Why We Have a Hulk
When Marvel’s The Avengers finally stormed theaters in 2012, it was met with near-universal acclaim. Everyone had their favorite characters and moments, but the one who seemed to get the most attention was the Hulk. Unlike the earlier cinematic incarnations of the not-so-gentle giant, this was a Bruce Banner less concerned with containing – and […]
REVIEW: She-Hulk: Attorney at Law – Season 1, Episode 9 “Whose Show is It?”
“Whose Show is This?” is so bad I’m tempted to say it has to be seen to be believed, but recommending someone watch this show is tantamount to committing a war crime. She-Hulk’s season finale takes shots at Marvel fans, Marvel movies, Kevin Feige, and its own writers, while embarrassing a host of characters, all […]
REVIEW: She-Hulk: Attorney at Law – Season 1, Episode 7 “The Retreat”
I suppose “The Retreat” is better than last week’s episode of She-Hulk, if only because the last twenty seconds – and only the last twenty seconds – advance the plot.

REVIEW: She-Hulk: Attorney at Law – Season 1, Episode 2 “Superhuman Law”
Well, color me shocked; She-Hulk’s second episode is not bad. After that obnoxious pilot, I had pretty much put a fork in this show. But after a rocky first few minutes, “Superhuman Law” is surprisingly fun and human, does vital work rehabilitating Jen as a character, and even raises some fascinating moral questions that give […]
Comic-Con 2022: New She-Hulk Trailer Can’t Make a Case
Before this year’s Comic-Con ended, Marvel gave us another – well, I hesitate to call it a treat, but it’s likely bad for us, if only mentally. A new She-Hulk: Attorney at Law trailer is out, and it’s about on par with the first one. She-Hulk stars Tatiana Maslany as Jennifer Walters, a lawyer who […]
