Some superheroes have a tendency to wallow in angst in the midst of a problem or foe. She-Hulk prefers to just get shit done. But this comic isn't about She-Hulk, it's about Jennifer Walters' life outside of being a superhero. Jennifer is a damn good attorney, and when her employers reveal they only wanted her to bring in her rich superhero acquaintances as clients, not actually do her job, she quits. From there Jennifer takes on a case solo, even though the defendant is Tony Stark, and after a few robot pitfalls she settles the case with Tony himself. Issue #1 ends with Jennifer opening up her own law firm, and even though she's nervous, the readers know she'll be successful, because like I said, She-Hulk gets shit done. 4.5 out of 5.

Wasn’t feeling this at all. I’ve recently been interested in getting into she-hulk and after receiving a pile of old Single issues as a gift I was excited. I think if I maybe had a bit more interest in law this would have been cool, and I honestly really do like her character but I just found this boring honestly. Nothing much really happens, and I’m really not a fan of tony stark so his inclusion doesn’t help.

I've never been huge on She-Hulk but when I saw this kick ass cover art I couldn't resist checking this comic out and I am SOO GLAD I did. It was awesome and gave me a whole new appreciation for the Jade Giantess. This comic doesn't focus on She-Hulk's work with the Avengers or the Fantastic Four, instead it centers on her work as a lawyer. After getting fired for not bringing in her famous friends as clientele, She-Hulk (aka Jennifer) opens up her own practice and starts cultivating clients. She gets to interacts with some characters we are familiar with (Doctor Doom, Tony Stark, Daredevil, Hell Cat and more) and finds out that lawyering own her own is going to be a lot more work than she initially thought. Totally awesome, humorous, and smart, this is a must read for Marvel fans.

Feminist reboot. Great for newcomers to the genre and the character, but I'm told it's interesting to manly man comic book veterans as well.

I like She-Hulk and I'd love to read more of her. This first issue was quite cool; I like seeing different angles of the Marvel universe, and the legal one presented here falls right into the kind of things that interest me.
However, the art was a big turnoff for me. I just don't like it at all. I pretty much knew that coming into it, from a few panels I'd seen here and there on the web, but that first issue confirmed it. It doesn't mean that I won't read the rest if I get the chance, but I'm not planning on buying this run any time soon. Which is probably a good thing for my budget anyway.

I have to say that I'm really enjoying the Marvel NOW run. It's definitely introducing me to new characters as well as changing my perspectives about some. In this case (haha pun because lawyer), it's with She-Hulk. I really never gave her much thought and if I'll be honest, I thought she was just a rip off of the Hulk. That was before this issue. I really liked how she embraced what happened to her with the whole Hulk deal and was actually really impressed that it's stated that unlike Bruce, she can control the Hulkness. Not to mention I love her snark with Tony and her overall lawyerness in general. I'm intrigued and will most definitely continue reading!

This was a solid reintroduction and start to a new She Hulk run. Don't expect much action, in fact the only real 'fight scene' isn't shown just more of a before and after. There is a Tony Stark cameo and I enjoyed that the story felt more complete than single issues usually do these days.
I did NOT enjoy the artwork or the way She Hulk was drawn, she is supposed to be strong and beautiful not round and manly.
Also, I needed a little more tongue and cheek humor.
Good not great, but I think the set up is perfect, looking forward to the next issue.

Such a beautiful cover! And a cool story! She is awesome! Also love the Tony Stark snark.
Unlike her male counterpart Jennifer Walters do not turn into her hulk, she is permanently green and strong. Jennifer is an attorney and the comic manages to make that quite heroic and she gets to fight robots. There are some great humor in this one. The artwork is very clean comic book style, but the layout of the pages makes it special.

I adore the artwork in this reboot. I love that it is a little old-school, not only in the style but in the character design. It's as if Tony Stark was played by Clark Gable, which, PS, I would love to see.
