She-Hulk by Dan Slott Complete Collection Vol. 1 by Dan Slott
4.0
This whole run is turning out to be a fantastic collection of short character-driven stories. We get to see why Jennifer Walters prefers being She-Hulk most of the time, how she is gradually empowered in her human form, and some normal coping mechanisms she turns to in the face of shame and confusion (e.g. promiscuous sex and alcoholism/constant partying, even though she can't actually get drunk as She-Hulk).
There are frequent meta-references and 4th Wall breakings, which I found delightful. The basement of the law offices Jen Walters/She-Hulk practices at are filled with long boxes of Marvel comics. The idea being that the Comics Code Authority is a federal office, so anything with that stamp on it can be used in a court of law. Fans and superheroes have to deal with continuity issues and precedents set decades ago.
Volume 2 of this collection is already overdue at the library, so I'm eager to plow through it and write a longer review covering the whole run by Dan Slott.
