She-Hulk #7-13 (2006): She-Hulk gets married

She-Hulk’s Civil War involvement is mostly issue #8. She tries to get Speedball released from prison, and represents the New Warriors’ in their resistance to registration. Almost as an afterthought, all the issues she’s had with having trouble controlling her changes are resolved by Doctor Strange.

This book has a ton of plots and subplots. If we’re not going to get good resolution of them, why have them?

Anyway, the main story across these issues is Shulkie getting married to John Jameson at an Elvis wedding chapel.

J. Jonah Jameson can’t stand having a super in the family so he attacks She-Hulk with an old Spider-Slayer robot.

Then John Jameson becomes Man Wolf for the first time in a long time. He then picks up his Stargod identity again.

They then go to space where there’s some cosmic lawyering involving Thanos and Starfox. Only it’s NOT Thanos.


Remember back in 1997 when Ka-Zar defeated Thanos? Of course you do, because it was one of the best Thanos stories of all time.

But it was an anomaly. Thanos was entirely out of character.

Dan Slott made it all make sense in his wonderful run on She-Hulk: It wasn’t Thanos! It was a very powerful clone! In fact, several recent “Thanos” appearances have really been appearances of one of a race of clones called Thanosi.

OK, that’s pretty good.

Ultimately, She-Hulk decides that she can’t be married to a Man-Wolf and they get an anullment. (Note: Part of the She-Hulk/Man-Wolf saga was told in a Two-Gun Kid One Shot.)

Awesome Andy is also getting romantic.

It’s Mallory Book, an attorney from She-Hulk’s firm. They have a cute little side-storyline.

These issues are VERY busy. Not bad, just busy. The storylines come flying fast and furious, there’s dozens of characters, and sometimes it’s all just a little too flippant. But overall, an enjoyable read. It’s barely a Civil War tie-in.
