She-Hulk #22-24 (2007-2008): Jaded

Peter David signs on as series writer, with a relative newcomer, Shawn Moll, doing the pencils.  Let’s see if it helps with a book that has been…Underwhelming of late.

The creative switchover starts with the cover: She-Hulk is breaking the fourth wall, grabbing the hands of cover artist Mike Deodato.  None of that happens inside the books, though.  Instead, we get a soft reboot as She-Hulk transitions from attorney to bail bondsman.  Partnered with a skrull named Jazinda, they collect on Absorbing Man’s cousin.

This leads to a fight involving one of my all-time favorite Marvel villains, and his girlfriend, Titania, who is still ant-size after being shrunk to fit into Hank Pym’s tiny prison for supervillains.  The action is inventive and the dialogue is fantastic (but you already knew that because I already said Peter David was the new writer).

At the end, we learn that Jazinda’s father is Super Skrull and he considers her a race traitor.

On issue #22’s letter page, Peter David introduces himself to the readership.
