She-Hulk might be coming to an end, but that isn't keeping Mariko Tamaki and Jahnoy Lindsay from doing some of their finest work. Read Full Review
Tamaki’s Jen finally finds come closure with a feel good ending. The reveal of the classic green She-Hulk feels great. Lindsay channeling some Byrne Shulkie with big, luscious, green hair helps too. It might have felt rushed, finding closure for all three issues at once. In the end, it still felt like Jen deserved this closure. I can’t wait to see how Tamaki ends her run with next month’s issue.

Sometimes, artist Jahnoy Lindsay does really good, detailed work and other panels just look unfinished. The reappearance of the green She-Hulk breaking through is very well done and captures some of what I've enjoyed so much about Russell Dauterman's work on The Mighty Thor, another female-led comic that is being cancelled. The final pages of the issue, however, have some odd proportional choices and Jen's more cartoonish face just doesn't work as well with her larger, green-skinned form. Read Full Review
She Hulk #162 has a huge tonal problem. It doesn't know if it wants to focus on the funny, breaking the fourth wall character from the 80's or the series' angsty character from Mariko Tamaki's Hulk run. Read Full Review
Jen's therapist doses her with some sort of metafiction-boosting drug, allowing her to enter her own subconscious and face her biggest fears: an uncontrollable Hulk, death at Thanos's hands, and outliving her cousin Bruce. It's not a total cure, but we get proper green She-Hulk out of the deal.
The script has tons of potential, but it's such a wildly imaginative and visual story that it could not succeed without strong art. That is the absolute opposite of what it gets. These visuals are incompetent.
