She-Hulk #23

Peter David's She-Hulk #23 is second-lowest seller ever

The November sales figures are out and the news isn't good for She-Hulk fans. Peter David's second issue on the comic is the second-worst seller in the history of the book, with fewer than 25,000 copies sold in November, according to ICV2.com.

The only issue with lower sales was She-Hulk #14, which was also the only issue not to show She-Hulk or Jen Walters on the cover. (#14 instead featured mute, faceless supporting character "Awesome Andy" making preparations to commit suicide.)

Some of the critics aren't too pleased with Peter David's second issue, either. I can't pass judgment yet, seeing as I'm on the road for Turkey Day and wasn't able to pick up my comics box before leaving town.

Electric Goldfish points the way to a preview I'd missed.

Update: OK, having read it, I can say that I liked it pretty well. Shawn Moll's art is delightful, and I'm willing to give Peter David time to get the story arc going. As several critics have suggested, PAD may have made a mistake going right into an extended story arc with such a significant change of cast and setting. We'll see where PAD's going with the storyline as things proceed.

Update 2: Comics Fondle liked She-Hulk #23 less than I did.

A nice, simple mission for She-Hulk has gone horribly wrong as, deafened and reeling, she finds herself facing the combined might of the Absorbing Man and Titania.
