With Marvel’s lineup of shows on Disney+, there is a lot of content building up. This means keeping up with the related comics can be tricky. Luckily not all the comics have to be read if you want to stay ahead of the shows with your reading. As far as I can tell from the preview we got last week, Marvel is sticking amazingly close to the comics. Check out these She-Hulk comic runs to see how close they got.

The following is my list of essential reading for those looking to catch up on She-hulk solo comics before the attorney at law releases this August. These are all excellent entry points to the She-Hulk comics, however, with comics, there is almost always related material and connections to other characters and issues. Keep an eye out for other comics that relate to the She-Hulk runs if something catches your interest. Some of those will be highlighted below as well.

Savage She-Hulk Vol. 1 (1980 – 1982)

This is where it all began. Jennifer Walters, Attorney is shot by those that would see her silenced for her work on a specific case. The only person who can give her the life-saving blood transfusion she needs is her Superhero cousin Bruce Banner a.k.a. The Incredible Hulk. All that Gamma-contaminated blood running through her quickly turns her into the Savage She-Hulk.
