Hilarious, quirky stuff
This book's great. Ex-superhero strongwoman becomes ordinary, one-of-the-crowd lawyer? Who'd have thought there'd be such mileage in that premise?

Not so much a superhero story as a twenty-something "find yourself" comedy, stuffed with unexpected twists and turns and wonderfully quirky fantasy moments (a ghost that wants to testify at his own murder trial; a wonderful civil suit featuring a very famous face; i don't want to spoil it by saying who!). It's endlessly inventive, and despite the sometimes outrageous ideas at play, there's a real human heart to it. There is something ludicrous about the situations which take place in the book, but there's often a genuinely moving pathos to She-hulk's requirement not to be her "true self" during work hours, to say nothing of how effortlessly the silliness of some of her clients' predicaments melt into real human emotion. It might remind you a little of Ally Mc Beal here and there, but in reality it's far superior stuff. Funnier, quirkier and more grown-up.

Try this book out. It'll surprise you. It certainly did me.

Sensational!
Dan Slott is an old school comic writer. He tells a story in a single issue without having recourse to killing your favourite second-string characters. Instead he actually builds on what already exists by crafting the sort of ingenious plots that show a rare imagination. This translates well into She-Hulk, giving it a light but engaging tone that is immensely enhanced by the lovely, whimsical art of Juan Bobillo. The book has been described as Ally McBeal meets Spiderman and that's a good fit. The She-Hulk of the title is a character you can feel for and well worth your money and time.

Brains AND Brawn...............!!
I bet a lot of people passed on this, She-Hulk having a poorish comics pedigree (although I actually liked her character) and widely seen as being a pale imitation of the proper Hulk (in fact, she was created to secure the copyright on the name).
The good news is, the creative team have taken a completely new approach to the character, emphasizing She-Hulks legal skills (as her normal self, Jennifer Walters) and keeping the slam bang action to her green skinned cousin.What we are given are character driven stories, written with a humorous undertone but sometimes serious points, and some great art, although I find She-Hulk, and some other characters, drawn slightly oddly at times. The Ally Mcbeal tag is a fair one, and I bet the comic was pitched as that, but it works.
Give this a go, you won't regret it.
