FF #42 Reveals How She-Hulk Was Responsible For The Reckoning War

In Fantastic Four's Reckoning War, She-Hulk, fighting alongside Jack Of Hearts, is looking at her own history and why, as prophesied back in 2005, she is responsible for the entire Reckoning War from happening.

That this was a bad thing. That this was all She-Hulk's fault, and emanated from something she had done in the first year that Dan Slott wrote her. And today, She-Hulk realises what it was. Fantastic Four #42 gives her the answer to Life, The Universe And Everything and it is not one she is particularly minded to learn…

Later, the Recluses involved themselves in She-Hulk's life, still worried about the threat she might cause them.

And now we have another detail of that, She-Hulk's judgements in court having already happened when the prophesises were delivered. The Reckoning War was caused by something she had already done, sat trial against the Watchers.

And the Reckoning War, it seems, could not have started without that decision… (And Tom, wasn't it 2004, not 2005?)
