Loved Burgess Meredith's Penguin. Possibly my favorite comic book villain in another medium.

Wednesday, 4/14 toss-up: if JB were to return to She-Hulk today, would you prefer the 4th wall humor book he did before, or a more traditional approach?

(bonus: Either way, who would the first villain be?)

The 4th wall, but sparingly.

Bonus: go old school "Tribbitites"

I think if there were ever to be a second JB run on She-Hulk I would like to see a more traditional run.

Fifth Wall. Where She-Hulk addresses not the reader, but the reader's parents. Who, respectively, should also be the first villain.

More traditional approach.

I liked the fourth wall at the time -- there were more than a few genuinely funny and inventive moments -- but I thought it wore a little thin after a while.

Another problem was that JB almost constantly had to try and up the ante. I thought the apotheosis of this was the issue with She-Hulk ripping through the comic book price guide, which was wildly inventive, irreverent and hilarious....and hard to top.

Hey, somebody needs to show 'em how to do it right.

My vote is for traditional.
