They all look so amazing and show a wide view on the character. She’s professional, strong, athletic, beautiful, all the above. love how you share your creative insight on all your projects. Gives a great example of things to things to think about when taking on our own creative endeavors.

Since I first saw these covers, I felt a big John Byrne influence in the covers. And I loved that. Byrne's run on The Sensational She-Hulk still probably stands as some of my favorite comic books of all time, and puts Jennifer Walters firmly in my top 10, and depending on the day top 5, favorite comic book characters of all time.

Thank you for doing Jennifer the justice she deserves.

They all look great, and those cover boxes are phenomenal. I hate that comics sort of went away from those for a while. Love your insights into your journey into She-Hulk. :)

I love the corner boxes and also have fond memories of looking at them as a kid. One of my favorites was New Warriors #39 which has Namorita and Nova kissing on the cover while the rest of the team reacts from double corner boxes.

Thanks for the insight on the process. Did you also do three cover concepts for The Good Asian #3? It would be cool to see a process post on that cover as well.

This is awesome! Thank you for diving in and giving us the details! I love the way you rendered her hair on these coversβ€”it really makes the color and movement pop!

Between this and the Captain Carter Carnagized Variant, it seems Marvel is 2 in 2 for not accepting initial rejection. Not that I mind! These She Hulk covers really stand out from most of the books on the shelf. Thank you!

Thanks for all the insights Jen. I’m really glad that you took the job to do the main cover and that you continue to do so after issue 5. I guess it would have been tough to swallow if you had stopped but I guess 99% here would have understood that. So thank you for giving us more of your phenomenal art and the additional bonus 2nd printing with the small changes in details and the new corner boxes which are definitely a reason to order the 2nd printing. A big thank you to Marvel who generously stretched your deadline. I guess they knew and know why πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜‡.

I love how you achieved making her look feminine without sacrificing her β€œhulkyness”.
