Spidey Super-Stories #50

Spidey Saturday takes us back to the early 80s and the time that Jennifer Walters defended the Rhino in court against Foggy Nelson (who had some excellent legal strategy by the way). Eventually the Rhino grows weary of court and escapes (while dropping puns) leading both Spider-Man and She-Hulk to track him down (although for awhile She-Hulk seems determined to protect her client before realizing she’s on the wrong side and teams-up with Spider-Man to end his rampage and return him to court).

White Widow #3 continues the format of the series so far with a flashback to White Widow‘s interaction with a well-known Marvel hero followed by Yelena investigating trouble in her new home. The flashback from this issue involves Yelena getting into it with She-Hulk who Yelena attempts to convince that assassination is pretty cool.

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law – Episode 8

  • Title: She-Hulk: Attorney at Law – Ribbit and Rip It

Well, at least the Daredevil scenes were fun. Sandwiched between the show’s mediocre sitcom writing about a super-hero lawyer who dosen’t do much super-heroing or lawyering, the meat of the episode offers the return of Charlie Cox both in and out of costume as Matt Murdock and Daredevil. Also, points for getting the yellow version of Daredevil on screen (even if the reason for the change in costume is never addressed). For a series fumbling around the idea of female empowerment, there is some irony in the idea that it’s a man who gets Jennifer Walters (Tatiana Maslany) back into the courtroom (as a lawyer and not a defendant) and into her super-hero costume for the first time.

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law – Episode 5

We don’t get any super-heroing here, and although Jennifer Walters (Tatiana Maslany) goes back to court it’s as a defendant rather than a lawyer. Our lead is incredibly passive throughout the episode except for one brainstorm where she comes up with a plan that utterly embarrassing herself in court (which, to be honest, isn’t really all that embarrassing) to win the case and control of the name She-Hulk from Titania (Jameela Jamil). The only other subplot are generic jokes of men being stupid and She-Hulk being dragged to get a new wardrobe she doesn’t really want which doesn’t even pay-off on-screen in the episode other than a tease for the eventual introduction of another character.

Seeming to find its niche in exploring quirky little adventures marginally tied to current or past events in the MCU, the fourth episode of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law returns Wong (Benedict Wong) who needs some legal help from Jennifer Walters (Tatiana Maslany) in preventing a cut-rate magician from spicing up his lounge act with actual magic from Kamar-Taj. It turns out he’ll also need some super-hero help with the magician accidentally unleashes a horde of demons into the Earth.
