The Savage She-Hulk (1980) #1
#finally read Jen’s first appearance#I was surprised to see that Jen didn’t know that her cousin Bruce was the Hulk before he re-entered her life#I like how while he’s in and out of her life quickly for the sake of an origin story but having her be a separate character#that there isn’t any conflict between Bruce and Jen#though it is a bit silly that he doesn’t seem to consider that a blood transfusion on him would have any effect on her#but I specifically like that while Jen had wanted to help Bruce#she recognizes that she’s got to forget about Bruce for a while and deal with this current situation in her life#prior to changing for the first time Jen thinks about how she’s ‘so frail so powerless’#which I’m reading as regarding her current situation recovering in the hospital from a gunshot wound#rather than that she thinks of herself as frail and powerless as a default thing#her first transformation is connected to both an attempt on her life and instense anger#‘a burning blazing all-consuming rage flows through her veins like hot seething lava’#which is actually more dramatic than I’m used to seeing Bruce’s anger being described as#where it’s more that he’s trying to avoid feeling any level of anger not just intense anger#and also that story-wise they can’t have him like that all the time#because there needs to be stories that emotionally effect him more than others#so I’m curious to see how that’ll be approached with Jen moving forward#i.e. if there will be more reliance on life-threatening situations than angering situations?#or if they’ll be moving away from those being the triggering experiences fairly quickly?#marvel#bruce banner#jennifer walters#my posts#comic panels
