Marvel Super Heroes #5 (She-Hulk)

Issue(s): Marvel Super Heroes #5 (She-Hulk story only)
Cover Date: Apr 91 / Spring 91
Title: "Treasure"
Credits:

Review/plot:
I don't know what this story is. It starts off with a weird stunt that She-Hulk and Wyatt Wingfoot perform.

No idea what that was supposed to be. Then they see a sea serpent that is threatening a boat, but it turns out to be because the people on the boat are stealing its eggs.

So She-Hulk returns the eggs. She's able to get close to the nest by disguising herself as seaweed.

*shrug*

One thing to note is that Assistant Editor Barry Dutter got his "start" in comics by repeatedly writing in to every publication he could think of to talk about how much he hated She-Hulk (see the comments here). I'm sure he wasn't too involved in the story here but i guess he wasn't upset to see She-Hulk not depicted well.

Quality Rating: C-

Historical Significance Rating: 1

Chronological Placement Considerations: My biggest concern was this stepping on the toes of Jen and Wyatt's relationship with regards to She-Hulk's regular series, since Wyatt doesn't appear in that book until She-Hulk #36. The MCP do push this back in publication time, but not before She-Hulk: Ceremony (which is Wyatt's prior appearance by publication date). So it doesn't seem like the pushback had anything to do with their relationship, but in any event i'm following the MCP.

Other stories from this issue: Thor, Thing, Speedball, Dr. Strange.

Wow. Seems like that one was phoned-in. Terrible.
