It's been a long time, but Gorilla-Man was pointed out as a traitor way back when he was first introduced in the book. Aaron should have referenced it a bit more
WORLD WAR SHE-HULK!
After the shocking events of "Enter the Phoenix," the Earth has become more fractured and volatile than ever, especially for the Avengers. Once She-Hulk is declared a global menace, Russia's mightiest heroes, the Winter Guard, are tasked with bringing Jen to justice, to face a fate no Hulk could hope to endure.
Rated T+
Avengers #46 shows promise for a She-Hulk that has been itching for a change for some time. The stars of the issue, however, are the Winter Guard, who are an impressive supervillain team that shows off some impressive powers and personalities. Read Full Review
Garron delivers some great art throughout the issue. There are not only well designed and detailed character moments, but also great action and scale throughout. Read Full Review
After a rocky few arcs Jason Aaron seems to be back on track. His handling of the Winter Guard here shows that hes more comfortable with the standard superhero fare as opposed than topics that are more of a cosmic nature. Long simmering plots come to a head in this issue, as the countdown to fifty commences. Hopefully this team will be able to keep up this momentum. Read Full Review
Avengers #46 is a quick first part for World War She-Hulk as it shows just how the jade heroine and the Avengers get into this new crisis. The comic also has some payoff for a storyline set up issues ago with a specific character. It also pulls double duty in establishing the new additions to the Avengers team from Jason Aaron's recent Heroes Reborn event. Nothing exciting really happens yet as the Winter Guard finally make their move against the Avengers, and we see the beginnings of what's to come for She-Hulk. Read Full Review
Soon we're going to need some answers, and the nature of those answers will go a long way in figuring out just how good this initial issue was, but just based on what's here, it's a solid start. Read Full Review
A step in the right direction after the last few stories
Maybe I am just in a good mood this week but, this book was solid. I didnt get the sense of disdain for certain parts like I have with other issues in this run. I think I am excited to see what happens but, not getting my hopes up.
Framed by flash-forwards that reveal the Red Widow's sinister plans, this issue shows how the Winter Guard snatched She-Hulk out of Avengers Mountain. It's a nice clean heist story. The pace is brisk, the art is outstanding. It succeeds through its simplicity. And yet, not for the first time in the volume, the key to making a good comic turns out to be keeping the Avengers out of the driver's seat.
Not an amazing issue, but still beats the Phoenix shit.
This felt a little awkward going in after Heroes Reborn. Plus the motivations feel like they happen out of nowhere for Gorilla-Man. I just hope Starbrand and Phoenix get more focus this time around.
You know what.... I might drop this and bendis justice league. This story has bland art and dialogue and she hulk turns into red hulk and gets captured by red guardian.
Relatively better issue for this run
