Brand-new 'She-Hulk' ongoing comic series launches in January!

With the Disney+ streaming She-Hulk series on the way, it’s only natural that Marvek would want to start a new comic book series. Although the character debuted in comics in 1980, and has enjoyed memorable runs by a number of solid comics creators, including John Byrne and Dan Slott, a lot of members of the general public don’t know her as well as her more famous cousin, The Hulk.

Marvel’s sensational powerhouse returns! One of comics’ most beloved heroes, Jennifer Walters, AKA She-Hulk, will star in a new ongoing comic series starting in January!

Written by acclaimed author Rainbow Rowell (RUNAWAYS) with art by Rogê Antônio (X-MEN: RED, HELLIONS), SHE-HULK will see the character embark on a journey that heralds back to her fan-favorite solo adventures of the past while embracing a fresh new future for the character. Promising to be a delight for fans as well as newcomers to She-Hulk’s saga, the series will once again prove why Jennifer Walters is the greatest character around!

Following her transformative time in Jason Aaron’s AVENGERS, She-Hulk is eager to put her rage-filled days behind her and return to practicing law in defense of the innocent. She’s got a career to rebuild, friends to reconnect with (and maybe represent in a court of law) and enemies to…well, she may not want to connect with them, but they are DEFINITELY going to connect with her. And when a friend from her past comes knocking with a mystery she can’t resist, she’ll quickly be back to bashing. The last page of this debut issue is going to send Jen down a road she’s never traveled, one that will shake up her life and possibly the whole Marvel Universe.

“She-Hulk is the best of the best,” Rowell said. “She’s smart, she’s funny—and she’s really and truly heroic (all that and she has the best hair in comics). Jen has always been at the top of my Marvel wishlist, and I’m thrilled to be writing her next chapter.”

"I’m very excited and feel honored to be a part of this exciting new phase of She-Hulk,” Antônio said. “Working with Rainbow Rowell has been inspiring and it’s amazing how she lets her passion for the character shine through on every page. I hope the fans have as much fun reading as I’m having illustrating these new adventures."

A premiere issue so big it’ll have not one but two dazzling main covers—one by astounding cover artist Jen Bartel and another by comics legend Adam Hughes! Check them out here, and be there when She-Hulk smashes her way into a new era on January 12!

About She-Hulk

She-Hulk AKA Jennifer Walters is a Marvel Comics character created by writer Stan Lee and artist John Buscema. After a blood transfusion from her cousin, Bruce Banner (who becomes the Incredible Hulk), Walters now becomes a giant, super-strong, green-skinned version of herself. However, unlike her cousin, she can continue to be in mental control.

Also a highly skilled lawyer, she frequently serves as legal counsel for others who are super-powered. In the comics, She-Hulk has also been a member of the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, S.H.I.E.L.D, and more.

Walters made her live-action debut with the Disney+ series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (2022), played by Tatiana Maslany. The series is developed by Jessica Gao. She-Hulk also stars Mark Ruffalo, Tim Roth, Ginger Gonzaga, Renée Elise Goldsberry, and Jameela Jamil.
