John Byrne art with the West Coast Avengers and She-Hulk. She would have made a great member of the team.
She-Hulk is walking past the team in a swimsuit and holding a towel over her shoulder.
HAWKEYE: SHE-HULK... YOU'VE COME TO JOIN THE WEST COAST AVENGERS?
SHE-HULK: NAH… I JUST CAME TO USE THE BEACH!
