Also regardless of this being an all-female book, it’s still full of brainless punching scenes - sisters fighting sisters! Brilliant nuanced takes on the characters. The story is bollocks: a shark attacks, portals appear, a cosmic being called Singularity’s flying around, it’s all part of some ridiculously abstract plan by the most obvious villain, not that any of it makes a lick of difference in the long run anyway.
Stuff is going on - what’s gonna happen next? Fart. They do it right, not like dumb men! Then a series of disasters happen and She-Hulk’s leadership is challenged. Welcome to feminist paradise Arcadia on Battleworld, policed by A-Force, an all-female superhero team led by She-Hulk. Willow Wilson’s only quality work is on Ms Marvel - first that Vixen crap at DC, now “A-Force”, a ‘90s-sounding lame superhero team? Though I suppose she only co-wrote this so some of the blame goes to Marguerite Bennett. I can’t do better than middle-of-the-road on something designed to be an alternate worlds (non-canonical) story.
If she would have focused on fewer heroes, she would have more adequately given characterization which in turn would have strengthened her plot. As a comic book fanboy, I love what was attempted, but the story was too convoluted for what the writer was trying to do. Theoretically, sounds fun, but there were way too many heroes to keep track of ala Legion of Superheroes, and most were really just set design. There is a little part of Battleworld called Arcadia in which She-Hulk is the Baroness and she leads the A-Force, an amalgamation of Earth’s Mightiest Female Heroes - the lady Avengers, if you will. The A-Force is yet another alternate reality twist on the regular Marvel Universe where this is an alternate Earth called Battleworld apparently under the guardianship of Doctor Doom who is considered a God. This is a comic book series collected and curated in trade paperback format.
