Preview pages at the bottom. PAD mostly gives hints at what Jen's new status quo will be and why Jen isn't just "Hulk with breasts."

I Just love the preview pages. :D

Also I just hope that PAD is able to mention the Hulk during his first issue, because while Slott was very careful not to mention any Post-WWH moments, by the time PAD comes in WWH will be over. :D

It doesn't appear that WWH will be over when PAD's first issue ships. WWH #5 is currently scheduled for October 31st while PAD's first She-Hulk is currently scheduled for October 24th.

Darn it. :mad:

Well, PAD did mention that Stark will be involved in his run on the She-Hulk, so maybe we'll be hearing a mentioning of WWH there ? :p

Really looking forward to this run! I love She-Hulk, but didn't really like Slott's take on her, but PAD is the master of all things Hulk so I'm board. The art was weird though.

I liked Slott's runs on She-Hulk hes always good at writing female characters. We'll how PAD handles this title before I comment.

I like the pencils but not the colouring. When Jen's Hulked up she's freakin' neon.

That said, Jen the Bounty Hunter has potential but only if the humor isn't sacrificed for the sake of action.

Okay, a skiptracer/bounter hunter angle makes sense. I'm going to miss the humor because it really made She-Hulk's book unique compared to some of the 'gloom/doom' stuff, but at the same time, I'm not sure that it would make sense that she COULD keep it given all shulkie's been through with CW and WWH..at least not right away. Hopefully the humor will not be entirely out though it will be dimmed, and eventually Shulkie will 'get her groove back' so to speak.

So I'll be reading the first issue or two of the run and giving it a chance.

PAD can do funny. A lot of his stuff in X-Factor is hilarious. So I wouldn't worry about that all.

My biggest problem with Slott's She-Hulk is the continuity of it; a lot of what happened in the book doesn't really work with the rest of the mainstream Marvel universe. I wonder if PAD will try to clean that up, or just leave it as a part of Dan's run (I personally think he should just leave it and not bring it up again, since the oddities like that were a big reason people liked Dan's She-Hulk).

Looks like she-hulk is in good hands. Though I am sort of sad that he said he want less humor and more action. This is one of those titles like Cable and Deadpool that I just enjoy because its a little bit goofy.

Oh well, sounds like there is a plan and I'll keep buying.

I'm all for PAD using a different direction with the book, I don't want his run to be "Dan Slott-lite" either. Still, I have to admit I'm a bit apprehensive of this becoming a generic superhero book too. Still, fingers crossed. Let's hope PAD manages to make the book special like Dan did.

I wouldn't think of touching it. Dan's run was unique. Trying to bend over backwards to have it meld seamlessly with the rest of the Marvel U would be downright insulting.

Holy crap, it's the man himself!

I loved Rick Jones bachelor party the most out of your Hulk run. Your X-Factor was cool too, especially the Kermit Hare Khrishna line during the Madrox fight going back to the Muppets Movie.

Thanks for the memories and good luck on your new run.

Woohoo! Well, that puts aside that worry. Looking forward to the book!

The art isn't bad, but it's not great either. And I don't like the coloring very much at all. Still, it's nice to see new blood in the line of Marvel artists, and that gives him a lot of room to grow.

Um, the art work really isn't a selling point for me here. It's not good in my opinion. True, the last penciller on the series wasn't really detailed either. It just seemed to fit the mood of the book. Hopefully, this art too will come to fit the feel of the book and smooth out any issues it might currently be experiencing (neon green Jen for instance).

And I must admit, meek and mild Jen busting down doors and pointing a gun does have me worried a bit! I'm just hoping Mr. David still manages to bring in his humor to a character I now see as being a more light hearted hero.
