She-Hulk by Rainbow Rowell Vol. 5: All In (SENSATIONAL SHE-HULK, #5)

Beloved YA writer Rainbow Rowell continues her sensational She-Hulk run — and some of She-Hulk's very best friends are along for the ride!

She-Hulk, Hellcat and Captain Marvel were supposed to have a nice night out at Patsy Walker’s favorite bar…but it’s the Marvel Universe and, in the Marvel Universe, we can’t have nice things. With their very souls at stake, Carol Danvers asks Jennifer Walters a question that could have absolutely huge consequences! In the meantime, Jen and Jack of Hearts’ space vacation gets quite dangerous. Lingering questions from years ago are going to be asked again, and the answers may just destroy the new It Couple of Comics!

Summary:

Jennifer is admittedly very good at what she does - be it working as a lawyer, acting as an Avenger, you name it. Unfortunately, she’s never really felt like she has perfected that balance.

It’s also been a long time since she looked for something, or rather, someone, more permanent when it comes to her love life. So it’s safe to say that things are changing, but is She-Hulk ready to accept those changes?

Review:

I’m not going to lie; I’ve been curious to see how far the whole Jen and Jack arc would go. Naturally, I dove into my copy of She-Hulk Vol. 5. I just had to find out! This is She-Hulk, after all.

The only downside to this volume is I’m pretty sure this marks the end of yet another She-Hulk series. Or at least Rainbow Rowell’s run of She-Hulk. I wouldn’t have minded more, but I do have to admit that this was a fitting ending.

She-Hulk Vol. 5 dives all in on the “will they/won’t they” trope, all while throwing a few curveballs at us readers. It was emotional at times, tense at others, and hilarious in other moments. In other words, it’s a solid She-Hulk tale.

I love that some of Jack’s backstory came into play in this volume. A lot was getting left out, but now that feels more full circle. It helps to settle any debate about what could happen with this couple.

As always, I loved the artwork! She-Hulk Vol. 5 has some of the best colors and designs; overall, there’s a lot of energy. The fights are epic, the expressions never hold back, and it’s a lot of fun to read. I hope the artists had as much fun making it.

Highlights:
Superhero Drama
Cameos Galore
Law, Love, and Loyalty
