A character in this comic uses the phrase "Check your privilege" un-ironically.

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. Show Less

Given how much I love the Incredible Hulk, it seemed inevitable that I check out this series, so I put this on hold in the library. A strong first volume, but I am left confused about a number of things. So, Jennifer can control when she hulks, great, I love that! Can she also control when she's
I love the mysterious Angie and her monkey. I need to know more about them. They are deliberately opaque, and I like that. Hellcat, though, seems like another case of taking for granted that you already know these characters. Though there is a hint that some of her mystery is deliberate.
I do like the mystery of the blue file, which the story picks up with in the last third of the book, but the change in artists here is SO JARRING, it gave me whiplash. Pulida's art was beautiful and smooth, with several panels giving me a lovely Love & Rockets vibe. Then... Wimberly. From other reviews it seems most everyone dislikes him, with many readers giving up on this section, which is horrible! because reveal of Angie's badassness! There are even a few scenes where the art commits the cardinal sin of obscuring crucial pieces of action, in addition to being ugly. It's not that I have nothing good to say about Wimberley's art work, I think he does a very good job with bodies, and there are some cool plays on perspective. But the faces are so unattractive.
The story, though? Four stars. Will be putting volume 2 on hold soon.

green? Because she's green 95% of this comic -- just ungreen enough to make you go, "Wait, what?" Is it because she is so secure in her superhero identity that she is proud to rock her greenness? It seems that way, and I would love that, just give me one throwaway line to establish that. This is the first volume of a new arc, probably lots of new readers are trying this out, not just me, a little more character establishment would be great.I love the mysterious Angie and her monkey.

I feel like this had a lot of what I really like in a story, but by halfway through, I was just dragging my feet. I found Pulido's art good enough, but holy cow, Wimberly's work just did NOT do it for me. Alas...
