We review the story of Dan Jurgens She-Hulk: Single and Green, volume of SMASH and Marvel Comics Mexico that inspired the Marvel Studios series
She-Hulk: Single and Green, Marvel Comics according to our times
Although Spider-Man is the maximum exponent of that premise on which Stan Lee, along with legendary artists such as Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko, built the Marvel Universe, revolutionizing the world of comics at the time, which sought that in the adventures of the characters “superpowers were as important as the person who had them”; It’s She-Hulk.
Do not miss The keys that gave prestige to She-Hulk: Green and Single
Jennifer Walters is the one who in recent years has been in charge of keeping this slogan up to date and taking it to unexpected levels. Especially for two aspects, the first of which is the result of the scenario in which she develops, either in her average human version or looking giant and green. And that she brings to the legal field the implications of having extraordinary abilities.
This allows delving into the concept of the superhero, questioning in an ironic way and from the perspective of the ordinary citizen the traits that define him. Contrasting it with our daily life, which in turn is exposed, by pointing out important issues such as social reintegration within its lightness.
The battles beyond the court
The second, and perhaps the most important, is the rethinking of roles that she presents by leaving the battles with the supervillains as a backdrop, to focus on those that unfortunately a girl still has to fight in a misogynistic and prejudiced social environment where being independent , professional and sexually active, is seen by men as something threatening both at work and sentimentally.
This, coupled with the ambiguity that arises from the fact that in the spaces that should be natural for Jennifer Walters, she is often more appreciated as her Hulk version, and vice versa, which affects her self-esteem and is reflected in the way she assimilates and takes advantage of the possibilities that this offers you as a partner and co-worker.
It is these elements that make her a model of a female character very much in keeping with our times permeated by a necessary demand for gender equity, and also gives her an identity beyond being the female variant of one of the Marvel classics, to the extent that the best of his adventures are those where everyday life is the main ingredient.
Such is the case of the plot arc presented by SMASH in a single volume that concerns us today, and that could not have a better title, Single and Green.
The inspiration behind the series
Written by the always daring and sometimes controversial Dan Slott (remember that he is responsible for the death of Spider-Man in that #700 of The Amazing Spider-Man), here we find a handful of small episodes where while our protagonist tries to reconcile two facets of his life.
One that has led her to exceed the benefits and possibilities offered by being a successful lawyer and another to be a member of the Avengers, pushing coexistence and responsibility to the limit; resolves legal questions that offer perspectives as unexpected and peculiar as they are fun and interesting, regarding superheroes immersed in processes where even comics within fiction also function as a kind of archive record and resource.
We have from those that show how a ghost intends to take advantage of the nooks and crannies of the system to file a lawsuit, going through a crazy escape of criminals that makes some winks at the transgression of dignity, to the lawsuit filed by a worker against a huge corporation, due to to an accident that turned him into an atomic man, which takes the subject to the field of domestic disputes.
law humor
Of course, all with a refreshing pop air visual style defined by subtle strokes, and the inclusion of popular characters like The Thing and the good Spidey, who by the way has the luxury of suing J. Jonah Jameson himself, giving rise to a reencounter with that carefree and simple tone of his adventures in the old cartoons.
In addition, in Single and Green, contrary to the series released by Disney Plus, the law firm that hires She Hulk, what is required is that during her performance in offices and courts she appears as Jennifer. A difference that makes this comic the ideal accompaniment for said production.
