Oct 18, 2023With a dynamic approach to storytelling and aesthetics, and an unabashed love for Shulkie herself, Sensational She-Hulk #1 might be the character's best debut issue yet. Read Full Review

Oct 21, 2023It is great having the original team back together for the new series. For those who followed the first run, it feels like it never ended. For new readers, there is not a lot lost if you want to catch up. I'm just happy my favorite green bombshell is back. Read Full Review

AIPT - David Brooke
Oct 18, 2023A lot of folks are going to love Sensational She-Hulk for its sharply written characters and relationship drama. Even beyond that, it's a can't-miss series integrating characters throughout the Marvel Universe big and small while reminding us this universe is fast with colorful characters. Dare I say it packs the excellent internal narrative of Sex and the City into superhero storytelling. Read Full Review

Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Lainez
Oct 19, 2023Sensational She-Hulk #1 is an absolute joy to read from beginning to end. Rainbow Rowell and Andres Genolet are at the top of their game with how they present She-Hulk along with her supporting cast and world. The pacing is excellent, and it all leads to a strong hook ending with the appearance of the Hulk. It all comes together for a must-buy comic book. Read Full Review

Major Spoilers - Matthew Peterson
Oct 20, 2023The end of the last issue of her previous series leads right into this one, with the same writer, the same cast and the same status quo. It's quite good, but it's a weird place to relaunch. Read Full Review

Henchman-4-Hire - Sean Ian Mills
Oct 21, 2023She-Hulk is back like it never left, for both good or ill. But just because I don't like a particular storyline doesn't mean the writing, artwork and character development aren't super fun. Read Full Review

Geek'd Out - Nico Sprezzatura
Oct 18, 2023But that might be an unfair critique, because Sensational She-Hulk #1 is otherwise perfectly fun and readable just as it was before. Id really like to see Rowell have a long run with the character as she did with her previous Runways tenure, and returning artist Andrs Genolet doesnt skip a beat with his playful and expressive visuals, rendered in bright candy colors from Dee Cunniffe. Its all good, if not especially fantastic by Shulkies standards, but in this instance her main villain is one shared by all superheroes in one way or another: expectations. Read Full Review

Weird Science Marvel Comics - mrgabehernandez
Oct 18, 2023The Sensational She-Hulk #1 continues the exact same story with the exact same creative team from the previously canceled run to deliver a directionless, unfunny, slice-of-life comic. If you liked the previous arc, this is more of the same. Points were deducted for Marvel's shameless renumbering scheme. Read Full Review

The author and artist haven't lost a single step as they launch into this delightful new volume. Jen's life remains as enthralling, sweet, and troubled as ever. Things are going great with Jack, the words assure us--while the art hints that the words are overly optimistic. And there's plenty of activity and comedy to distract Jen and the readers.

Had a great time with this one, picks up the pace, makes better use of the space. In Rowell, I trust!

I wasn't super crazy about this debut, but I still liked it. I'm not sure why Marvel decided to relaunch this with the "Sensational" title, especially when there wasn't really much else that changed here. This felt more like She-Hulk #16 instead of Sensational She-Hulk #1. Either way, I'm interested by how Jen and Jack's relationship is progressing, as well as the possible doubts Jen seems to be feeling. I do think the ending was a little random and sudden, but I'm intrigued to see why Bruce is being brought into this. As for the backup, it was nice, but I don't really think it was needed.

Jen's back with one of her iconic monikers, but this new #1 is definitely a headscratcher. The creative team and timeline is the same, but as the editor's note indicates, Marvel saw this as an opportunity to "capitalize" on the popularity of the run to draw in new readers. If that's truly the case, Rainbow Rowell does a great job of catching new readers up on the current status quo without sacrificing the pacing of the issue. Rowell's run on the character has been a refreshing update that keeps things consistent with Jen's personality in her Disney+ series (which was many readers' first exposure to the character and helped form what they'd expect going forward), while still giving the comic book version space to carve out her own place.
