You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff
Mar 03, 2022Though the story works perfectly well for anyone not extensively familiar with the character's history. Rowell adds in layers of storytelling that reward those of us who have been hanging out with Jen since she first left California in the '80s. It's particularly nice to see her back in the place that was originally rendered by John Byrne when she moved into the place back in 1989. Read Full Review

Mar 03, 2022THE DISPATCHFollowing the surprise that was SHE-HULK #1, I couldnt help but be excited for issue two, especially after the cliffhanger with Jack of Hearts. Well readers, SHE-HULK #2 shifts the focus from the gamma green bombshell directly towards Jack and catches readers up on his whereabouts since his last encounter. Now, what I absolutely love about this issue is that Jack is not a well-known character or fan favorite to many mainstream MARVEL movie and TV peeps. Read Full Review

Comic Watch - B. Radtz
Mar 03, 2022Cons: its just too slow. Rowells great at the character beats, and Antnios art is sublime, but nothing memorable really happened. It was kinda disappointing after that amazing first issue. Read Full Review

Impulse Gamer - Tim Chuma
Mar 06, 2022I would recommend this one again if you are a fan of the character and it is not too bad to pick it up here since they are still establishing the main plot at this point in the story. Read Full Review

Weird Science Marvel Comics - mrgabehernandez
Mar 02, 2022Final ThoughtsShe-Hulk #2 spends nearly the entire issue (re)introducing readers to Jack of Hearts through his history and how he feels right now, admittedly with a flawed memory of recent days. The art is serviceable, but there's no story (yet) to speak of. Read Full Review

Major Spoilers - Matthew Peterson
Mar 08, 2022She-Hulk welcomes an old friend, and while it's mostly conversation, it's still a fine read with well-done art. Also: That last page surprise got me. Read Full Review

Henchman-4-Hire - Sean Ian Mills
Mar 05, 2022Most of the momentum from the first issue is bled dry when this issue spends almost its entire time establishing a very boring mystery. We already know that Jack of Hearts is back under mysterious circumstances. We don't need an entire issue, especially not a second issue, that just heavily underlines the "mysterious circumstances" part. Read Full Review

This was a very strong second issue. I was not super impressed by #1 but this was a strong follow up. The art and narrative both flowed really well.

SO MANY QUESTIONS. I can see if readers who don't know JACK OF HEARTS or his history will find this issue lacking a lot of emotional weight and a lot of information to be engaged. Comics are weird like that, as I am familiar with this little character's history throughout the damned decades; this was a lot of fun. Rowell continues to shine by giving a voice to characters that feel so natural and true to their character and advancing them in emotionally engaging ways. This is something she did beautifully in Runaways. I have no idea where this is going but Rowell at least appeared to have the grace (so far) to not mine Jack of Heart's personal traumatic and exploitative stunt during Disassembled opting out instead to focus by giving t more

Very sweet, but very slow. Looks like this volume is going to read better in trades than month-by-month. I appreciate the thorough and heartfelt portrait of Jack of Hearts and the changes he's going through. But I also recognize it's an anchor on the story, holding us fast at the first plot point. At least the individual story beats are fun on their own, despite not adding up to much yet. The art's nice and stylish, but there's room for more detail and polish. I do love the facial expressions -- and Jen's gravity-defying ponytail.

Another pretty good issue at the beginning of this run. Jack's recap gave this issue a slow start, but things picked up after that when Jack finally started drinking and eating after not doing so since "Bush was President." Jen's conversation with him as done well, also, and I enjoyed seeing her make her way to work and arrive there with her coffee. The final pages sets up an intriguing new villain for the future as well. Good stuff.

This was fine, but not on par with the first issue. I think I might have enjoyed it more if I was familiar with King of Hearts beyond "old Avengers character that I think Bendis might have killed 20 years ago maybe"

Nothing really happens in this issue. I enjoy the dialogue and the slice of life aspect to the comic. The art is really good.
