unladylike 's review for:
She-Hulk, Volume 1: Deconstructed
by Mariko Tamaki
Not as good as Slott's or Soule's runs on She-Hulk, but Tamaki is going in a different direction, and it would be unfair for me to pit every other version of such a versatile character against my personal favorite. This series begins after She-Hulk nearly died in a fight with Thanos during Civil War II (which I have no desire to read), leaving her in a coma. If that trauma weren't bad enough, upon waking, she witnesses (or imagines witnessing?) her cousin, Bruce Banner aka the original Hulk, getting shot in the head with an arrow, courtesy of Hawkeye, and there's reason to believe he knew it was going to happen (maybe related to the whole theme of CWII re: foreseeing major events and the ethical dilemmas that follow, but I really don't know).
Jen Walters is trying to get back into lawyering, but now she's afraid of the new, grey, monstrous version of Hulk she becomes when sufficiently triggered. This new Hulk manifestation is reminiscent of some of the original Hulk's temporarily changed forms, beginning decades ago with the famous Gray Hulk. But for unexplained reasons, Jen's Gray Hulk has the opposite characteristics of Bruce's Gray Hulk: her acuity and intelligence are drastically diminished, and she is overwhelmed with rage and an urge for destruction, much more like Bruce's more well-known Green Hulk-out rampages.
Nothing very original in this book, but I still enjoyed the pieces getting set up in this world with characters I've come to love.
