She-Hulk - Deconstructed

 

Wow, I am really out of touch with the She-Hulk these days - this is a collection of 2017 stories and I have little idea of what the back story is that these are based on. She-Hulk apparently "barely survived the Second Civil War" (I missed that story line completely) and so she is no longer the fun'n'funny'n'sexy adventurer who preferred being the She-Hulk and she has returned to her Jennifer Walters identity. She also returns to her advocation as a lawyer, but here she is representing super-natural beings, including one who is apparently psychic, psychopathic and able to conjure deadly creations. 

Walters is severely traumatized and barely holding herself together when she is confronted by the manifestations conjured by her client, who misunderstands Walters' intent and attacks Jen. The She-Hulk who appears is monstrous, not the former heroic beauty, and is barely in control of herself.

This character has taken on many different facades, from the free-wheeling original to the outright goofy (that the TV show was based on, from what I understand - I have not seen that yet, either) to this trauma victim. Can't say that this is an enjoyable read, but it gives a different take on the character. Wonder how this turned out?!
