Overall the key issues for She-Hulk really do put new perspective on the show and highlight where the show pulled not only its tone but some of its arcs. She's consumed by anger and fear and that is explored as she finally reconciles her two halves. The death of her cousin Bruce at the hands of fellow Avenger Hawkeye (and his subsequent acquittal) puts Jen on a path where she channel's Bruce's troubles with the Hulk and becomes uncontrollable when she transforms. Post Civil War 2 sees a change for the character. That leads to some really funny moments (like her getting kicked out of Avengers mansion for being too wild). In the comics, Jen prefers to be in her She-Hulk form because that's the form that makes her feel powerful, invincible and capable of standing up to the world around her. But aside from that, this character has always been about a woman challenging the male driven world around her. Yes, She-Hulk is a Hulk with incredible strength but she's also be written as a smart, funny character that has no problems crawling outside of the comic panels to challenge her writers/artists (sound familiar?). First off, the show pulled their tone from John Byrne's classic time writing the character in the 1989 Sensational She-Hulk series. Nope, this timing is completely planned.Īnyway, after seeing some of the confused reactions to the Disney+ show, it actually is a pretty good time to remind folks just who Jennifer Walters aka She-Hulk is and how writers have tackled that character over the years.

The timing has nothing to do with the fact that Kriss is late on releasing this episode because work has completely swamped him.

Now that the first season of the She-Hulk series on Disney+ is over, now is a great time to talk about She-Hulks comic book history. * The Flash Volume 1: Lightning Strikes Twice We start with the first three volumes and when we come back we'll hit The Button (the crossover with Batman and setup for Doomsday Clock). And of course the most important thing: how naive Barry is and how he runs into situations without seeing the big picture. We start with Wally coming back then there are hints of Jay as well. Anyone that's read this run knows it comes back down to Barry vs Thawne but the way this run starts off, it removes some of the staples like Thawne and the Rogues and focuses first on undoing some of the mistakes from New 52. But this run during DC's rebirth really gets Barry back to the basics. Sure in 2009 Geoff Johns did a "rebirth" of Barry Allen, having him finally return to the mantle after being dead for so long. We consider this the reintroduction of Barry Allen. Sorry for the delay folks but we're finally hitting the Joshua Williamson run of The Flash. We finally get back into recording Character Corners and it still takes me 2 weeks to release the episode. Want more podcast greatness? Sign up for a MTR Premium Account!

If the first three volumes were a reintroduction of Barry Allen, these next set of volumes are a reminder of why Eobard Thawne is one of the scariest and evil villains in DC. After being largely absent in the first three volumes, Thawne features heavily in the next set of volumes for The Flash. The way he beats Bruce's ass in the Batcave is a good reminder that speed beats prep time. But it also reminds us that Eobard Thawne is the epitome of evil. We first stop over at Batman and pick up with The Button which takes us closer to understanding the forces behind all the lost time and history in the DC Universe. But we're back for the next set of issues from the Joshua Williamson Flash run. We promised 2 episodes in March and we're squeezing it right in there at the 11th hour.
