Of Breast Expansion And She-Hulks

It seems, in my haste to congratulate my friend and awesome artist Wizdomtooth on his birthday I did forget the OBVIOUS She-Hulk related comic... which was her 30th anniversary issue. I'm never quite sure WHY they feel the need to pad these out with re-prints... I mean, I know that some people won't have read them but really, is it necessary? Regardless...

So, She-Hulk is 30 this year and Marvel (having put her on a bus for about eight months) decided to give her an anniversary issue. There are two new stories in it and I'll be covering those...

Just to keep all the Savage She-Hulk fanboys happy...

PAD opts for a rather droll and tongue-in-cheek story that harkens back to the Byrne era, with many a joke aimed at the 4th wall and Marvel... it even has Stan Lee in it... or the... uh, ghost of Stan Lee... well, he's ALMOST dead. Anyway, it's a playful piece based (very) loosely around A Christmas Carol and while it's spoiling what amounts to the punchline - I think it's funny enough to warrant it.

Shh, PAD! You're just giving them ideas!

And of course, we have the celebratory note for the finish... which, WON'T be a surprise.

Aww, happy ending and a cake!

And so, to the second story. There really isn't a lot to say about this, it just feels like a somewhat contrived crossover between Ms. Marvel, Spiderwoman and She-Hulk...

This is how superheroes say "hello!"

Anyway, the mandatory greeting smackdown out of the way, it turns out that all three of them are after the same gang for whatever reason... but instead of getting SHIELD to raid the place or calling for back up or anything like that... they go UNDERCOVER! Exciting, eh? No, not really but here's something you may enjoy...

Oops , looks like the girls got some 'splaining to do...

You have to feel bad for Spiderwoman - Jen Hulks out, Ms. Marvel has her nifty costume change and Jessica is stuck pulling on her gloves...

So... there you go, better late than never, the highlights from the 30th anniversary of She-Hulk. All-in-all, not really that exciting. Sure, it's nice to get another title just for She-Hulk and PAD's treatment was certainly about right but just not that special...

But I said breast expansion! And I always deliver! Probably...

First of all it's hard to explain this one... just as well you can watch it! Maybe just best to say a burlesque act with breast expansion?

Secondly here's a little bit of anime stuff. No, I've no idea what's going on - why the girl is like a pretty anime female version of Two Face, why she is enlarging the breasts of a bound catgirl or... just anything but hey, it's anime - most of the time the motivations of characters are a mystery to me.

And on that note, sayonara suckers!
