She-Hulk: Ceremony #1
She-Hulk: Ceremony #1
First comes love.
The comes marriage.
Then comes She-Hulk with a baby carriage.
...but not necessarily in that order.
A few years ago, a gamma-irradiated blood transfusion transformed assistant district attorney Jennifer Walters into the six-foot, seven inch green-skinned powerhouse that the world has come to know as the Sensational She-Hulk.
Since then, with her fierce sense of justice always tempered by her warmth, keen wit and good nature, the She-Hulk has selflessly used her incredible strength in the service of humanity.
But today her concerns are more personal. She-Hulk thinks she hears her biological clock ticking - and the sound raises some serious questions. Is it a family she wants, or just the love of the right man? Is it even responsible for a woman in her line of work to have a family?
She-Hulk's surprising solution to her problems is inextricably bound up in her relationship with Wyatt Wingfoot, chief of Oklahoma's Keewazi Indians, and their battle against Carlton Beatrice, an evil corporate executive who is also a Shaman... Carlton has turned all of his resources, both Corporate and Mystic, to a plot that threatens not only Wyatt Wingfoot's Keewazi Indian Reservation, but ultimately the very soul of every living being on Earth. And alone, She-Hulk has no hope of stopping him.

About the author
Dwayne McDuffie
429 books71 followersDwayne McDuffie was an American writer of comic books and television. His notable works included creating the animated series Static Shock, writing and producing the animated series Justice League Unlimited, and co-founding the comic book company Milestone Media.
He co-hosted a radio comedy program, and also wrote under a pseudonym for stand-up comedians and late-night television comedy programs. While working as a copy-editor for a financial magazine, a friend got him an interview for an assistant editor position at Marvel Comics.
While on staff at Marvel as Bob Budiansky's assistant on special projects, McDuffie also scripted stories for the company. His first major work was Damage Control, a series about the company that shows up between issues and tidies up the mess left by the latest round of superhero/supervillain battles. While an editor at Marvel, he submitted a spoof proposal for a comic entitled Teenage Negro Ninja Thrasher in response to Marvel's treatment of its black characters. Becoming a freelancer in early 1990, McDuffie followed that with dozens of various comics titles for Marvel comics, DC Comics, and Archie Comics.
In 1992, wanting to express a multi-cultural sensibility that he felt was missing in comic books, McDuffie co-founded Milestone Media, a comic book company owned by African-Americans.
After Milestone had ceased publishing new comics, Static was developed into an animated series Static Shock. McDuffie was hired to write and story-edit on the series, writing 11 episodes.
McDuffie was hired as a staff writer for the animated series Justice League and was promoted to story editor and producer as the series became Justice League Unlimited. During the entire run of the animated series, McDuffie wrote, produced, or story-edited 69 out of the 91 episodes. McDuffie also wrote the story for the video game Justice League Heroes.
McDuffie was hired to help revamp and story-edit Cartoon Network's popular animated Ben 10 franchise with Ben 10: Alien Force, continuing the adventures of the ten-year-old title character into his mid and late teenage years. During the run of the series, McDuffie wrote episode 1-3, 14, 25-28, 45 and 46 and/or story-edited all forty-six episodes.
On February 22, 2011, McDuffie died from complications due to a surgical procedure performed the previous evening.

The elements that make She-Hulk so great, great humor and fun action, are more scarce in this story. But the 80's art is beautiful and stands the test of time!

Ho recentemente recuperato questa storia in due albi. In Italia la pubblicò la Max Bunker Press, ma all'epoca me la persi, perché quella rivista costava troppo per me. Recuperata in originale dopo tanti anni, posso solo dire che questo primo numero è eccellente.
Il compianto McDuffie sapeva scrivere ottime storie già all'epoca e June Brigman ai disegni l'ho sempre apprezzata. Una disegnatrice dalle solide basi e dal buon story-telling, uno stile classico e funzionale alla storia. La storia, del 1989, non è una storia di super eroi, anche se She-Hulk lo è. Ma questo aspetto è secondario nella narrazione; l'aspetto primario riguarda il suo rapporto con Wyatt Wyangfoot, con la maternità, con il matrimonio. Questa è una storia che parla di magia, della magia femminile ben simbolizzata dal cesto con le farfalle. Parla anche della scelta di avere o meno figli, lancia una critica sottile agli antiabortisti ed una critica meno sottile e più marcata sul profitto e l'arrivismo. In fondo è una lotta tra l'egoismo ed i legami di amicizia, amore, famiglia.

I didn’t read much of Jen and Wyatt’s relationship when that was a thing so I was surprised by the intensity of their feelings in this one.
Then again, I didn’t love how Jen was portrayed. Coming from her Byrne era, this is a let down.
Anyway, there are some stereotypical Native American things going on but I’m really only interested in what happens with Wyatt and Jen.
Also, there was a moment that had me questioning the continuity (of course).

Found this in a bargain bin at the local comic book store and was immediately intrigued. I know next to nothing about She-Hulk and her story but I was drawn to her world. The feminist undertones were surface level but yet still refreshing. And the art is perfect.
