Amazing Spiderman -- Volume 1

Spiderman is BAAAACK. Didn't know he left, but apparently (says my coworker prior to me reading this), Doctor Octopus switched his brain with Peter Parker's brain because he believed he could be a better Spiderman than Peter.

This volume starts off with the switch back, so Peter is back in his own head and realizes everything the Doc has done as Peter, which is actually a lot. He got a ton of degrees and started his own factory making science experiments with a ton of people and they are working closely with Spiderman, making uniforms and equipment for him. Peter also has a girlfriend now that he has to break up with because it is his coworker and he realizes that Maria really was interested in Doctor Octopus.

The city didn't like the Doctor's take on Spiderman's 'friendly neighborhood attitude', so Peter must now win back the approval of the city and repatch his friendship with Black Cat.

We are also introduced to Silk, a girl who got bit by the same spider as PETER DID 10 YEARS AGO, EXCEPT SHE WAS KEPT IN A ROOM THIS WHOLE TIME AND NOW THANKS TO PETER SHE IS FREEEEEEE.

She-Hulk - Volume 1

This volume of She-Hulk assumes that you know the back story of Jennifer Walters, so I talked with my coworker prior to reading this and found out that she is the cousin of Bruce Banner, who gave her a blood transfusion when she was injured really bad and that caused her to have a milder version of what Bruce has, causing her to be SHE HULK. It seems based on the art in this story, that she is green 100% of the time and can use her strength and healing powers whenever she wants, so its pretty much like she is a bad ass woman who if she wants to show her strength, like for example, splitting a table in half with just one finger, she can. But she can control her powers, so she is able to be a lawyer to regular joes and also superheros as well!

The storyline for this volume is cool - She finds an old case file hidden in the back of her folders, realizes that she and a bunch of other superheros and villians are all being sued for something, and doesn't remember what the case is about. When she goes to talk to these people about the case, finds that there has been some sort of sorcery attached to it. The case is a trigger word and causes anyone that talks about the case that is involved to lose their minds and try and kill whoever is talking to them about it!! Crazy. And cool. She-Hulk is really awesome, independent, strong and speaks up for herself and those that need her (intelligence OR powers!)
