Summary: The search for She-Hulk
Review: Okay, i admit i havent actually read this book but i have read the comics that are reprinted in it, the story is great, Geoff Johns links all the charecters together and they all play a part, the avengers is a big team and not many writers can juggle all of them in one story, Sott Kolins art is great, but not many people like it and you might not either, then again thats may opinion.
overall scale: 2 stars

Summary: Where's the Bang?
Review: This final chapter of writer Geoff Johns' Avengers run is comprised of character-driven big stories, showing why the Avengers are Earth's Mightiest Heroes in three seperate stories.
The first focuses on the Wasp and Yellowjacket in Vegas resolving their relationship with great art by Steve Sadowski (and of course, "where's the bang?" refers to the (...) scene that has been cut from this collected edition).
The second story is a three-issue arc that names this collection, "The Search for She-Hulk". Scott Kollins delivers the same action-packed storytelling that he did in the Flash (where he was first partnered with Geoff Johns). Kollins is an accomplished artist, able to merge the fantastic world of super powers and the mundane reality of everyday people. The impact of She-Hulk's rampage is felt in the wide-angle shots, as well as the up-close character-shots. Kollins takes special care in designing even background characters and this ups the stakes of the story.
The final part of the collection resolves the conflict between Jack of Hearts and Ant-Man. These two minor characters have flourished under Johns' pen. While the conclusion is a bit too pat - perhaps brought on by the urgency of Johns' departure - it still serves to open up the characters of Ant-Man, Jack of Hearts, and the other Avengers in its simple choices.
"The Search for She-Hulk" is a stronger collection than expected. It shows fans what might have happened if Johns had stayed with the team - solid, character-driven stories that make every Avenger truly formidable. There's little wasted dialogue, and a lot of care to show each hero, villain and bystander in their full complexity. Geoff Johns is the first person in a long time whose vision of the Avengers combines the nobility and power inherent in the team with a human scope of stories that draw a reader in. I would have liked to have seen more, and I highly recommend the three volumes of his run to anyone interested in seeing what Marvel's old-school super team can do with modern storytelling.

Summary: She-Hulk smash!
Review: What a story! Jenn Walters, AKA She-Hulk, cousin to Bruce Banner, is now a rampaging She-Hulk, after fellow Avenger Jack of Hearts destroys her gamma radiation balance in her body. She's on the run, a la Bruce Banner or David Banner in the TV series, and her metamorphosis are triggered by fear, and is tracked to Idaho, where the Avengers find her...and her cousin. Not a pretty sight, as she does what she never has done, reverted to a rampaging mindless yet extremely powerful She-Hulk!
The art is not bad, and Jenn Walters human form is portrayed very well. She looks like the pretty lawyer she's always been. Her metamorphosis into She-Hulk are frightening, as not only do her eyes go green(a nod to the classic TV series), but they turn blood red as well, evoking a demonic possession. Her She-Hulk form is also drawn well, though her hairstyle reminds me too much of the big hair of my 80's youth, and John Byrne's Fantastic Four She-Hulk.
A great story, as Cap, Iron Man, Scarlet Witch, and even Hawkeye show up to stop her from destroying a small Idaho town, and the Hulkbusters finally show up, with Doc Samson leading the vanguard. Interesting to see her act like her cousin, with classic "She Hulk Smash!" fist poundings, throwing cars and the traditional "Hulk no like" dialogue. Indeed, the meeting between her and Bruce Banner is touching, as she still cares for him and is very protective of him, no matter what he has done.
Highly reccomended, with plenty of traditional action and old school Avengers vs. Hulk fights.
