This is not a superhero book. Not even a little bit. It's more Hawkeye than Hulk, following the stories of Jennifer Walters's law career – or lack of career, as the book starts – and what she does when she's not an Avenger or member of the FF. In other words, this is a comic that could have gone really bad really fast. In the wrong hands, this thing could have been a boring, bizarre mess. Fortunately, due to the very capable Charles Soule and Javier Pulido, that is not the case. In fact, She-Hulk #1 is absolutely fantastic. It's the She-Hulk comic we never knew we needed.
The focus of this issue is Jennifer Walters setting up her own law practice. Any action, such as a fight between giant robots, happens off panel. By moving the more obvious aspects of the book off the page, it allows She-Hulk to tell a different kind – and more possibly more engaging – story. The success of comics like Hawkeye allowed this thing to exist, and we should be thankful for that. As long as comics like this continue to be this good, we should welcome them. Hell, we should celebrate them.
