Russell Dauterman’s cover art for She-Hulk beautifully depicts Jennifer Walters’ outfits from Avengers, Fantastic Four and her own solo series.
A new variant cover for She-Hulk shows off some of the hero’s most sensational and savage costumes.
The cover, illustrated by Russell Dauterman, depicts more than a dozen of the hero’s different outfits, from the torn clothes of her first appearance to her cosmic Avengers attire. The cover is the latest in Dauterman’s series of variants that capture the ever-evolving looks of Marvel’s iconic heroes. The artist has also drawn similarly themed variants for titles such as Avengers Forever, Inferno and Excalibur.
Jennifer Walters was introduced to comic book audiences as the cousin of Bruce Banner in the pages of 1980’s Savage She-Hulk #1 by Stan Lee and John Buscema. After a mobster shot Jen, Bruce used his gamma-radiated blood for a transfusion, which not only saved Jen’s life but also unintentionally gave her a form of his Hulk powers. Though Marvel created She-Hulk to secure the copyright to the name and prevent CBS from creating a female-led spinoff of the Incredible Hulk TV show without its involvement, the character quickly took on a life of her own, joining the Avengers and Fantastic Four. By the time she helmed her second series, Sensational She-Hulk, Jen had become a fun-loving superhero with her own unique voice — one she occasionally used to break her comics’ fourth wall.
In the ensuing decades, She-Hulk has appeared in nearly every corner of the Marvel Universe, which Dauterman’s art depicts. She has taken on a brutish appearance in recent years, rejoining the Avengers as their resident powerhouse. Unlike prior incarnations of the character, this “Hulk” did not retain Jen’s intelligence and spoke in stilted dialogue. However, after going undercover in the Winter Guard as the Winter Hulk, Jen dispelled the excessive radiation she had gained from her body, reverting her to her traditional status quo.
Marvel’s current She-Hulk series comes from writer Rainbow Rowell and artist Rogê Antônio and focuses on the titular hero’s efforts to focus on her personal life. In the book’s debut issue, Jen’s first night in her new apartment was interrupted by the return of Jack of Hearts, a fellow Avenger whom Jen thought had died years ago. Moving forward, Jack will be a recurring character in She-Hulk, Fantastic Four and Silver Surfer: Rebirth.
Outside of her solo series, Jen will be a significant player in the upcoming Fantastic Four storyline, “The Reckoning War.” The book is written by Dan Slott and drawn by Carlos Pacheco and Rachael Stott, and picks up plot points planted by Slott during his time writing She-Hulk in the 2000s. The story centers on a secret war that took place in Marvel’s history and how the repercussions of that war impact the modern tapestry of its universe.
She-Hulk #4, written by Rainbow Rowell and illustrated by Rogê Antônio, goes on sale April 13 from Marvel Comics.
