This whole run is turning out to be a fantastic collection of short character-driven stories. We get to see why Jennifer Walters prefers being She-Hulk most of the time, how she is gradually empowered in her human form, and some normal coping mechanisms she turns to in the face of shame and confusion (e.g. promiscuous sex and alcoholism/constant partying, even though she can't actually get drunk as She-Hulk).
There are frequent meta-references and 4th Wall breakings, which I found delightful. The basement of the law offices Jen Walters/She-Hulk practices at are filled with long boxes of Marvel comics. The idea being that the Comics Code Authority is a federal office, so anything with that stamp on it can be used in a court of law. Fans and superheroes have to deal with continuity issues and precedents set decades ago.
Volume 2 of this collection is already overdue at the library, so I'm eager to plow through it and write a longer review covering the whole run by Dan Slott.

This was my first time reading She-Hulk, and now I want to read everything she's ever been in ever. This collection was awesome, She-Hulk is such a perfect sassmaster, and I can't wait to get vol. 2 in the mail (just ordered it yesterday!).

Reminded me of Top 10. Anything that reminds me of Top 10 will end up being loved by me.

It’s not John Byrne’s Sensational She-Hulk, but still excellent. Dan Slott’s run clearly served as major inspiration for the Disney+ show, but it was interesting to see how they flipped things, reworked them, etc.

Great storytelling.
Though, there's quite a lot of teased romance that doesn't seem to be going anywhere.

Just too corny for my taste. Besides the writing, I didn’t even like the artwork—the characters were flat and undefined and She-Hulk looked downright ugly in almost every issue, except for the cover art and a few examples obviously drawn by a different illustrator. I read this because the Disney+ series is apparently based on this version of She-Hulk, but have to say I like the show and Tatiana’s portrayal a lot more than this book.

I wanted to be more interested in this story and I wasn't. It was quirky and fun but I didn't feel much investment until the last couple of issues when we started to get a glimpse of the 4th wall breaking that has become She-Hulk's token.
