2005) #1-5...
Leave it to Marvel to think outside the box. If you took the '4th wall' breaking of Deadpool and mixed in some time meta mumbo jumbo like you see in Exiles, that'd get you close to the odd flavor of this comic.
Bonus: Southpaw must have some kind of connection to "The Gauntlet" last seen somewhere around Avengers: Initiative

Silly Slott. Silly plots. Fun but hardly revelatory.
July 31, 2014
If there is one thing i love it's time travel and if there are two things I love it's time travel and superheroes, luckily this comic has both! This comic deals heavily with time travel in a really interesting and fun way. We get a good dose of nostalgia by looking back at old She-Hulk stories and special appearances by many of her closest friends and fan favorites like Spiderman and the Fantastic Four. This comic is a perfect balance of comedy, heart, story, and action. She-Hulk remains to be the most well developed female character within the Marvel universe as her character is examined and expanded in this well written volume.
October 31, 2022
She-Hulk finds herself representing a time traveler charged with murder who is claiming self-defense. With the client being the most high profile murder suspect in America, the lawyers of Goodman, Lieber, Kurtzberg & Holliway have to get creative to find a fair and unbiased jury pool... with a little help from the TVA (Time Variance Authority). But things get complicated when Hawkeye is pulled into jury duty!
I mean... maybe Slott's writing just isn't for me. There's a campiness and a penchant for drama that feels reminiscent to day-time court tv that I am not particularly fond of... but I am willing to give this series one more volume, because I've got a natural curiosity to weird legal cases, but my expectations for She-Hulk are at an all-time low. There's a pacing issue that seems to be getting worse with each issue and while I do think Jennifer needs the therapy, like a lot of therapy, the self-reflective pity parties she's throwing really do little for the plot.

8/10:
Man, I just LOVE She-Hulk. There’s something so real about this character that just oozes from the pages. This collection starts off the 2005 She-Hulk run from Dan Slott, and man is it brilliant! We’re reunited with Jennifer Walters as her law firm has been rebuilt and she’s had some escapades with both the Avengers and her cousin Bruce Banner (Hulk).
We get to a really interesting time-travel court case that allows us to explore a reality where the past, present, and future of Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk is explored and deemed essential to the existence of Earth-616 by the TVA. I mean, how awesome is that? And to top it off, this awesome case culminates in the 100th single issue to focus on She-Hulk while uniting her with an exciting new ally: Two-Gun Kid.
I can’t wait to keep going through this She-Hulk run, because this character is truly one of the best!

So much thinking and philosophizing about time travel.... way too much. So that is a negative. And some art is stupid (like when She-Hulk has a fluffy Tina Turner hair).
But then there are ha-ha-funny bits, some interesting romance drama and good art.
Bit of a so-so thing.

Enjoyed the book. Gave the reader a chance to peek into the past and into She-Hulk’s past mistakes. She is a strong confident character, but like many of us, still carries guilt from the past.
April 22, 2008
As this volume would suggest, She-Hulk takes several trips through time and weird bits of Marvel continuity. A set of jurors brought from the past (because the case had O.J.-like news saturation) for one of She-Hulk's cases includes Hawkeye prior to his death in Avengers Disassembled. She-Hulk does her best to inform him of his pending death, but gets caught by some Time Police, and has to prove the merit of her existence. After winning the case (duh), there's a flashback to her response to her destroying Bone, Idaho, and a story that brings the Two-Gun Kid to the present day.
Dan Slott does an excellent job combining geeky comic book humor, dizzying time travel paradoxes, and an interesting take on a giant green, attractive lawyer superhero. I really like the soft, not-especially-defined way Bobillo draws She-Hulk. The third issue (which commemorates the 100th combined issue of She-Hulk) is fun and features plenty of guest artists like Kollins, Eric Powell, Lee Weeks, Mike Mayhew and Amanda Conner.

One of the things that I love about Slott's take on She-Hulk is his careful attention to her goings-on with the Avengers, and that really takes center-stage here, thanks to repercussions from both The Search for She-Hulk and Disassembled, and it all comes off quite well. However, the main plot of this volume is about time travel justice, and if anything that's better than the Avengers-related plots, thanks to fun timey-wimeyness (1-2), a great flashback (4), and a terrific retrospective of She-Hulk's character (100). Overall, the best volume of Slott's She-Hulk so far [7+/10].
March 28, 2023
This was such a weird volume but I sorta like the end stories.
Okay the first story was kinda bad with some guy called Charles and Jen has to defend him as his defense is the man he murdered in the present would have otherwise killed him in the future and it gets bizarre with TVA involved and all that and the twist which was even weirder but thats to be expected. The best was the #100 which sort of had She-hulk on trial but that gave the writer the opportunity to reflect on the history and legacy of She-hulk and that was so well done and you can really see the love for her past in this volume and for that it made me love it, how the legacy of She-hulk is about saving people and inspiring others and I love it!
I love how he had set up Iron man 2020 and Reckoning war 15+ years before he actually did it and yeah its kinda cool. Sort of like identifying the easter eggs in 2022 now that the events have been out so kudos to him for that!
Then the next story in #4 is like a follow up to the Geoff Johns story in Avengers where she destroyed Idaho sort of, and like how that guilt had her wanting to go there and fix it, so yeah continuity wise read that story first and even if you don't its a good story about trying to help and like move forward after that trauma and kudos to the writer for connecting it all and moving forward!
The 5th story with Two-Gun kid was cool and its like bringing Jonah hex (DC) to the present so yeah it has some potential and will be fun to see how he becomes integral to the world of She-hulk next!
Its a good volume with a shaky start, but the last 3 stories are banger after banger and deep and emotional and really makes you love Shulkie even more and appreciates Slott as a writer whose pulling from so many continuities and plot-threads and setting stuff up.. its awesome seeing it, and you will have a confusing time a start but a good read by the end!

Its a good volume with a shaky start, but the last 3 stories are banger after banger and deep and emotional and really makes you love Shulkie even more and appreciates Slott as a writer whose pulling from so many continuities and plot-threads and setting stuff up.. its awesome seeing it, and you will have a confusing time a start but a good read by the end!

This is a fun story. There's a lot of time travel shenanigans here, but it manages to be not too confusing. I find myself rooting for a romantic pairing , but the creators keep dancing around it. I'll keep reading this series.
The artwork varies.

Goodreads lists this as Vol. 3 of Dan Slott's run on She-Hulk, but Libby lists it as Vol. 1 of the 2005/06 series, with 2 volumes in the 2004 series before this. It did feel a tiny bit like jumping into the middle of the story (Jen has a "Gamma changer" that she uses to change between her human and Hulk selves, which seems to be a recent thing), but I just chalked that up to comics continuity.
This was pretty good, but nothing amazing, although this volume seems to have introduced the idea of the law firm Jen works for representing & defending super-villains, which will happen in the new Disney+ series with Emil Blonsky, aka The Abomination. I also wonder if the new series will include (or even tease) the idea of "time trials" with the TVA, Kang, and the multiverse now all established in the MCU.

2022 Read A Graphic Novel Every Week Challenge - 36/52
She-Hulk messes with time, the script messes with meta references, and the visuals mess with reality in a whole issue where a different artist pops up every few pages. It's all disorientating in a fun way as the comic boils down to the ultimate question: what makes She-Hulk unique enough to guarantee her continued existence? And the answer, delightfully, was *everything*. The Slott run at this point seems to be a slow-burning story about forgiving yourself and growing as a person without throwing away the good which was already there. Lovely.

February 2, 2022Un bonito homenaje al personaje y un repaso de su trayectoria desde su creación hasta el 2005. Justo he leído la primera mención a la Reckoning War el día que empieza, 17 años después.
Las portadas de Greg Horn parecen de parodia porno y denotan cómo ha ido cambiando el medio (por lo menos hasta cierto punto), pero la caracterización de Jennifer Walters sigue tan bien como siempre, el elenco de secundarios es top y además hay viajes en el tiempo. Especialmente emotivo el número en el que Jen vuelve al pueblo que arrasó antes de empezar esta etapa.

Humour, heart, action, courtroom drama, time travel, Slott writes She-Hulk well, and this is an enjoyable tale that sees She-Hulk come to terms with the destruction she unwittingly wreaked in Bone, Idaho, while overseeing the defense in a time traveller killing court case that is big enough to warrant the attention of the TVA. So story is excellent, but sadly the art a little less so. Bobillo's visuals are sometimes just too cartoony and overexaggerated/simplified to work, which really does distract from the story being woven.

She-Hulk is one of my favorite characters and I like Dan Slott's writing. But while this volume had some fun ideas, time-travel stories aren't really my thing. What really knocked down the rating is the art. Bobillo's style is unique and distinctive, yes, but for my tastes it was thin, wan, oddly perspectived. And I really didn't dig the guest artist at all. I don't like giving creative endeavors such low ratings, but this volume really didn't do much for me.

She-Hulk is Such Fun!
The combination of comedy and drama of this series makes for incredibly entertaining reading! She-Hulk and her supporting cast are likable and funny but the stakes of the plot seem real and provide an immersive reading experience!
Several artists contribute at various points in the series and they bring their best work to it. Overall, this series always leaves me wanting more!

Dan Slott's first five issues in a brand new run of She-Hulk are a pure celebration of the character. It's a hilarious blast that cannot be understated. The art by Juan Bobillo and John Buscema certainly makes these issues burst at the seem with some fantastic vibrancy. Slott's exploration of the Jennifer Walters and She-Hulk duality is some of the best character exploration I've come across in the medium recently.

This was a lot of fun to read and I felt better after reading it. At the end of the day, isn't that what a good She-Hulk comic is supposed to do? She brings a levity to the Marvel universe while everything else always seems a bit serious. I'm trying to get caught up on a bunch of She-Hulk stories before the live-action series debuts. I hope the rest of the stories are as good as this one.
