She-Hulk: Deconstructed Review



Finished reading She-Hulk: Deconstructed, coming to terms with the aftermath of Civil War II Jen Walters finds herself back in her normal human form after finding out that her transition to her hulk form is more stressful that before. The book opens with Jen getting ready for her first day back to work after getting out of the hospital where she is back with a law firm where her first appointment is with Maise Brewn who need legal help as her landlord is trying to evict her even though she pats her rent in full and on time. While taking Maise's case Jen finds herself struggling to control her transformation into her Hulk form after the being severely hurt in the battle with Thanos at the beginning of Civil War II. Overall this was a great book as writer Mariko Tamaki sends Jen back to work as a lawyer that bring a very intriguing case to the book when something strange is involved which becomes very apparent when bodies begin to show up of people who come to Maise's door. The character development for Jennifer with how she deals with going back to work and they way her story parallels that of Maise's helps to make her eventual transformation into her Hulk form more impactful after trying her best to avoid it throughout the book. Additionally the Jen's own internal monologue is great as it shows how she's trying to deal with her life currently and how she puts off thinking about recent events even though there is a lot uncertainty within Jen's own thoughts. The book's art work is great as it captures each characters interactions and emotions extremely especially while making Jen's transformation into her hulk form feel like something from a monster movie in places due to the fact that she's not turning into her normal She-Hulk form. 8/10.
