She-Hulk returns to HQ which promises to revisit the classic blockbuster stage


‘Comics Oscar’ Nominated Writer With She-Hulk Promises New Headquarters That Revisits Character’s Classic Success Phase

John Byrne’s She-Hulk was a landmark in the late 80s, bringing a mocking tone that reframed the character, into funny stories that made the title a hit. Subsequently, the heroine has spent a long time without relevance, but a writer who made her adventures a success promises once again to revisit the classic stage in a new headquarters.



John Byrne’s Run, released in 1989, was when She-Hulk debuted by breaking the “fourth wall,” long before Deadpool did. The character conversed with readers and flooded the Marvel Comics offices, with storylines that poked fun at already well-worn superhero clichés.

Also, it was when we saw her lawyer side best, with alter ego Jennifer Walters appearing prominently in an era where female characters were either relegated to the background or only served as motivation for heroes, such as “damsels in distress”. “. This made the title a cult following, as an innovative narrative for a low moment in the genre.

Incidentally, the best moments of the irregular adaptation series streaming on Disney+ are precisely those that have tried to reproduce the same tone applied by Byrne on the big screen Sensational She Hulk. And now, great writer Rainbow Rowell promises to revisit that atmosphere in a new title of the same name.

Rowell is known for excellent young adult “dramas” seen in the books Whatever happens: however the wind blows AND The rebel son: rebel son. Her passage as She-Hulk, in the continued series, is worth mentioning She-Hulk was nominated for the 2023 Eisner Awards, the “Oscars of Comic Books”.

“To me, the word ‘fantastic’ reminds me of John Byrne’s version Sensational She-Hulk original. We definitely drew inspiration from the character focus of that book, focusing on Jen, the star of the show. I think we were also inspired by the sensational atmosphere of She-Hulk: the feeling that anything can happen. Things get a little weirder and wilder than in the last volume,” says Rowell, in an interview with Newsarama.

The writer said that “courtroom drama” will also be prominent in the series, even when she’s not in court, as her client interactions and professional responsibilities will have a big impact on the adventures. Her cousin Bruce Banner will also appear in a way that, according to her, has never been well explored.

“One of the things that bugged me as I re-read the old She-Hulk comics was how Jen always appears to Bruce to support him in his stories, but she rarely appears in his books,” he says. “So we were very grateful to the Hulk team for allowing him to visit our book. We tried to make the most of it. And what to expect? I would say… chaos. And a little cuteness too.”

Sensational She-Hulk #1 the newsstand release is scheduled for October 18th.
