Girl Comics #[nn]

A lively Amanda Conner cover sets the tone for this 2010 Marvel anthology, staging what looks like a spirited arm-wrestling match between Iron Man (helmet off, cash spilling from his hand) and She-Hulk, with Captain America, Spider-Man dangling upside down, and a crowd of Marvel heroes cheering them on. The playful energy and sharp characterization are exactly what you'd hope for from Conner, whose linework here is as expressive and fun as ever. At $19.99, this oversized collection wears its enthusiasm right on its sleeve — or rather, right on this wonderfully chaotic cover.
