A review by doronjosama
Essential Savage She-Hulk, Vol. 1 by Mike Vosberg, John Buscema, David Anthony Kraft, Stan Lee

4.0

While some of the writing and attitudes are a bit old fashioned and dated (as it was barely the start of the 1980's, and Women's Libbers were still considered kind of "out there"), She-Hulk herself remains true to her core principles- she doesn't put up with any nonsense, and she makes incredibly bad choices in men she dates. (Her two suitors in this run are Zapper, a younger man she used to babysit (!!) ostensibly a med student who never goes to class, and Rory, a spendthrift with absolutely terrible luck in everything.) The writing is much more soap-opera than I remember from my original reading as a 10-year-old, but it gives the stories some over-the-top Telenovela flair. Artwork is solid, with a few rare early Michael Golden contributions. Anyone currently complaining about how the Disney+ TV show "ruined" She-Hulk really needs to go back and check these original stories out! Shulkie has always been sassy, larger than life, and again, absolutely awful at dating.
