She-Hulk #1 (Comics) Preview

Jennifer Walters steps back into the solo-book spotlight with a brand new She-Hulk standalone title.

Lawyer. Avenger. Hero. Friend. Jennifer Walters has been called many things – but to most, she’s known only as the She-Hulk! Today, Marvel is proud to present your first look at SHE-HULK #1 – the all-new ongoing series written by rising star Charles Soule and drawn by fan-favorite artist Javier Pulido! Savior of the world on more than one occasion, Jennifer Walters is embarking on a brand new, and no less dangerous mission – opening a new law practice!

“One of the big themes I’m going to play with is how in the world Jennifer is supposed to do everything she’s supposed to do,” said Charles Soule, in an interview with Marvel.com. “We don’t want things to be easy for our heroes—we want to see them overcome great difficulties. She-Hulk will battle one of the greatest villains of all: scheduling.”

“But She-Hulk will fight her share of giant robots and irradiated monsters, I promise,” he continued.

“Charles gets the humanity of this character – this book doesn’t just have superhero action, it has an emotional core that makes that action all the more meaningful,” says Associate Editor Tom Brennan. “And with Javier Pulido, we have a master storyteller who brings so much to the story and gives this series a texture and a pop of energy that defines All New Marvel NOW!”

But juggling her caseload and kicking bad guy butt might be a bit more complicated than she imagines. Not to mention the growing number of supervillains she’s making personal enemies of. Sure she can knock The Thing out in one punch, but this time she may have bit off more than she can chew! And that’s just the start of it. Don’t miss a new beginning for the jade champion of justice when SHE-HULK #1 smashes into comic shops this February!

It’s nice to see Shulkie back in action in a new book again. It’s also nice to see the familiar main theme of the character, that being her chaotic life, reemerge as well. It’s always been one of Jennifer’s more interesting components that she’s not only a superhero, but also a lawyer with no intention of giving up either one. Of course, she’s also the cousin of the Incredible Hulk, and I’m sure that’ll come into play sooner or later here too; especially with the renewed focus of that character being an Avenger once again.

Also, as weird as it seems to say, the new She-Hulk series seems like it’s going to be kind of relatable too. After all, who hasn’t done battle with the deadly foe that is time management. Pencil this launch in and catch up with Jen in She-Hulk #1 from the team of Charles Soule and Javier Pulido this February the 12th.
