First Look: SHE-HULK #1

Looks good, just the art is a tad odd.

Don't like her outfit. It's too goofy... Then again it seems like that's the way this title will go: Comedy.

@jwalser3: I had the same thought, I've got no problem with 'cartoony' art or whatever you'd call it but something about it just seemed strange.

I don't like the art

What happened to her eyes!?

She looks like an alien, ugly art

I was going to pick this up but I'm not feeling the art that much, hmm...

@wardishy: Like FFs art and Daredevil are fine. But it's things like this, I can't get past.

"She Hulk...Who...Who are you looking at?"

This look horrible. Won't go further than 5-10 issues IMO.

Ehhhh. No.

LOVE ME!!!!

I like the art until the close up of her face

Was excited for this title, then I saw the art, I'll pass to many other options out there

Those covers are freaking gorgeous. The interiors...ehhh?

Looking forward to this and the art looks fine to me.

Her new outfit looks freakin' ugly. Seriously, what was wrong with this outfit?

Why, art? Why must you repel me from this book I'm otherwise interested in? What did I do to you?

how did this horrible art make it past marvel quality control. oh right they don't have that department.

why cant the art inside be like the cover art?????

Why can't she just be naked I say!

I might sound like a pessimist here but I don't like the outfit or the art. The covers are great and I really dig the fact Jennifer gets a bigger part of Marvel.

I'm not feeling the art for this book. I like this guy's art in everything else he does...just not here.

I'll likely wait till they change artists, before I get this book....and I was really close to wanting to pick this up too...

@animehunter u in?!

The art looks terrible but the story sounds interesting. Are their any books out there that Soule ISN'T writing lol

Yup, I liked she-hulk although this art, let's just say I hope the writings good.

Me too.

Sounds like an interesting series substance-wise, but when it comes to style, I don't think I could look at it.

The art isn't my style which sucks cuz I really wanted to get this

Hmm, must try out a first few issues before seeing will i pull it.

Looks like a fun book.

All of the variants are a million times better than the interiors... yeesh

@staypuffed: except Skottie "I can't believe im getting paid to draw these 5 minute doddles of the same gimmick a million times for these expensive variant covers" Young

reminds me of Hawkeye!!!!

The art isn't that great though.

reminds me of captain marvel sigh. cause gods forbid a female led book where said lead is going on adventures

I don't have any problem with the art...

I honestly love that Skottie Young variant. As played out as the idea is, I really like this one.

This will get canceled real fast...

I like the art, but I really don't like how Pulido's faces look...heads look too round, almost a perfect circle...

I've been looking forward to the new She Hulk series forever. I love Pulido's artwork, but the preview could have been better. I'm sure once he gets used to drawing Jen, it'll be okay. Hey Marvel, how about me on art? =)

its horrible

Skottie Young cover! Pulido wouldn't be my first choice, but the art looks better than I was expecting it to. I'm just so happy to have a She-Hulk solo again.

@novemberx2: I love Skottie Young!

I will have to get used to the art, but when the first series started I wasn't too thrilled about Bobillo either. And I ended up loving him. The new outfit looks very 80s-ish. But I kinda like that, I mean, Jen is into 80s power ballads, so that's alright.

I'm definitely checking this out and happy about Shulkie rocking her own series again!

I love all the variant covers (Wada's my fave) and I am loving the interior art and I am loving the new costume.

Hopefully this book does well.

@novemberx2: I know I'm getting pretty bored of his covers now

Pulido's art bugs me, but it's less about the style and more about the finish.

I love minimalist and/or pop art styles. I think the likes of Samnee and Aja and Allred do *incredible* work on their respective titles, and they're joyous exercises in less is much, much more. There's amazing craft in Samnee's backgrounds, in his use of shadows - there's incredible presence in Allred's characters' eyes, and a disarming quality in his almost naive poses and body language. The latter powers Aja's art, as well, with an almost cinematic flow across pages, each sequential pose seamlessly woven into the next. There's palpable effort - a sense that everything about their styles is deliberate and carefully applied.

Pulido can draw people however he likes. Wide, fish-eyed faces is all well and good. What really gets to me, however, is an unshakable sense that a lot ends up looking one way or another because of who cares.

The Hawkeye annual was especially gruelling for me, because it was basically 50% silhouettes. Artistic choice? Mayyybeeeeee....? I didn't feel that way. I felt like it was a quick way to skip drawing stuff. Because uggghhh...; drawing stuff, right? When we DO get drawings, they look like this:

This is a panel from the Hawkeye Annual. What bothers me isn't that it's not perfectly photo realistic, it's that it looks like even the style attempted is compromised by this must only take 2 minutes to draw and ink. I'm almost insulted by the Hydra guy's hand.

I just get the impression that the one drawing it doesn't feel it's worth spending time and effort doing, and so I'm overwhelmed by a desire to echo the sentiment and put the comic down. I pulled through because I love Hawkeye and I love Matt Fraction's writing, but it was truly agonising to see Pulido silhouette his way through almost the entire story, creating a crippling disconnect between the writing and what was going on.

You can google Pulido and find pages from comics prior that look completely fine. I can take or leave his style, but it's much harder to swallow this seemingly new-found nonchalance. I find it so much more irritating than an art style I truly hate, but you can tell that the artist is *trying*.

And I'm sure people will tell me to just *not read this* if it bothers me so much, and you're right. I probably won't. That sucks, though, because I was stoked about a new She-Hulk book.
