Previously on She-Hulk: Jen Walters, AKA She-Hulk, fought off the dastardly Absorbing Man with the help of some of her super friends. At Absorbing Man’s side was supposed to be Titania, Jen’s ex-best-friend Mary, but she bailed at the last second. Unfortunately for Jen, after J. Jonah Jameson revealed her secret identity, many conflicts of interest were raised in Jen’s superhero law career. Her bosses at Goodman, Liever, Kurtzberg, & Holliway gave her an ultimatum: stick with her law career or her superhero career, but not both.
Jen (Jenny Slate) gets dressed in front of a mirror. She looks down to her closet at her two options: professional wear for her lawyer career or a specially designed She-Hulk suit.
So I’ve made my decision…
A short but incredibly fast and sneaky supervillain named the Speed Demon (Griffin Newman) races through the streets of New York with bag full of cash from a bank robbery. Since there are not many places to truly get away, he cuts down to the subway and starts running through the tunnels, where the cops have to stop their pursuit. On one of the trains, we see a newspaper being read by someone with green hands on an otherwise empty train. The newspaper is lower to reveal She-Hulk smiling. She advises the driver to let her take over as there is a dangerous criminal roaming the tracks. He is hesitant but NYPD gives him the go-ahead.
In her ear, Stu (Himesh Patel) tries to give her Speed Demon’s coordinates but the underground location makes it difficult. Jen asks if there is any other way he can help, perhaps any comic book knowledge that would be useful. Stu thinks for a moment before remembering that he used to be called “Whizzer” before changing it to Speed Demon to make him seem cooler. Jen says perfect and thanks Stu.
Using the trains intercom, she calls out for “The Whizzer”, prompting a confused Speed Demon to stop in his tracks. “That’s not my name!” he shouts. She-Hulk can barely hear him so she keeps doing this to egg him on. “That’s. Not. My. NAME!!!” He reverses his path and starts to run towards Jen’s train. She sees him coming but realizes that the breaks won’t stop in time and that she may have went too far in her teasing. Seeing his small demeanor, she knows there is no way he will win in a battle with a train. She-Hulk leaps through the front window and starts running with the train pushing against her back, slowing it down in the process. Upon seeing the size of She-Hulk, Speed Demon starts to get scared and reverses course again but this time She-Hulk is able to catch up with him.
She tries to grab a hold of him but her leg is grabbed by a short hairless creature with yellowish skin. This freaks out both She-Hulk and Speed Demon as more of these things appear. They start to fight them off together, while She-Hulk snatches Speed Demon’s bag of cash. She yells for Stu who tells her that these sound to be Moloids but he isn’t sure. “Moloids?! What the hell is a moloid?!?” she yells and he tells her it may take a while to explain. She finally fights them off but Speed Demon has also escaped and is running away. She decides not to chase after him as she at least got the money he stole.
“New York Groove” plays as we see a montage of some of Jen’s exploits as the She-Hulk since the last time we saw her. As expected, she has become a full-on celebrity and is still the topic of tabloid gossip, this time the focus being on Jen Walters since her identity was exposed.
At dinner, Jen thanks Stu for his help earlier that day. Things are flirtatious between them but they are still taking it slow. She asks him how things are at the firm and he says the same old, same old. She asks if they miss her and he says they all seem pretty aggravated by her decision. “Typical Mallory.” she says but he says Holden, too. He says that he is risking his job by aiding her in her adventures but it is a risk he is willing to take. He asks if she has been able to get ahold of Mary yet. She says she finally responded and they’re set for lunch tomorrow. He isn’t sure what to say and wishes her best of luck, which they both share a laugh about. At the end of their dinner, they aren’t sure how to part ways and end up awkwardly hugging.
In the middle of the night, Jen is woken up by a text from her old boss Holden Holliway. She is too nervous to even read it so she leaves it unread for now.
At lunch, Jen and Mary (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) catch up. Jen says it seems like forever since they’ve seen each other and jokingly asks why Mary is ghosting her. Jen says she hated the sour note that they left things on and that hopefully time heals old wounds. Mary smiles and says she was hoping the same. Jen excitedly catches Mary up on the events at the courthouse and how her rag-tag group of friends took on this crazy guy who could change his skin into whatever he was touching.
In prison, we see inmate Carl Creel (Steve Howey) trying to make a phone call to no avail. “Come on, Mary, pick up!” he whispers frustratingly under his breath.
Back at the restaurant, Mary looks nervously at the camera and then back at Jen, looking fascinated by her story. Jen then tells Mary about he current predicament with the text from Holden. Should she look at it? Mary is supportive and says that Jen should definitely read it. Read it, in fact. She pulls out her phone and reads the message: “Call me when you can. Would like to meet. Not business related.” Jen and Mary look suggestively at each other “What do you think it is about? You wouldn’t think he wants to…” Mary says. “No, no, no. He’s way too old for me, anyways. Although his voice is rather soothing…” They both laugh. Jen decides that she will give him a call after their dinner. Mary gets an alert on her phone and says that she has a meeting to get to and they promise to start seeing each other more often.
Jen nervously gives Holden (F. Murray Abraham) a call and he says it is nice to hear from her. He would like to meet her the next day at Central Park, if possible. She agrees to it. Jen looks to the camera:

Genre: Superhero / Comedy / Legal

Cast:
Jenny Slate .... Jennifer Walters / She-Hulk
Phoebe Waller-Bridge .... Mary MacPherran
Himesh Patel .... Stu Cicero
F. Murray Abraham .... Holden Holliway
Ron Perlman .... J. Jonah Jameson
Michael Richards .... Morris Walters
Finn Wittrock .... John Jameson
Stephen Tobolowsky .... Dr. Jack Cereus
Mary sits in a circle of people seated in chairs. Dr. Jack Cereus (Stephen Tobolowsky) stands up and tells everyone that it is the top of the hour so it’s time to start. He asks Mary (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) if she would like to go first. She looks to camera and rolls her eyes before saying “sure”.
“Hi, my name is Mary and I’m a supervillain.”
At home, Jen watches the local news during the crime segment to see what is going on around town. A supervillain known by the alias “Southpaw”, believed to be a teenager, injured three police officers who were trying to arrest her for fraud. Her whereabouts are unknown. Jen looks to the camera.
Teenage supervillain. That’s gotta be rough.
Jen (Jenny Slate) travels to Central Park, where she meets up with Holden Holliway (F. Murray Abraham), her former boss. Holden reminds her that there are no hard feelings between the two, although she is skeptical. She asks if he is going to ask her to come back to the firm and says that she isn’t sure if she would say yes as she is enjoying life as She-Hulk. He says he is not. He asks if he ever told Jen about his son, Holden Jr. She says no. Holden explains that his son was his pride and joy. When Junior was young, he always wanted to be a lawyer like his old man. As he got older, he chose a different path but one that probably fit him better: law enforcement. Jen looks on curiously, not sure where this is going.
He then looks to his feet and says it’s been almost three years since they lost Junior. Jen is shocked and offers her condolences. He says he has grieved and that his son knew that it was a part of his profession and a risk he was willing to take. And his son’s wife knew as well. It was his granddaughter who was hurt the most. In middle school at the time, a lot was going on in her life at the time and the death of her father sent things into a tailspin. To say the last few years have not been easy for his daughter-in-law would be an understatement. And then a few weeks ago, his granddaughter Sasha ran away from home.
Jen’s heart sinks, knowing where this is going. She asks if she is the one she saw on TV and he confirms. He says that since Jen is connected to the superhero world, he was wondering if she could do him a favor and track down his granddaughter. He knows how the world views supervillains and is worried that others might not go as easy on her. As she has always respected Holden, she tells him she will try her best. He gives her a heartfelt thank you.
Jen goes home and lays down on her couch, staring at the ceiling. Holden’s request is weighing heavy on her and she knows this will not be easy. She actually starts to tear up before her cell phone rings. It is her father Morris (Michael Richards). He asks if she is watching The Bugle. She asks why she would ever do that and then asks him if he’s been watching The Bugle again - she thought she warned him against that. He laughs this off and says that they’re talking about her again. Jen rolls her eyes and turns on the TV.
J. Jonah Jameson (Ron Perlman) sits as his desk with a graphic of She-Hulk to his right. He is talking at length about her being a rare hero who doesn’t mind if people know her true identity, which he kind of admires.
He’s saying that now, because his last scheme didn’t work out so well.
However, he starts to change her tune whenever he starts talk about her public persona. He complains about a scantily-clad green woman wandering the streets of New York, in front of all of those cameras and children. What kind of role model is that? What is that telling young little American girls what they should be when they grow up, instead of good wives and mothers? He then uses this as an opportunity to praise his son John (Finn Wittrock), who he says broke up with She-Hulk upon realizing this. She shuts off the TV immediately once she sees John’s face on there.
WHY IS HE SO OBSESSED WITH ME?!
Still curious, she turns back on the TV and sees Jameson is now taking calls. One caller tells JJJ to take it easy on She-Hulk. At least she is not out there causing havoc like the hoodlums in The Hood’s network. This sparks a lightbulb for Jen. She calls Stu (Himesh Patel) over for some late-night take-out. There is a brief pause and she says not to get dirty, she is talking about food.
When he arrives, she asks him to tell her everything he knows about The Hood.
Meanwhile, Mary leaves her Supervillains Anonymous meeting and gets on the subway. She listens to “Evil Woman” by ELO on her headphones as she exits and walks down the sidewalk alone. Instead of going home, she goes to the facility that Carl took her to. After gaining access, she starts to underground - to The Hood’s secret lair.

Based on the Marvel Comics characters
Cast:
Jenny Slate .... Jennifer Walters / She-Hulk
Phoebe Waller-Bridge .... Mary MacPherran
Himesh Patel .... Stu Cicero
Michiel Huisman .... The Hood
Helena Howard .... Sasha
Plot: In her apartment, Stu (Himesh Patel) and Jen (Jenny Slate) pig out on snacks as he uses his comic book knowledge to tell her about one of the most notorious villains in New York City: The Hood. While his real identity is unknown, the legend of the Hood goes something like this: a small-time criminal in the Kingpin’s crime syndicate, this man encountered a drug deal gone bad in an abandoned warehouse in Queens. What he stumbled upon was a ritual summoning the Nisanti demon. Unable to escape, the story goes that this man had a showdown with the demon, where he shot and killed him. And then he stole the demon’s hood and boots, gaining its powers in the process. Jen looks to the camera.
Can you believe this shit?
Stu can tell that Jen is skeptical and says “Well, gamme-infused blood transfusion?”. She laughs and tells him that is a good point. Stu says that The Hood has formed a formidable crime syndicate of his own, although it is ran both figuratively and literally underground, meaning the police have had no success in tracking them down. She says that sounds like the job of a certain green-skinned superheroine and smiles. Stu does not smile and instead says he is worried about this job. The Hood has a lot of people in his syndicate and this could be very dangerous. She takes his hand and promises that she will be fine - besides he’ll be in her ear. He jokingly makes a suggestive look and she says not in a sexual way. Besides, what would that even mean?! He gives her a tracker to attach to Sasha, if need be.
Jen turns into detective mode and starts to pick up any hint of where her target might be. Admittedly, she confesses to Stu that detective work isn’t exactly her forte. He reminds her that she wasn’t much of a fighter before She-Hulk. Luckily for her, Sasha (Helena Howard) is a teenager and thus a novice criminal, leaving a trail behind her. Once Jen locates her, she starts to tail her as she wanders anonymously through the streets of Manhattan.
As she goes down the long alley, Jen whispers in her ear that this might be the Hood’s spot. As she is saying this, Southpaw turns around and looks squarely at She-Hulk. Jen thinks about turning around but she decides to lean into the confrontation. She says that she is not here to hurt or even arrest Sasha. This makes Southpaw even more angry, saying that that is not her name. She takes a swing at She-Hulk with her mechanical arm, twice the size of her regular arm. Jen takes the blow but stands her ground and says she is not here to fight a teenager. Southpaw hits her again, with even more power, knocking She-Hulk to the ground. Southpaw starts to climb up the fire escape but Jen comes after her and gets ahold of Southpaw’s leg. Sasha is able to kick Jen off, prompting Jen to then grab the ladder itself and pull it off of the escape itself. Stu tells Jen in her ear to neutralize Southpaw’s good arm and she sarcastically whips back “I know!!”. Southpaw, being smaller and more agile than She-Hulk, slides between her opponents legs while taking the ladder with her. She slams the steel ladder into Jen’s back before she can turn around. Jen realizes that she is kind of losing this fight and tells Stu in her ear that this kid is good. He tells her he knows and that’s why she needs to focus on the fight but before she can turn around, Southpaw has lifted up the alley’s dumpster and slams it on She-Hulk’s head, knocking her out.
Jen wakes up in normal form but being caressed in Stu’s arms. He exhales and tells her he is so happy to see her awake. He asks how she feels and she says that She-Hulk takes damage really well but it is Jen that feels the after-effects. But she’s good and ready to continue. She asks if the tracker stuck and he confirms. He was able to track to her current location, which he believes to be The Hood’s lair. She lights up and says “let’s do it!”.
We see an angle with a small tracking device the size of a dime and zoom out to realize it is Southpaw. She makes her entrance into the underground headquarters of the Syndicate and as she walks in, she accidentally runs into someone else down there. She helps the person up and it turns out to be Mary (Phoebe Waller-Bridge). Mary introduces herself and Southpaw introduces herself as Southpaw. Mary says they don’t need to use those names right now so Sasha says Sasha and Mary’s eyes light up telling her she’s heard big things. The Hood (Michiel Huisman) emerges from the shadows and places his hands on each of their shoulders. He summons them and they follow.
Outside, we see Jen and Stu observing the entrance to the facility, plotting their entry.

Jen (Jenny Slate) and Stu (Himesh Patel) scope out The Hood’s lair, where they believe Southpaw to be hiding. Knowing that the facility must be heavily guarded, she asks if there are any heroes with X-ray vision. He tries to think and says none that he can think of - just some fictional ones like in Action Comics. She then says what about telepathy? Couldn’t they read the minds of anyone in the facility to figure out how many are there. He says that’s a good point. In terms of telepath, there is one person that comes to mind but it’s...a weird situation. She looks confused.
In his lair, The Hood (Michiel Huisman) sits down with Mary (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) and Southpaw (Helena Howard). He explains that he has decided to assign Mary as Southpaw’s mentor and has given them a job where they can both prove themselves. He takes out the file of Absorbing Man and tells the pair that he was one of his best hitmen. He will not take his defeat lightly. He shows footage of Absorbing Man’s defeat at the courthouse and Mary grows nervous, scared he is going to tell them to hurt Jen. Instead, he circles Dan Jermain (Danger Man) and says that killing him will send a message to She-Hulk and the other heroes of New York that the syndicate will not be taken lightly. Mary asks him to reiterate what they are supposed to do, thinking she misheard him say “kill”. She did not. Southpaw, despite being the teenager, tells Mary to suck it up and tells The Hood that she is ready. Mary, without much conviction, says she is ready too.
A knock on the door is heard in a dingy apartment, where Robert Reynolds (Scott Porter) sleeps while sitting up on his couch, an uneaten pizza slice on his lap. The knock wakes him up slightly and he checks the door. When he sees Jen there, he doesn’t recognize her and closes the door. She knocks again and introduces herself as Jen Walters, She-Hulk. He is skeptical so slightly opens the door and realizes that it is really her. He asks what she wants.
In his messy apartment, Jen explains to him her goal in taking down The Hood’s syndicate. “Single-handedly?” he asks, but she says not necessarily. She says that Stu recommended him to her but Robert stops her there. He says that nobody should know who he is. He then asks who she thinks he is and she tells him he is The Sentry. Most people might not know him but Stu is one of the world’s foremost comics experts and is one of the few that do. Robert starts to convulse as he has a vision, seeing himself as an almighty superhero with the power of a thousand suns. As Jen goes to check on him, he snaps out of it and is exasperated. He tells her that he is not a superhero, just look at him. That must have been in a past life. She says “Orrrr you’re secretly very old but never age because you’re a godlike superhero?”. “Well, how would I know?”
Paul Jenkins (Mike White) answers his door and is freaked out to see Reynolds there. Reynolds is surprised and asks how he knows who Robert is, while Stu says in their ears that he told them so. Robert tells Paul that he heard that Paul wrote comics about him. Paul hesitantly confirms before asking if Robert has come to kill him. Jen interjects and says that they’ve come to know everything they can about The Sentry. Paul takes a long breath.
2 Hours Later
Stu whispers into Jen’s headset that they REALLY need to be wrapping up. “And so you told me that whole life story so I could tell it in comics, before you wiped your memory clean.” Jen and Robert stare blankly at Paul. “Oh yeah, how to activate the powers! Well now that you have your memories again, I think you just are The Sentry again.” Jen jokingly thanks him for being concise and says they need to go. Paul says he needs to warn them before they go: now that The Sentry is activated, it opens the door for its dark side as well...The Void.” “Oh, the entity that YOU JUST TOLD US KILLED HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE USING ROBERT’S BODY?!” “Yeah, maybe I shouldn’t have re-activated Bob’s memories.” Robert tells Jen they should not waste any more time and go straight to rescue the girl.
As Jen and Robert make their way down the street, they accidentally run into a couple walking the other way. They all turn around to find that it is John Jameson (Finn Wittrock) with a new girl, a young French model (Ophelie Bau). John is taken aback and says that he didn’t expect to see Jen around. Jen looks to the girl and says “New girlfriend?”. John smiles and introduces her as “Juliette. Fianceé.” Jen isn’t sure what to say. He looks at a disheveled Robert and asks her “new boyfriend?”. She feels like he is making a slight dig at Robert’s appearance and says “Yes, yes he is. And he’s actually also a superhero and he grows big like me.” At home, Stu hears this and is saddened. There is an awkward silence. Robert asks “What the hell?” telepathically and Jen tells him just to go with it. John smiles and tells Jen he is glad that she seems happy. He shakes Robert’s hand and tells him it is nice to meet him. Robert makes his grip extra tight and John is left with no doubt that Robert is also a superhero.
As they walk away, Jen tells him “We are going to go save this girl...but first, I have something to do.”
We cut to her on the phone.
“Hi, yes, this is Jennifer Walters. Yes, that one. I was calling your offices as I am interesting in booking an on-camera interview with Mr. Jameson. Tomorrow night? Perfect.”
She looks to the camera with a sly smile.
In her ear, Stu alerts Jen and Robert that the target is on the move and there is another woman accompanying her. They need to change course.

She-Hulk - Issue #15
Genre: Superhero / Comedy / Legal
Executive Producer: Phoebe Waller-Bridge
Writer: Chad Taylor
Based on the Marvel Comics characters
Cast:
Jenny Slate .... Jennifer Walters / She-Hulk
Phoebe Waller-Bridge .... Mary MacPherran
Himesh Patel .... Stu Cicero
Helena Howard .... Sasha
F. Murray Abraham .... Holden Holliway
Ron Perlman .... J. Jonah Jameson
Scott Porter .... Robert Reynolds
Michael Richards .... Morris Walters
Domenick Lombardozzi .... Dan Jermain / Danger Man
Sanaa Lathan .... Lori Jermain
Storm Reid .... Veronica Jermain
Plot: On his news program, J. Jonah Jameson (Ron Perlman) has a special announcement to make. Tomorrow on his show, the one and only Jennifer Walters will be his guest. Yes, that Jennifer Walters. He tells his viewers they are going to want to tune in. He then says his guest tonight will be local lawyer Foggy Nelson to discuss the legal ramifications of Walters’ antics on her law career. But first, here’s an ad for SquareSpace.
At his home, Morris Walters (Michael Richards) is watching and surprised by this news. He debates calling his daughter about it but knows that she would be mad at him for watching The Bugle again.
When Jen (Jenny Slate) and Robert (Scott Porter) get to The Hood’s lair, Robert uses his telepathy and discovers that Southpaw is no longer there. They get in contact with Stu (Himesh Patel), who tells them that he is working on getting her new location. When he does, he sends them the coordinates. Jen takes note of this location to return later.
As Mary (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) and Southpaw (Helena Howard) travel to their destination, Mary tries to make small talk about ways they might be able to frame this as a murder but not really kill the guy. Southpaw dismisses this and says they won’t be able to move up in the world by cheating on exams. Mary questions the 1-for-1 comparison of these two things and says that Southpaw’s young age/real world experience is probably limiting her metaphors. Southpaw looks angry, as if she could kill Mary in that moment. Mary changes the subject by showing off her new mask that The Hood had made for her, which properly conceals her identity.
Jen realizes that Southpaw is entering Dan Jermain’s neighborhood and she becomes on high alert. She tries to call Dan to warn him but he does not answer.
When they arrive at the Jermain residence, Southpaw punches through the door. When they enter, they find that only the daughter Veronica (Storm Reid) is home. Mary takes the girl hostage as Southpaw begins to overturn the house looking for Dan. Southpaw demands to know where her father is and she says that her parents are out for their anniversary dinner. The two villains must think on the fly and Mary suggests they turn back or at least wait until the parents to arrive. Southpaw says that will give enough time for help to arrive, and lose the element of surprise (which the boss would not be happy with). They need to kill this girl now.
She-Hulk and The Sentry suddenly enter. Sentry orders Titania to release the girl but before he knows it, he is blindsided by a punch from Southpaw. She-Hulk charges at the girl and tries to take her down without hurting her. As she does this, Southpaw yells at Mary to finish the job. However, Mary is hesitant. This allows Sentry enough time to start challenging her.
Southpaw is able to escape She-Hulk’s grasp and goes to kill Veronica. However, Dan (Domenick Lombardozzi) and Lori (Sanaa Lathan) arrive home and find their daughter in peril. This turns Dan into a fit of rage and he charges Southpaw, beginning her to beat her mercilessly. While Jen understands his anger, she interferes and tries to get him to stop. Sentry leaves Mary to help pull Dan off. Jen pleads that she is just a teenage girl. Mary slips out the backdoor as this drama ensues, sight unseen.
She-Hulk uses her people skills to talk an injured Southpaw off the proverbial ledge. She calls her by her real name, Sasha Martin, and mentions how much her family loves her and misses her. They are grieving her father just as she is. This starts to get through to Sasha, who is in tears from the pain. Veronica, seeing a girl close to her own age, joins in on trying to help. This eventually works as Sasha begins full-on crying and apologizing.
We see Sasha being reunited with her family the next day. Holden (F. Murray Abraham) thanks Jen and she says it’s part of the job. He says “Speaking of jobs, I think we might have a case gearing up that might be of particular interest to you…” Jen turns to the camera with a look of fear, thinking she gave up the lawyer gig. He says he can give her a few days to mull over the offer and she thanks him. She looks back to the camera.

She-Hulk - Issue #16
Genre: Superhero / Comedy / Legal
Executive Producer: Phoebe Waller-Bridge

Cast:
Jenny Slate .... Jennifer Walters / She-Hulk
Phoebe Waller-Bridge .... Mary MacPherran
Ron Perlman .... J. Jonah Jameson
F. Murray Abraham .... Holden Holliway
Michael Richards .... Morris Walters
Michiel Huisman .... The Hood
Kate Walsh .... Mallory Brook
Sarah Silverman .... Betty Brant
Eric Dane .... Kallark
Plot: Jennifer Walters (Jenny Slate) takes a deep breath before entering the offices of the Daily Bugle. She is met at the front by Betty Brant (Sarah Silverman). As they tour the building, Brant reveals that she has been Jameson’s assistant for 25 years and knows him like the back of her hand. She gives Jen a list of do’s and don’ts around Jameson (well, mostly don’ts). One major “don’t” is to not bring up his son John. Or Paparazzi Geoff, who they only just hired a replacement for. Just hearing John’s name makes Jen a bit angry but she bites her tongue and takes in everything that Brant says.
J. Jonah Jameson (Ron Perlman) stares into the camera as a production assistant counts him down. He introduces himself and his program, which is streaming live on various platforms. He then brings in his guest for the evening: Jennifer Walters, also known as The She-Hulk (which he is quick to point out is a term he coined). She immediately looks to us.
“Boy, talk about a face for radio.”
“What was that?” Jameson asks. Jen looks back to the camera in confusion. They get on with their conversation which starts off about her public identity reveal by Jamson, which she shakes off like it didn’t it bother. He changes the topic to his previous complaint about the type of example she is setting for young girls who see a scantily clad women beating up men. She is quick to reverse this misogyny on him and points out a picture of him with Mike Tyson and asks if he is offended at those scantily-clad men beating up people on television.
He stumbles on his response and she jumps in and asks if this is more about the skin she is showing or just the very thought of a female superhero. He says that is prosperous. Anyone can save lives as long as that’s what they’re doing. He then says that’s not always the case with her, as the chaos that she directly caused the death of Geoff Fahey. This doesn’t immediately ring a bell for her until Jameson describes him as one of the most respected photojournalists in his field and we realize that he is talking about Paparazzi Geoff. She is now the one stumbling over her words and unable to find an answer.
Jameson uses this dead air to segue them into a commercial break. At the break, he tells her that she can’t just go speechless like that - it ruins the show for everybody. He then says his son was right, she is better looking than she seemed in the photographs. She makes a quick disgusted look to us. After the break, Jonah says that they are taking callers. The first is someone who asks her if she is ever going to enter the legal field again after what happened. She gives a pretty firm “no” answer. The second caller is a familiar voice that Jen figures out is her father Morris (Michael Richards) - unbeknownst to JJJ. This scares Jen as she isn’t sure what he is going to say. However, Morris uses this opportunity to rip into Jameson and his son, who he accuses of malpractice in giving his daughter a faulty transfusion. Jameson cuts the call off mid-rant and announces that the interview is over and thanks Jen for coming on. Jen looks to us, impressed that her dad was able to get under Jameson’s skin more than herself.
Mary finds herself seated in front of The Hood’s associates, who are displeased with her for failing and abandoning yet another mission. The Hood (Michiel Huisman) enters and echoes these sentiments. He is already under the belief that Sasha is going to sell them out to her grandfather. They will be monitoring her to eliminate her, if necessary. But in the meantime, they need someone to break into the law offices of Goodman, Liever, Kurtzberg & Holliway and raid their superhuman archives of any incriminating information on the syndicate. He gives her the contact information of a man known as the Black Cat, one of the world’s most well-known cat burglars. She will need to get him to pull it off while she will provide cover. If Mary does not go through with this final task, she will be eliminated.
Meanwhile, Jen meets with Holden Holliway (F. Murray Abraham) about potentially returning to the firm for a one-off case. She finds that Mallory Book (Kate Walsh), her former enemy-turned-colleague, is also with him. There is also someone involved in the defense that has joined them, a muscular man with blue skin and a mohawk. He introduces himself as Kallark (Eric Dane), Majestor of the Shi’ar Empire.
That rings a bell. He’s totally from space, right?
Holliway lays out the case: a superhuman, Kallark’s younger brother, has been accused of using his telepathic abilities to seduce women to sexually engage with him. This is obviously a rather unprecedented case and one that is especially suited to their Superhuman Law division. Kallark interjects and says he has specifically asked for Jen to join the case as she knows the defendant. “I do?” she asks. He shakes his head yes and slides her a picture of him: it is Star Fox (Reid Scott), Jen’s superhero mentor.
She takes a look at the camera and takes a big gulp.

Kyle Mooney .... Awesome Andy (Voice)
Stephen Tobolowsky .... Dr. Jack Cereus
Reid Scott .... Star-Fox
Plot: Just as she had before at the Daily Bugle, Jen (Jenny Slate) stands nervously in front of the offices of Goodman, Liever, Kurtzburg, & Holliway. However, this time she has decided to stick to her She-Hulk form, with specially tailored clothes to fit this form. She enters the office and it is just like old times. Mallory (Kate Walsh) and Awesome Andy (v.o. Kyle Mooney) welcome her back. She visits with Stu (Himesh Patel) down in the archives and library. He is surprised to see her in the She-Hulk form but she says she is fully comfortable in it now, no need to act like she’s something she’s not.

Plot: Just as she had before at the Daily Bugle, Jen (Jenny Slate) stands nervously in front of the offices of Goodman, Liever, Kurtzburg, & Holliway. However, this time she has decided to stick to her She-Hulk form, with specially tailored clothes to fit this form. She enters the office and it is just like old times. Mallory (Kate Walsh) and Awesome Andy (v.o. Kyle Mooney) welcome her back. She visits with Stu (Himesh Patel) down in the archives and library. He is surprised to see her in the She-Hulk form but she says she is fully comfortable in it now, no need to act like she’s something she’s not. When she leaves, Stu looks longingly and as if he wants to ask something but doesn’t.

She-Hulk - Issue #18
Genre: Superhero / Comedy / Legal
Executive Producer: Phoebe Waller-Bridge
Writer: Chad Taylor
Based on the Marvel Comics characters
Cast:
Jenny Slate .... Jennifer Walters / She-Hulk
Phoebe Waller-Bridge .... Mary MacPherran
Reid Scott .... Star-Fox
Lou Diamond Phillips .... Walter Hardy
Eric Dane .... Kallark
Plot: Mary (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) stares at her phone, having just been hung up on by Jen, who has been drifting apart since becoming a superhero. Contemplating this, she then looks to an address she has written down. After a few beats, she shakes her head yes, puts her jacket on, and heads out the door.
At the safe house, Starfox (Reid Scott) invites Jen (Jenny Slate) inside. The mood is tense as he is his usual laid-back self, which she thinks doesn’t feel right given the circumstances. Realizing this, he addresses the accusations up front and says of course they are false. Yes, he had sex with that woman but she is just feeing scorn because he never followed up. Jen looks to the camera.
Deja vu?
She asks if there is any way they can prove that he is innocent. He tells her he should be assumed innocent and proven guilty. And how is the prosecution going to prove he could do something like this? Given his cocky tone, this is not a comment that exactly instills confidence in Jen. After a brief pause, he tells her he can sense that she doesn’t believe him. This angers her as she realizes that he read her thoughts, which she says he cannot do for the remainder of this case. He profusely apologizes, but just the thought of him reading her mind has her reflecting on her initial worry. So she brings it to the table,
“I’ve got to know: have you used these mental persuasion powers on me in the past? On that island?” she asks. He sits in utter disbelief, unable to come up with an answer. She asks the same question, with an angrier tone and her skin starting to turn green. “Look...look...I explain why you might feel that way. I-”. At this point in his sentence, Jen is in full She-Hulk mode and lets out a primal roar at Starfox, whose eyes are wallowing in fear. She-Hulk charges at him and a full-on fight ensues.
Mary arrives at a nice but innocuous home in Yonkers. She double-checks to make sure the address is correct. She knocks and Walter Hardy (Lou Diamond Phillips) answers. Seeing how she is dressed, he assumes she is a solicitor and says he’s not interested. As he is shutting the door, Mary interjects her hand into the frame, causing the door to slam into her wrist. She briefly nurses it before saying she is not a canvasser or anything. She was sent on the orders of the Hood. He has a nervous look of fear in his eyes and then invites her in, offering to get her some ice for her injury.
She tells him she knows who he is, the famed Black Cat. Well, she didn’t know who he was before she entered the underworld but Hood gave her a rundown. He’s one of the most well-skilled burglars in the United States. “So I assume that means he’s asking you to recruit me for a job? And that he didn’t mention that I’ve retired from that kind of thing?” he asks. Mary says that she did not know that. But fret not: the job sounds rather simple as they just have to steal some documents from the law firm. Hardy laughs at her use of the world “simple”. He says that there is always some sort of catch with the syndicate.
She begs him, saying that her life might be on the line if he says no. He stands up and tours her around the home, showing off some of the valuable things he has stolen over time. He then tells her that none of these are as valuable to him as his daughter. That’s why he’s out of the game. He’s helping her get through college and is content with living out his retirement as a father and not a burglar. As he is talking, Mary notices a pair of diamond earrings that look valuable. He tells her that he is sorry to hear about her predicament but that she is going to need to find some different avenue.
Realizing that she is not going to convince him, she tells him she understands and leaves. As she walks away from the home, she reveals the diamond earrings and smirks at the camera.
Who’s the jewel thief now, eh?
Back with She-Hulk, her fight with Starfox is spreading throughout the New York City streets. He is fighting back while also trying to stop the fight, while she is demanding the truth in between punches. Since Starfox can fly, he tries to get away from her but She-Hulk runs up the side of a build and pushes off from it and catches him in mid-air. As they are falling, he is apologetic and swears that he did not trick her.
Suddenly, their bodies freeze but they continue falling - giving terrified looks on both of their faces. However, we soon learn that is the work of Kallark (Eric Dane), Starfox’s brother, who is more powerful than the both of them. He grabs them both by the collar and stops their fall. He has a stone cold look on his face.
“Enough.”
He shoots towards the sky, bringing them both with him into the stars.

She-Hulk - Issue #19
Genre: Superhero / Comedy / Legal
Executive Producer: Phoebe Waller-Bridge
Writer: Chad Taylor
Based on the Marvel Comics characters
Cast:
Jenny Slate .... Jennifer Walters / She-Hulk
Phoebe Waller-Bridge .... Mary MacPherran
Himesh Patel .... Stu Cicero
Reid Scott .... Star-Fox
Lou Diamond Phillips .... Walter Hardy
Eric Dane .... Kallark
Michiel Huisman .... The Hood
Maggie Q .... The Living Tribunal
Plot: The planet Chandilar, a technologically advanced planet that is part of the Shi’ar Empire. Kallark (Eric Dane) is the well-respected leader of the Imperial Guard, called by his title of “Gladiator”. He gives a tour of its capital to She-Hulk (Jenny Slate), whose green form does not stand out as much with the various alien races of the Shi’ar.
He leads her to the Court of Justice, where Starfox (Reid Scott) sits shackled up awaiting people to arrive at the court. However, Gladiator informs his brother that he will not be facing a public trial. Instead, he will be judged solely by the Living Tribunal - a cosmic arbiter of justice throughout the galaxy. She-Hulk is surprised to hear this and inquires about why Gladiator has decided to shift the trial to here. He tells her that the Living Tribunal can penetrate a being’s memory, and thus access the ultimate truth.
She-Hulk starts to argue with Gladiator, saying that the case was brought to her on Earth and she wants to be the one to fight for it on Earth. He responds that her fighting with Starfox shows that his brother made the wrong choice in choosing his attorney. She-Hulk’s intensity strengthens and she says that the accused crimes have nothing to do with the Sh’iar Empire. She is starting to get on Gladiator’s nerves but their argument is interrupted by a violet-skinned woman entering the court.
She introduces herself as The Living Tribunal (Maggie Q), or at least one of the physical representatives of the cosmic being. She takes the seat at the front of the court and She-Hulk and Gladiator take their seats to hear the verdict. She reads out Starfox’s full name and the crimes that he is being accused of. She says that The Living Tribunal’s first priority is fairness in the name of the law. And because this case was already started on Earth, the trial must occur there. She-Hulk smirks at the camera. Gladiator is furious and follows the Living Tribunal’s representative out of the court. Meanwhile, Starfox turns to She-Hulk and swears that he did not commit any crimes - against the alleged victim not against her. She tells him that she believes him but that she is going to borrow a page from The Living Tribunal’s playbook as she knows someone who might be able to read memories.
Before she has Starfox take her back to Earth, she communicates with Stu (Himesh Patel) and tells him that the case is back on so to start looking in the archives for anything on mind manipulation. Before she hangs up, Stu asks if she’d finally like to go out on that date when this is all over. She says that after the last few weeks she’s had, she’d really like that.
Back on Earth, Mary (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) is in her full supervillain gear as Titania. She nervously evades security and breaks into the building that houses GLKH. She has some close calls but is fairly successful at staying out of view of the cameras. She decides to maneuver through the ventilation system like thieves do in the movies, and navigates her way to “The Basement” - where the archives of comics are housed, and thus incriminating evidence against the Hood’s syndicate.
She starts to pick through the files and find the ones that the Hood sent her out for. She is interrupted by the sound of keys hitting the floor. She turns around and finds a dumbfounded Stu looking in shock (although unable to recognize Mary given her costume). She isn’t sure what to do at first and then tells him to let her get what she needs and leave and no one will get hurt. She sees him reach towards something and warns him that any sudden movements and she will have to hurt him as her life is truly on the line here.
However, they both are interrupted by a third person: Walter, the Black Cat (Lou Diamond Phillips). He starts to list off the various rookie mistakes that would’ve gotten Titania caught had he not cut the security feed to aid his own break-in. He’s come here because he knew that she would be here and she has something that belongs to him: the diamond earrings. She laughs this off, saying that he can’t say something that he stole belongs to him. He says he did not steal those, they belonged to his late wife.
Stu, still nervous, slowly moves to tap a button in his pocket and whispers “Jen, The Basement, ASAP”. Titania hears this in the corner of her ear and quickly reacts to punch Stu. Given her super-strength, this sends him ten feet across the room and causes him to hit his head on a cabinet on the way down. A pool of blood starts to gather under his head and she is now in a state of shock. With split-second thinking, she yells “catch!” to Walter as she throws him the earrings. As he catches them, she leg-sweeps him to bring him to the ground, causing his head to ricochet off of the ground on the way down.
With two people that look out of it, she takes the files and makes her exit the way she came in. Meanwhile, Walter starts to wake up and isn’t sure where he is. She-Hulk comes busting through the wall and finds Stu’s body with the pool of blood. She goes over to him and finds that with no pulse. She caresses his body while letting out a scream of anguish. This multitude of emotions means that she has little control over her body, which causes her form to alternate between She-Hulk and Jen. She then sees Walter in his burglar gear, assuming he did it. This solidifies her as She-Hulk as she is so angry that she could kill. With Stu’s blood on her hands (literally, not figuratively), she grabs Walter and holds him up in the air. Suffering from some memory loss, he swears he doesn’t know what happened but her eyes are glazed over in a rage of fury. However, her sadness soon returns, causing her to simply tie Walter up as she contacts the proper authorities - realizing that she cannot be the judge, jury, and executioner.
She holds Stu’s body as EMTs arrive and the police are not far behind, arresting Walter for Stu’s murder. This is cross-cut with Mary arriving at the lair of the Hood (Michiel Huisman) and delivering the documents. She does not look pleased with herself but at least her life has been spared. We end on a side-by-side of both her and Jen’s eyes, both looking in anguish.

Previously on SHE-HULK: After a visit with The Living Tribunal, Jen has convinced Kallark that she must defend his brother (and her former mentor) Starfox on Earth and not on Chandilar. However, she is still not sure if she herself wasn't a victim of Starfox's accused mind manipulation. On Earth, she was shocked to find the Stu's lifeless body - unbeknownst to her at the hands of Mary after a botched burglary attempt.
“So do you finally want to go on that date we’ve talked about before?”
Ears are ringing as Jen (Jenny Slate) sits alone in her apartment, isolated from the rest of the world. She can’t even bring herself to go to Stu’s funeral. She feels like she is at least partially to blame for not being on Earth to be there for him. She misses multiple phone calls from people trying to reach her.
Why was I the one cursed with these powers? It seems like ever since I have become She-Hulk, the people around me get hurt. I’m not sure how much longer I can do this.
In the lair of the Hood (Michiel Huisman), Mary (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) makes a request. She asks if she can be transferred to London to lay groundwork for the syndicate’s work there as she feels at risk in NYC. The Hood likes that she is forward-thinking and accepts the request. He says that the time is right to expand internationally.
After packing her belongings, she sits down to write a letter. It is addressed to “The She-Hulk”. It praises the work that she has done for NYC and how she has become an idol to many young girls, J. Jonah Jameson be damned. She says that evil will likely never stop existing and thus people like She-Hulk must never stop existing either. She addresses it from “A Fan”. She sends it in the mail and then leaves for the airport.
At the trial, Jen reveals that she has brought in an expert witness for the case. Robert Reynolds (Scott Porter) enters the courtroom. Jen says that Robert will use his powers to perform a mind probe on Starfox (Reid Scott) to the events occurred the way he claimed. As Robert prepares, Jen is very nervous herself as she has a personal stake in this. If Starfox is lying to her about this, then he is probably lying to her about their own encounter as well. The courtroom sits in baited breath as Robert does his thing. He gets the results and reports back: Starfox did not use his powers for sexual persuasion. Jen lets out a sigh of relief while Starfox takes her hand and says that he told her so. Gladiator (Eric Dane) sits in the back and nods acceptingly.
However, only moments after, Robert’s eyes start to turn black. Jen flashes back to when she and Stu learned about Robert’s power. “Now that The Sentry is activated, it opens the door for its dark side as well...The Void.” The same Void that killed hundreds of people and necessitated Robert having his memory erased. Robert starts screaming in agony, asking what is going on. Tentacles with claws at the end start to emerge from his back as his skin turns red. He starts swiping at the judge and jury as people begin to flee the courtroom.
The court’s bailiff pulls out his gun at the Void but Jen begs him not to shoot, as she is afraid it will hurt Robert underneath. Meanwhile, Starfox and Gladiator stay behind - ready to fight. Jen wants to join them but can’t get herself to turn into She-Hulk. She hasn’t since Stu’s death and is finding it hard to summon the emotion to do so. Gladiator is one of the most powerful beings in the galaxy but is finding the Void to be a formidable foe. The Void breaks out onto the streets and starts attacking innocent civilians. Jen joins in the fight to stop him, even though she is in human form. It starts to go on a rampage through the Manhattan streets as Starfox and Gladiator attempt to stop it.
The Void reaches the Brooklyn Bridge, where it starts throwing cars off of the bridge (which Starfox and Gladiator fly to catch before they hit the water). Jen, feeling guilty for awakening the entity in the first place on top of the other mistakes she feels she has made, stands in the middle of the road and offers herself. The Void grabs her and climbs to one of the top of the bridge’s towers. He holds her in both of his hands and she closes her eyes.
Jen is in a hospital room, sitting next to her comatose mother Sheila (Fiona Shaw). She is holding her hand and leaning her head against Sheila’s. A tear runs down her cheek as she tells her mother to “find the strength.”
Find the strength…
Back on the bridge, green veins begin to protrude from Jen’s skin. Her teeth are clenched. As the She-Hulk emerges, she leaps from the Void’s hands and into the air - letting out a primal scream like she did upon finding Stu’s body. She comes back down and punches The Void. They fight as Gladiator and Starfox clean up the debris and prevent it from hitting any harmless citizens. Jen grabs one of the steel suspension cables and rips it from the bridge. She instructs Gladiator and Starfox to hold him down as she uses her strength to wrap the steel cables around the Void’s body. Starfox says that they can throw it in the ocean but Jen says that Robert is her friend and that she will not be doing that. She instructs Gladiator that he must take the Void into space so that it poses no more threat to humans, until it transforms back to Robert. Gladiator nods his head and follows the orders. As she and Starfox stand exhausted, the people on the bridge begin to clap and thank them for saving them. She gets goosebumps from this moment.
In a white room, we see Paul Jenkins (Mike White) overseeing the erasure of Robert Reynolds’s memory. This is inactivating the Void but also the Sentry.

Jen goes to the cemetery on the anniversary of her mother’s death. Her father Morris (Michael Richards) is there waiting and they share a long hug. He tells her how proud her mother would be of her. She lays a new batch of flowers next to the headstone. Morris tells her that he’s been trying to get ahold of her for a few weeks. She says she was obviously busy and apologizes. He says that it has to do with her powers. Through his months of research, he has found that the military conducted a series of gamma radiation experiments and the blood transfusion she received must have been from someone from that team. Not only is this what they need to sue John Jameson but...it also means that there might be more out there like her.
Jen gives him a lengthy stare before saying that she doesn’t think they need to sue Jameson. She views She-Hulk as a blessing and not a curse and that she is committed to making a change in the world using her powers. While looking a bit defeated, he tells her he understands. She then tells him he is starting to sound like a conspiracy theorist and says that it might be time to cancel his subscription to the Bugle. He tells her he did that months ago and she gives him a “uh-huh, sure” look. They hug and say goodbye.
You know what’s kind of weird to think about? This is the birthplace of She-Hulk. A cemetery. Morbid? Cool? I don’t know, just a thought.

Previously on SHE-HULK: After a visit with The Living Tribunal, Jen has convinced Kallark that she must defend his brother (and her former mentor) Starfox on Earth and not on Chandilar. However, she is still not sure if she herself wasn't a victim of Starfox's accused mind manipulation. On Earth, she was shocked to find the Stu's lifeless body - unbeknownst to her at the hands of Mary after a botched burglary attempt.
“So do you finally want to go on that date we’ve talked about before?”
Ears are ringing as Jen (Jenny Slate) sits alone in her apartment, isolated from the rest of the world. She can’t even bring herself to go to Stu’s funeral. She feels like she is at least partially to blame for not being on Earth to be there for him. She misses multiple phone calls from people trying to reach her.
Why was I the one cursed with these powers? It seems like ever since I have become She-Hulk, the people around me get hurt. I’m not sure how much longer I can do this.
In the lair of the Hood (Michiel Huisman), Mary (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) makes a request. She asks if she can be transferred to London to lay groundwork for the syndicate’s work there as she feels at risk in NYC. The Hood likes that she is forward-thinking and accepts the request. He says that the time is right to expand internationally.
After packing her belongings, she sits down to write a letter. It is addressed to “The She-Hulk”. It praises the work that she has done for NYC and how she has become an idol to many young girls, J. Jonah Jameson be damned. She says that evil will likely never stop existing and thus people like She-Hulk must never stop existing either. She addresses it from “A Fan”. She sends it in the mail and then leaves for the airport.
At the trial, Jen reveals that she has brought in an expert witness for the case. Robert Reynolds (Scott Porter) enters the courtroom. Jen says that Robert will use his powers to perform a mind probe on Starfox (Reid Scott) to the events occurred the way he claimed. As Robert prepares, Jen is very nervous herself as she has a personal stake in this. If Starfox is lying to her about this, then he is probably lying to her about their own encounter as well. The courtroom sits in baited breath as Robert does his thing. He gets the results and reports back: Starfox did not use his powers for sexual persuasion. Jen lets out a sigh of relief while Starfox takes her hand and says that he told her so. Gladiator (Eric Dane) sits in the back and nods acceptingly.
However, only moments after, Robert’s eyes start to turn black. Jen flashes back to when she and Stu learned about Robert’s power. “Now that The Sentry is activated, it opens the door for its dark side as well...The Void.” The same Void that killed hundreds of people and necessitated Robert having his memory erased. Robert starts screaming in agony, asking what is going on. Tentacles with claws at the end start to emerge from his back as his skin turns red. He starts swiping at the judge and jury as people begin to flee the courtroom.
The court’s bailiff pulls out his gun at the Void but Jen begs him not to shoot, as she is afraid it will hurt Robert underneath. Meanwhile, Starfox and Gladiator stay behind - ready to fight. Jen wants to join them but can’t get herself to turn into She-Hulk. She hasn’t since Stu’s death and is finding it hard to summon the emotion to do so. Gladiator is one of the most powerful beings in the galaxy but is finding the Void to be a formidable foe. The Void breaks out onto the streets and starts attacking innocent civilians. Jen joins in the fight to stop him, even though she is in human form. It starts to go on a rampage through the Manhattan streets as Starfox and Gladiator attempt to stop it.
The Void reaches the Brooklyn Bridge, where it starts throwing cars off of the bridge (which Starfox and Gladiator fly to catch before they hit the water). Jen, feeling guilty for awakening the entity in the first place on top of the other mistakes she feels she has made, stands in the middle of the road and offers herself. The Void grabs her and climbs to one of the top of the bridge’s towers. He holds her in both of his hands and she closes her eyes.
Jen is in a hospital room, sitting next to her comatose mother Sheila (Fiona Shaw). She is holding her hand and leaning her head against Sheila’s. A tear runs down her cheek as she tells her mother to “find the strength.”
Find the strength…
Back on the bridge, green veins begin to protrude from Jen’s skin. Her teeth are clenched. As the She-Hulk emerges, she leaps from the Void’s hands and into the air - letting out a primal scream like she did upon finding Stu’s body. She comes back down and punches The Void. They fight as Gladiator and Starfox clean up the debris and prevent it from hitting any harmless citizens. Jen grabs one of the steel suspension cables and rips it from the bridge. She instructs Gladiator and Starfox to hold him down as she uses her strength to wrap the steel cables around the Void’s body. Starfox says that they can throw it in the ocean but Jen says that Robert is her friend and that she will not be doing that. She instructs Gladiator that he must take the Void into space so that it poses no more threat to humans, until it transforms back to Robert. Gladiator nods his head and follows the orders. As she and Starfox stand exhausted, the people on the bridge begin to clap and thank them for saving them. She gets goosebumps from this moment.
