The Sensational She-Hulk

Rating:
Summary: Ain't She Un-Glamo-Rays!
Review: This just may be the issue of John Byrne's amazing "Fantastic Four" comic book run you possibly missed. Tied in directly to the comic book series (as many of Marvel's graphic novels were) this lavishly illustrated oversize work is severely underrated and never re-printed outside of this format.
The story is a little odd, as it deals with a herd of radioactive roaches (yes, you read that right) taking over the S.H.I.E.L.D. heli-carrier by possessing one of its top agents. Shulkie is called in because she is a member of the F.F. as well as being very well accustomed to the effects radiation can have on a body. And what a body (more on that in a sec). The roaches are vanquished and national security is saved, but not before She-Hulk is bombarded with radiation once again thus preventing her from ever returning to her normal everyday alter-ego, Jennifer Walters.
This book is a key moment for the Incredible Hulk's less famous (but much cuter cousin) and shouldn't be missed. Byrne's art plays beautifully in this larger format and She-Hulk has never looked better. I was about 14 when I first read this comic, and She-Hulk immediately was catapulted to uber-babe status based on this work. And I still enjoy the work (albeit for different reasons) to this day. Buy it! It's cheap! No F.F. collection is complete without it!
