Good fun on the whole, though that Lady Liberators issue was pretty pointless.

Jen gets mad.
This volume we get to see Jen deal with the bomber. But more so we get to see her past events that led her from being kicked out of being a lawyer. It's quickly paced, some really good moments in jail with another character, and a funny last issue with Hercules. I will say it feels a bit fillish, and nothing major changes, but it somehow stays entertaining throughout. A 3.5 out of 5. I'll bump it to a 4 because I had fun reading it.

We finally learn how Shulkie went from lawyer to bounty hunter, and it's kind of annoying. I never appreciate when main characters are manipulated by bad guys, and it's not only irritating but out of character based on what has been established. There's an attempt at justification for why she reacted this way this time, but it's sort of a hand-wave to get to the plot instead of an exploration of what happened. And then the villain ends up in a place where he can start hurting a minor character who has already been hurt a lot by other people, and it's not comforting or hopeful.
The one-shot at the end has something to do with basically all of the non-Avenger, non-mutant (except Storm) women of Marvel (...I think? I'd never heard of most of them) and it's another example of women being manipulated. Le sigh.

The story of how Jen Walters got disbarred was interesting and Jazinga also was great, I just wish the "sexual pinball" thing would go away. I get that She-Hulk was betrayed by the people she trusts most and is evaluating her choices, but I wish the sex positive aspect of her that I loved in the Dan Slott run were still here. I know I'm nitpicking, but I still like this volume and I'm somewhat pacified by the ending **whink!**

Grabbed Vol. 7 at the library when I saw it, so I'm reading it out of order. It's my first introduction to She-Hulk, and I thought it was good. Not dark at all and pretty funny! It was a quick fun read that didn't seem to take itself too seriously. I'm going to try to check out more of these when I get a chance!

This book feels like it's treading water.
She-Hulk gets arrested (again), spends time in the Midwest (still), and constantly uses the term "sexual pinball" to describe her relationships. Peter David can write some good jokes, and the story of how She-Hulk stopped being a lawyer is interesting, but this book's stopped being innovative and engaging. The weird "Cosmic Collision" story at the end is tacked on, confusing, and looks like a sign of storylines to come.

The book I read certainly didn't match the description on Goodreads. In any case, the main story was pretty good. She-Hulk is still a bounty hunter and she's dealing with a manifestation of a Celtic diety named Bran. And to a lesser degree with Hercules. Jazinga is also in this one and is just awesome. The back of story concerns some sort of celestial entity archetype named Enmity as well as the Collector and a host of female superhero who appear for no real good reason. And other than a bit with Valkyrie and a dying soldier, it's just stupid. So I guess these two just average out.

3/10:
This collection tells two pretty stupid stories regarding She-Hulk: how she became a bounty hunter and a summoning of the Lady Liberators by The Collector. There’s something so pitiful about these enemies of She-Hulk being the cause of her changing attitude and actions, instead of having some genuine character growth.
You can 100% see the decline in this run as the writing shifts from David Slott to Peter David. The former is a legend of the craft while the latter is a hack who can’t wit its to save his life. And I also need to point out that the art in this run keeps making She-Hulk’s boobs bigger and bigger and it’s so freaking irritating. Be consistent in her character’s art!

So beautiful covers.
The part of She-Hulk from her own comic was brilliant. Witty and funny, just like Peter David does it.
But why he also did the overwhelmingly boring one-shot that is also enlcosed here. Brought points down for this collection about 50%
But the covers are so beautiful.

The stories aren't very structured and the crossovers break the rythm even more. The dialogue and events are still funny, but not enough to keep me reading. You have to be a true fan to keep going.
Jen and Jaz are on the trail of bomber Bran who showed off for Jen a while back and then disappeared. He is attending a football game as Arthur Moore's bodyguard. It turns out that Bran has superstrength and Moore is the guy that got Jen disbarred. The latter has a restraining order against her, so he demands she be arrested.
Jen gets bailed out of prison to help with a now-gigantic Bran Murphy who is destroying the city while locked in battle with Hercules.
Jen and Jaz's next bounty hunt gets interrupted by a bulky female named Unum who uses Negative energy against them. They get transported to a house where several other heroes are already present. Taneleer Tivan the Elder collector is their captor. He also has many other female warriors imprisoned.

This was average I guess. The big story with what happened to Jen not being a lawyer and explaining her status quo was okay and probably something to do with this villain "Dark art", lame name, could have been better but I guess its something to do with some Celtic god? Not sure what the point of it was, but anyways it gives Shulkie and Hercules a chance to team up and defeat the foe and also something with Hercules being a bit of a changed man or so.
The next big story is Cosmic collision where she and her team of "Lady liberators" have to fight against some "Enmity" but the story behind the origin of the villain is intriguing and also has Collector in it, which I like. The story managed to show that Jen doesn't defeat her villain with her fists but by talking and well.. common sense. Aka showing her competent lawyer side and I'd give this story for highlighting that really well.
So yeah good average one-time read.

Alright, I see what you're doing Mr. David. These were some really strong issues that remind me why I love the complexities of the She-Hulk character. I found this story arc riveting and alluring. The scenery of a courtroom continues to be one of my favorite settings within Marvel Comics. It's incredibly refreshing and this continues to be one of my favorite titles from Marvel that I've read in a LONG time.

This was a lot better than Vol. 6. Peter David gave us a tidy flashback to explain what happened to Jen's career imploding after she was manipulated by a villain. It tied up the storyline nicely. The art was an improvement, too.

Pretty drastic change of tone with the Lady Liberators issue, which didn't serve much purpose to the main story and mostly confusing. I would've prefered an entire volume of Lady Liberator cosmic adventures, because honestly I don't find the bounty hunter story arc all that fun or interesting.

The second half of the book looses a lot of steem

I’m not crazy about the direction of the story, but still Jen with bangs is cute so 🤷♂️

I loved Jen and J's relationship and seeing Jen become a bounty hunter!
TW for violence, imprisonment, mentions of people trying to sell drugs to children, possession of a person, mind control.

Shulkie teams up with Hercules to take on a Celtic god gone rogue. Expect more bounty hunter action and the big reveal behind She-Hulk's career change.

wow cosmic collection got so deep but i'm sooo sleepy so it didn't really hit me

Overall, really great volume, a lot less of the humor I had come to love from Dan Slott, but still a really great story. We finally get to see how Walters got disbarred!
The last issue seems a little random but we get the ‘Lady Liberators’ and the women of the ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ which is really fun!
Also the art in this one was way better than the last volume!

Forgettable superhero adventuring. References to lots of stories I've not read didn't make it any stronger.

Good gosh do I love Shulkie. She's funny and irreverent and smart and not as prone to "strong female character" poses as many other comic heroines.
I'm sad I only have two volumes left.
