Graphic Novel Review - 'She-Hulk by Mariko Tamaki Omnibus' by Mariko Tamaki (Writer), Various Artists

I read yet another 'She-Hulk' omnibus, this time one that includes all three volumes of Mariko Tamaki's run on the big green/grey lawyer woman, which focuses on her PTSD post-'Civil War II'.

I have already read and reviewed the first volume - which can be found here - and much of that applies here as well, so I won't say much in this review. What I will add is the omnibus of Tamaki's 'Hulk' (female, and grey, and then green again) contains one of the best modern stories and depictions of the Marvel superheroine out there. It's an examination and exploration of PTSD and grief, and it is also funny, exciting, action-packed, hella introspective, and surprising. There is also cake. Cake making. Disturbing cakes. It makes sense in the comic. Hellcat/Patsy Walker plays a major role as Hulk/Jennifer Walters' best friend. Good, I missed her. She is severely underrated. She's such a fun superheroine, like Squirrel Girl, and she needs more fun adventures. Female empowerment is everywhere, and toxic masculinity can go &*^@! itself.

After everything, 'She-Hulk by Mariko Tamaki Omnibus' ends on an antibigotry story starring a teenage girl mutant, set in a high school prom. It is awesome.

She-Hulk - or Hulk here, the one and only - is awesome. Thus I recommend this omnibus about her, and several others, including 'She-Hulk by Dan Slott', 'She-Hulk by Peter David', and 'Marvel-Verse: She-Hulk'.

Hard to believe Jen Walters can come back happy and jokey again for Rainbow Rowell's 2022 run. I'm sceptical after reading 'She-Hulk, Vol. 1: Jen, Again' now.

Final statement: Marvel Comics' 'Civil War II' was still a mistake and was executed poorly (and now I know most of it was not even Captain Marvel's fault, as the general consensus says. Misogyny the reason?). Mariko Tamaki's run on Jennifer's Walters' 'Hulk' is one of the good things to come out of that wreckage of a crossover event.

Final Score: 4/5
