Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Single Green Female, outgoing, intelligent, great sense of humor. Enjoys clubbing, dishing with gal-pals and saving the universe. Ready to put old issues behind and make a fresh start. Contact Jen W. at Avengers Mansion. That's right...everyone's favorite Jade Giantess, She-Hulk, has returned for tons of fun, both on and off the field of battle! Collecting SHE-HULK #1-6.

Review:

"Jennifer Walters, She-Hulk's civilian identity, is hired by a law firm to work on cases dealing with super-powered beings. There's a fairly silly bit where research is conducted by looking at old comic books rather than old case law, but dealing with the legal ramifications of a super-powered world gives the Marvel Universe just a little more richness. Jennifer's first case involves a man accidentally given super-powers in an industrial accident. His normal life has been ruined, and he sues the company-but has a hard time convincing people that having superpowers could be a bad thing. Another case has Spider-Man suing J. Jonah Jameson for libel. The supporting characters include a shape-changing process server and the firm's gopher, the formerly mindless Awesome Android, now known as Awesome Andy. Slott's dialogue is witty, and the stories are never too serious. Unfortunately, the change in the art team halfway through this volume damages the story's unity. Juan Bobillo has a stylized, clear-lined, somewhat cartoony style; while Paul Pelletier has more of a classic mainstream superhero comics style. Each is talented, but their art is too dissimilar to work together. That's unfortunate, because this is otherwise an interesting and clever comic.
