Savage She-Hulk #1Jack Bauer's Headquarters is a cool blog - the m.o. is to post old comic book covers and (often) describe the context of them.

The blogger posted the cover to Savage She-Hulk #1 recently - a great, great piece of work - but without commentary. Other recently covered covers (heh) include Captain Marvel Adventures #5 from 1941, Uncanny X-Men #258, and JLA vol. 3, #16.

They're all great. I do wish the blog had some descriptive or analytic text for the She-Hulk comic, though.

I found this over on Continuity Error - it's a breakdown of the events and character growth (heh) found in the first two issues of Savage She-Hulk, which has recently been compiled in Essential Savage She-Hulk vol. 1. Continuity Error begins:

While the Hulk has generally always bored me, I’ve always had a thing for She-Hulk.

Hey! Me, too!

Not like a creepy fetish thing, but just an appeal to the character.

Oh. Uh, me neither. Hey, how about if I just let you talk?

It’s probably the fact that unlike her cousin who walks the line between special needs child and meathead, She-Hulk is a well balanced character. Her strength allows for epic scopes to her adventures. Her intellect allows for resolutions other than smashing things to pieces. And the fact that she is a big, green woman makes sure things are never taken too seriously.

So taking advantage of a 40% off sale at my local comic shop, I thought I’d pick up Essential She-Hulk, vol 1 and get to know Jen Walters a bit better. Let’s take a quick look at issues #1 and #2 of She-Hulk’s first series.
