The Sensational She-Hulk # 3, published by Marvel Comics in July 1989, is titled "Atomic Lounge!" and continues John Byrne's famously meta-fictional run, which features Jennifer Walters breaking the fourth wall and directly interacting with the reader and her creator. 

The issue is primarily a comedic adventure where She-Hulk goes on a date, but it is interrupted by a bizarre, retro-themed super-villain. 

  • Date Night: Jennifer Walters (in her She-Hulk form) is out on a date with her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Wyatt Wingfoot.
  • Fourth Wall Shenanigans: Throughout the date, Jennifer frequently breaks the fourth wall, addressing the audience directly, referencing the comic format, and commenting on the plot.
  • The Villain: The villain is the "Atomic Man," a character who looks like he stepped right out of a 1950s B-movie or advertisement. He's more ridiculous than threatening and is causing minor chaos around the city.
  • The Fight: She-Hulk easily dispatches the Atomic Man in a lighthearted action sequence.
  • The Twist: The main gag of the issue is that the entire story is being read by the Impossible Man, an alien with reality-warping powers, who finds the story extremely entertaining and is effectively controlling the narrative as the "reader". He even appears in the comic panels with his own "I read She-Hulk" T-shirt.
