Take Me to Your Leader: A She-Hulk Sketchbook

Jen Walters Must Die!

…will be the name of this story’s first arc! On November 8, the sensational attorney-turned-super hero enters Marvel Legacy with SHE-HULK #159!

Writer Mariko Tamaki and artist Jahnoy Lindsay present Jen with a new enemy: The Leader. And our hero will do her best to fend him—and that title reference—off as a new era begins for She-Hulk.

We sat down with Jahnoy to hear about Jen’s new look, the Leader’s role, and working with Tamaki.

Marvel.com: Jen’s been through a lot in the past few years. How has all that changed her from a physical perspective?

Jahnoy Lindsay: I think she’s gotten much tougher, which seems kind of weird to think of because she’s always been such a strong character.

Marvel.com: We get a new version of She-Hulk in this book. How has it been getting used to this new style?

Jahnoy Lindsay: Admittedly, it has been a bit challenging, but definitely a ton of fun. I really want to convey just how monstrous and powerful this new She-Hulk can be.

Marvel.com: The Leader’s always been an interesting foil to whatever Hulk he faces—he’s the perfect physical counterpoint to raw power.

Jahnoy Lindsay: Absolutely—it’s the classic battle of brains vs. brawn.

Marvel.com: Mariko’s been steering the SHE-HULK ship for about a year now. How has it been working with her?

Jahnoy Lindsay: It’s been great! Her scripts are easy for me to follow and not too restricting, so I’m able to have fun and do my thing. I feel very blessed to be working with her—and my Editor, Christina Harrington—my first time around.

SHE-HULK #159, by writer Mariko Tamaki and artist Jahnoy Lindsay, drops on November 8!
