The series gets better in its second half.
Jen's cop father is a jerkwad and a wanker, ACAB.

Finished reading the original run. Wow, this was a ride.
From relationship problems to family problems to big old self-identity crises, this run has it all.
I really enjoyed all of the ups and downs that Shulkie goes through in these last 11 issues. This run really helps to hammer in the situation behind why Jennifer Walters prefers to stay as She-Hulk even though she can easily transform between both forms. She tries to live both lives, but sadly life keeps on taking a toll on both sides of the coin.
One of the things I loved about this is that 6 issue arc to finish up the run. In this arc, she kept going up against enemies that possessed what I would classify as OP powers. I was literally reading these issues mournfully thinking: "They're really going to waste these powers on Villains-of-the-week that we're never going to hear about again?" Because these powers were amazing, why waste them on some no-name character that never made any impact in the Marvel universe. Well, I can safely say that David surprised me with what he did. I'll still gripe about it, but I can't complain about its execution.
So ends She-Hulk's first titular run. But this Masterworks has a neat little bonus story to hint at things to come in She-Hulk's future. It's a single issue, but it helps to encompass parts about She-Hulks personality that become commonplace in the future. I especially love the ending of this Two in One issue#88. What happens in Diablo Reactor stays in Diablo reactor.
