These stories are highly accessible, which makes them a great read for anyone unfamiliar with comic books or the world of the Marvel Universe. This volume features a number of separate storylines which stand on their own but also weave together nicely to create an evolving narrative of She-Hulk's life and development. This focus on courtroom drama makes for a number of funny situations and allows Slott to tell a stories that wouldn't normally fit the standard "superhero action comic" mold. Slott uses She-Hulk's legal career to the fullest and assigns her to a law firm which handles superhuman legal cases. Going back to her John Byrne roots, this She-Hulk incarnation features humorous stories and a jade green giantess who delivers some great quips. Much of her new-found success is due to Dan Slott's talent as a writer. This SHE-HULK series was launched about 10 years after her last comic was cancelled, and it was good to see her again in all her glory. And she's always seemed to be supported by a number of talented writers who know how to have fun, namely John Byrne and the late Steve Gerber. Although she's relatively underutilized, I've always found her to be an iconic character for a number of reasons: She's smart. She-Hulk has long been one of my favorite superheroes since she teamed up with the Fantastic Four in the mid-80's.
