Book Review: She-Hulk Vol. 2 by C. Soule et al.

She-Hulk Volume 2: Disorderly Conduct written by Charles Soule, storytelling by Javier Pulido, and colors by Muntsa Vicente

See my review of Volume 1 here.

The legal and action adventures of She-Hulk, aka Jennifer Walters, continues. A scientist friend who is not a superhero has developed a shrinking and enlargening ray but is having trouble monetizing it because his partner doesn't want to. The partner has also disappeared, presumably having shrunk himself. She-Hulk calls on Hank Pym, aka Ant-Man, for consultation but he insists on joining in the adventure. After that's resolved, Captain America comes to Jennifer's office with a case he needs help with. Steve Rogers is being sued for a wrongful death dating back to the 1940s. He needs representation. Too bad the lawyer for the other side is Matt Murdock, aka Daredevil. If that wasn't bad enough, Cap doesn't want to settle outside of court or get off on a technicality, making things more challenging for Jennifer. This volume concludes with a wrap-up of the "Blue File" storyline.

The "Blue File" story goes very quickly, I think because the series was ending before the creators were ready. The other stories are a good blend of fun and drama. Soule does a good job with the legal situations and language. He also captures the spirit of adventure and goofy charm of She-Hulk. The art isn't great as drawings but some of the layouts are very well done.

Recommended.
