Sensational She-Hulk (2023-) #1

After discovering that Jack can’t hurt Jen if he’s already full of radiation, their relationship is back on. She introduces Jack to her secret superhero/villain fight club. Regular Hulk (He-Hulk?) shows up. In a side-story, She-Hulk teaches an intern how to be a superhero.

Why is this a new series? An editor’s note says “we loved what the previous volume was doing and we wanted to get it into more people’s hands”. What does that even mean? The previous series was only 15 issues, that’s hardly inaccessible. I suspect the real answer is somewhere between “we would have to pay more to continue the previous series than to start a new one” and “we had to start a new series in order to add He-Hulk”, both of which are show more annoying.

This is a perfectly fine issue, in which nothing really happens. I’m happy for Jen and Jack but I would love for them to address the fact that Jen was on a date with another man when aliens tried to blow up Manhattan! It’s not a new series in any way. The additional story was a fun little treat. Andres Genolet’s art is perfect but it was nice to see someone else’s take. show less
