Jennifer Walters: She-Hulk Appreciation 2022

[Frontier]

Two She-Hulk developments, one for the comics, one for the MCU.

This one was already telegraphed to us, but in Fantastic Four #40,
spoilers:

She-Hulk and Jack of Hearts are already an item, effectively preempting their story in her own title. Jen Bartel's covers for a future issue shows them being sweet to each other.

end of spoilers
CBR has an article about that here.

And another character will supposedly show up in the Disney+ show, as CBR reports here.

Huh. Might be an interesting relationship to be sure...

[Dipter]

Did they have some sort of pre-existing chemistry?

Did they have some sort of pre-existing chemistry?

They were on The Avengers together, I believe.

[Ravin' Ray]

Did they have some sort of pre-existing chemistry?

It's complicated.

During Geoff John's Avengers run
spoilers:

Jack and Jen were teammates, and in one mission he accidentally absorbed gamma radiation from her, forcing her into human form. This traumatized her so that she fled to Bone, Idaho, searching for Bruce. When the Avengers tracked her there, Wanda's siphoning of gamma from her when she hulked-out in fear caused her to react and become savage and rampage across town. It took the returning Jack to again siphon excess gamma and then return a limited amount to revert her to the status quo, but they could no longer be physically close to one another.

end of spoilers
So now it would seem they will overcome this little side-effect.

Before he became a superstar on AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, Dan Slott delighted readers with his sensational SHE-HULK run! Jennifer Walters is a gamma-powered Green Goliath just like her Hulkish cousin, but her home is in the courtroom — where she takes on some of the Marvel Universe’s wildest cases, litigating alongside coworkers like reformed android Awesome Andy and researching old Marvel comics to set legal precedents. Could She-Hulk’s career get any stranger? Sure — when she’s summoned to outer space to practice Universal Law for the Living Tribunal or pulled out of the timeline by the Time Variance Authority! But when the Superhuman Registration Act leads to a civil war, whose side will She-Hulk argue? Plus: all-out smackdowns against Titania, the Champion and an A-Z of the Hulk’s enemies! Collecting SHE-HULK (2004) #1-12, SHE-HULK (2005) #1-21 and MARVEL WESTERNS: TWO-GUN KID.

I'm primarily a DC fan but I read Marvel as well and particularly love Hulk, Black Cat, Spider-man, Captain America, Cyclops and most of all She-Hulk!

I'm very excited about the new Disney+ series and also the new ongoing comic series which premiered!

I didn't see a thread here so... who's excited!?

Oops totally missed this appreciation thread! Thanks. I'll start exploring!

I was looking for this; I have to wonder why Jen went back to her mild mannered lawyer self after staying in her she hulk form for years.

[Digifiend]

Simple answer is Civil War II. Thanos managed to whammy her with a missile, and she ended up in a coma and then a grey Hulk form. Just after resolving that she got gamma overdosed in Avengers and ended up as another version of She-Hulk more like Bruce's Hulks. During that time she only used her She-Hulk form for battle, not full time, and wasn't working as a lawyer. She only recently went back to normal and got back into the law game. Her status quo now is similar to what it was in 2005, prior to the first Civil War.

This is a good summary and Ive been following this.

Didn't realize the Civil War II part though... is that Bendis's book? Is it good?

Yes. And no, it is not good.

I assumed that She-Hulk # 2 was going to be released this month until I looked at the schedule. Darn!

[ChrisIII]

Not to bring in politics too much but She-Hulk sort of made the news in a sort of bizarre way a couple days ago: https://meaww.com/who-is-hulk-lawyer...request-562372
