The thing is... Given your reviews, if you love (masterpieces-like) everything DC does and don't like any Marvel title, why keep reading Marvel and rating them? Only to make sure DC gets better ratings?
That's the Hulk we've waited 9 months for? Nothing like the fantastic covers. Awful. Just awful.
DARKNESS DESCENDS...AND THE BEAST RISES!

This series has been slow paced, to say the least, and I've been largely okay with that, but it is kind of grating here, where the first half of the book is a gratuitous flashback and the cover offers more than the interior delivers. It looks like we'll see Jen in Hulk form next issue, but on this one, I'm a bit annoyed by the delay.
A HULK UNLEASHED!
• Ever since the tragic events of CIVIL WAR II, JENNIFER WALTERS has done everything she can to avoid transforming into her heroic other form.

When your greatest ally betrays you and turns the entire world upside down, you'd expect the situation to be most dire as innocent lives are put at stake, but that doesn't seem to be the case here since the so-called heroes didn't even take it seriously.

If this comic wasn't so expensive, I'd use it to wipe my ass next time I run out of toilet paper.

I wish there were a zero rating I could use for this atrocity of a hackneyed story. Not only are we tired of hero vs hero stories, the story of a controlled Captain America has been done before, not to mentioned the classic King Superman story among other stories revolving around the same concept of a hero gone totalitarian.

I only review things I feel strongly about. I care about the Marvel universe just as much as I care about the DC one and I want them both to give me stories that move me. Too bad that in the last couple of years Marvel has only been "moving me" negatively. When they return to form, as before Secret Wars, then you'll see me positively reviewing the things I care about. For me, this is not a DC vs Marvel thing at all.
except at least Marvel are taking some risks, Cap isn't totally totalitarian....what makes this more impactful is Cap is willing to work together as council with villains he's vowed to stop before. The matters that the story itself deals with cap at the center are not only political but also on a social level. At times you have to ask if what Cap is doing is actually better for humanity and how wrong is he?

There's nothing wrong with producing artistic and thought-provoking work that foils expectations. But deliberately raising false expectations is problematic. This is essentially a documentary about the plight of vanishing wildlife habitats in Africa that has a gorilla shooting laser beams out of its eyes on every cover.

Unfortunately nothing really happens. The issue doesn't deliver upon the series' promises. A great cover though - but it completely misrepresents this issues content and tone. Awful.
• Jen's life is finally settling into a rhythm: She wakes up, goes to work, helps her new clients, goes home, watches a cooking video, and goes to sleep.
• But when a murder rocks the life of one of her newest clients, how will Jen react? Is there more to the situation than just Jen Walters, lawyer, can handle?

Wanted to like this series, but... it's insufferably boring. Also, 'A HULK UNLEASED' ????? (all caps by Marvel). There's no Hulk that's actually seen in this issue! Regardless of story or character development - things critics like about this snooze-fest, they're overlooking the fact that... teasing a title character, yes, that's ok, it's fun, we get ... but it's NOT ok to be LIED TO by Marvel.

Oops! Here's my corrected text: ... teasing a title character, yes, that's ok, it's fun, we get it ... but it's NOT ok to be LIED TO by Marvel. Shame on them! And shame on the writer for not speaking out about Marvel's false marketing of her story!

A fascinating character study on the road to recovering from trauma, Jen's story continues to burn slowly into what will (hopefully) be an intense and worthwhile conclusion to this first arc. The lack of Hulking in a Hulk book is disappointing, but the deep character work and unique tone is the meat to this comic.

Hope - that's what all the critics who like this series seem to have about the next issue. Ugh.
Who thought it would be a good idea to launch a She Hulk comic with no She Hulk in the book until issue 6? Did Marvel want this book to fail? What a waste of time!

An incredible disappointment. I'll read every issue, but, at this point, who gives a crap about #6. We'd be fools to get our hopes up about it.
Seems like everybody involved in creating this issue had other more important things to do. Mailed in. Story could have been told in half the pages.

It's called Unleashed, and look at the cover. And then read Marvel's tease. There's no new Hulk in this issue, or in the entire series! Marvel's marketing 100% lied. This is an irreparable breach of trust between Marvel and us readers. Hugely disappointing!

While it looks like the She-Hulk might finally appear next issue, the storyline is so decompressed its non existent. The page is littered with clumsy thought boxes. Even competent art can't save this series.
