When I saw that Marvel was releasing both The She-Hulk Diaries
and Rogue Touch
I was sold by just looking at the covers! But as you know, you can't always judge a book by its cover! So now I give you the good, the bad and the ugly!

She Hulk and Jennifer Walters share the same body. Walters is a high powered attorney. She Hulk is a crime fighting party girl. Together they have one crazy life.
I am always a sucker for a love story and falling in love with band members! This book was a quick beach read for me during my vacation this summer. I found that it kept my interest and kept me coming back for more. There were some cheesy parts, but I didn't mind since this was my first introduction to She Hulk. Her cousin Bruce makes a few appearances which is nice because he is my favorite super hero! Overall, I wouldn't read it again, but I did enjoy it and would recommend it!
She Hulk: 3/5 stars
The X-men movies were some of the 1st comic book movies I ever saw so I was super excited to read up on the origin story of Rogue.
Rogue Touch
follows Rogue on the run from the law with alien Touch. I found it very hard to get into this one, unlike She Hulk. It never really grabbed my attention and made me WANT to read it. It really felt like a young adult, first love story, whiney, sappy thing. I guess I am just getting to old for the teenage romance stories. When I almost stopped reading the book, is when it finally got interesting. The second half is actually quite good and if it was all like that I might have enjoyed it more. That ended up redeeming it a bit for me, but not much as for me to recommend it to you all.

If you would like to discuss the two books reviewed today, please comment down below! I would love to hear what you all thought of them!
I HATED the she hulk diaries so much, but I am a massive shulkie fan. You should pickup Dan Slotts run on she hulk. Single green female-trade 1 is amazing and a much better representation of my fave lady.
ReplyDeleteI knew you would have something to say about this!! :-D Thank you so much for the recommendation because I do love her as a character and would love to see more depth! xo
DeleteI LOVE She-Hulk. Definitely my favorite superhero. If you've not already, pick up the 80s series, The Sensational She-Hulk. Totally hilarious and some really great stories to boot.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the recommendation! I can't read more about She Hulk she is a great personality!!
DeleteWas *really* disappointed with Rogue Touch, as I love Rogue and wanted it to be good. It's worse than even bad YA romances (and I love YA so it takes a lot for me to hate one). I have She-Hulk in my TBR list so glad to hear it's the better of the two!
ReplyDeleteYES! Thank you Jen for your comment...totally thought it could have gone better! Let me know what you think about She Hulk! xo
Deletedo u know any free sites online where i can get free marve ahnd kick ass comics
ReplyDeleteI do not sorry! :(
DeleteI'm reading She-Hulk right now (actually, Nerd Burger's copy) and I'm kind of enjoying it when I turn my brain off, but I tend to be REALLY picky with novels. Sad to hear the Rogue book isn't even that fun.
ReplyDeleteHope you like it more than her :) Let me know what you think! It is a fun non-thinking book :)
