She-Hulk Volume 1 Review

She-Hulk, Volume 1: Law and Disorder. Charles Soule, Javier Pulido, and Ron Wimberly. 2014. Marvel. 136 pages.

Rating: 2/5

This book is a huge pile of meh. Don't get me wrong. I enjoy what Marvel has done with a lot of their characters recently. It can be interesting to see them dealing with more relatable situations instead of fighting the supervillain of the week. She-Hulk just didn't click for me though.

Jennifer Walters is She-Hulk. She obtained her powers when she received a blood transfusion from her cousin, Bruce Banner. Ms. Walters is also a lawyer. The book begins with her losing her job and she goes on to start her own firm. She has run ins with Tony Stark and Dr. Doom along the way.

The final two issues in this collection are pretty good though. Jennifer has a mysterious blue file with notes on a case that everyone involved has forgotten about, including herself. The tidbits revealed about Jennifer, her assistants, and the others involved in the case make for an interesting read.

I didn't care for the art in this book either. The only way I can think of to describe it is choppy, almost as if pieces were placed together like clippings from a newspaper.
