What they got right: Paul seems to be getting his form back after that recent dismal showing in Marvel Adventures: The Avengers #37 last month. The characters are perfectly portrayed, especially his Spider-Man (making me once again looking forward to his run on Spidey's own MA title). It's a story that really showcases what he can do with the characters; double for Tigra, who often gets the short end by the main line's writers. Speaking of getting ol' webhead right, Marcelo Dichiara does a fantastic job drawing him, although the "web lines" on his costume disappear entirely during far shots.

What they got wrong: The aforementioned disappearing web lines. It really pulls you away from the story when they're gone one panel and back the next time you see him. Marcelo's She-Hulk is passable, but Tigra looks too much like She-Hulk in the face. Also, while Spidey is in his costume the whole time, Every fight they get in sees She-Hulk in less clothing. First she loses her jacket, then the rest of the outfit. Luckily she has her usual fighting outfit on underneath, since this is a kids-targeted comic. Speaking of which, at what point does Tigra find time to change to her fight suit? There doesn't seem to be enough time passing.

Recommendation: A fun comic just way Tobin usually hits it out of the ballpark. It's still tame by Tobin's standard, but that's like saying a heavy thunderstorm is tame compared to Hurricane Katrina.
