She-Hulk reaches the landmark 175th issue! ? Not only does She-Hulk find herself face-to-face with the brand-new villain, Scoundrel, but she also puts her whole law practice in danger! ? All this, plus bonus stories that will have people talking!
Rated T+
There is SOME sense of overlap between issues #12 and #11, but Rowells approach to the serial of Jens life keeps the events from being annoyingly repetitious. The series is as evenly-balanced as Jens life, making repetition seem tantalizingly natural. Rowell makes Jen...and She-Hulk feel deeply relatable in spite of all that shes been through and all that shes capable of. Rowells writing remains remarkably impressive in light of this.

She-Hulk #12 is a celebration of everything that makes She-Hulk the amazing character she is, and reinforces that this series is giving us the best take on the character we have had in modern era comics. Read Full Review
The character work, the humor, the sheer humanity of this comic is such a joy to read. The book club back-up feature in this issue may be my favorite comic book scene of the entire year. It's a marvelous showcase of Rainbow Rowell's exquisite character writing. Read Full Review
Overall the dialogue in this issue is as consistently strong as its been throughout Rowells run on She-Hulk and I love seeing Andres Genolet have fun drawing the heroes and villains of every stature that make their way into Jens life. This book continues to work and Jen Bartels consistently phenomenal pin-up style covers are just icing on the cake. Read Full Review
Writer Rainbow Rowell and a team of talented artists have made She-Hulk one of the most rewarding, relaxing reads at Marvel Comics today and mastered a pace that supports romantic, professional, and villainous vibes alike. I, for one, am very excited for the series' second year. Read Full Review
She-Hulk #12 is a head-scratcher of an issue. The plot about a superpowered thief started last issue takes a backseat to pointless scenes about Jen's work life, her romantic life, and an overlong backup story about hosting a book club. This title is the very definition of directionless. Read Full Review

The main strip is nearly as light as the backup strip, but there's plenty of good cheer in both of them. Both artists are delightful, too.
The romantic plot-icebergs ominously drift closer and closer--Jen obviously has problems with Jack and she's obviously interested in Mr. Hunky Mystery Burglar. I can be patient waiting for the crash as long as the day-to-day stuff along the way is this nice.
The main story here was good, but it did feel like a very sudden end to make room for the second story (Which I might have actually liked more than the main story). For me, the second story resonated more and I found the art nicer than the previous story (although the art there wasn't bad by any means). Hopefully things pick up with Issue 13, as this has been one of my favorite runs currently.
Not my favorite issue of this series — the first story is pretty slight, and the second is mostly filler
