About this Issue

She-Hulk #2 (2004) is the issue where Dan Slott's central conceit for the entire run snaps fully into focus: that published Marvel Comics, bearing the in-universe seal of the Comics Code Authority of America (treated as a federal agency on Earth-616), are admissible as legal documents in superhuman court cases. This premise, introduced through the GLK&H basement law library curated by the newly debuted Stu Cicero, gave the series its most durable and beloved narrative engine and directly shaped later writers' approaches to Jennifer Walters as a character. The issue also marks the first appearances of Ditto—the shape-shifting process server—and Danger Man (Dan Jermain), whose lawsuit against Roxxon Corporation allows Slott to introduce the 'Jean Grey Precedent' as a legal argument about identity, a concept that resonates with Jen's own ongoing struggle between her two selves. These foundational building blocks were prominent enough to be adapted wholesale into the 2022 Disney+ series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law.

In "Class Action Comics!", She-Hulk takes on her first real case at GLK&H when Dan Jermain, a man transformed into an atomic-powered powerhouse after a Roxxon accident, struggles with the consequences of his newfound strength. Written by Dan Slott and illustrated by Juan Bobillo, with inks by Marcelo Sosa and colors by Chris Chuckry, this issue blends courtroom drama with superhero intrigue, all wrapped in Adi Granov’s striking cover art.

History

The 2004 She-Hulk series was relaunched by Marvel as part of a cluster of six new titles, with writer Dan Slott—fresh off DC work including *Arkham Asylum: Living Hell*—returning to Marvel to helm what he conceived as a superhuman legal procedural with deep metafictional roots. Slott and penciller Juan Bobillo, with inks by Marcelo Sosa and a cover by Adi Granov, produced all twelve issues of the first volume before Marvel cancelled the series due to the low sales that plagued the entire cluster-launch; the critical reception, however, was strong enough that Marvel relaunched it eight months later with the same creative team. Issue #2, titled 'Class Action Comics!', is a single-issue story that builds directly on the world-building of #1, establishing the GLK&H office environment and its supporting cast in detail.

Trivia · 8 facts

  • Written by Dan Slott, pencilled by Juan Bobillo, inked by Marcelo Sosa, with a cover by Adi Granov; published April 2004 by Marvel Comics.
  • Story title: 'Class Action Comics!' — a self-contained single-issue story set on Jennifer Walters's first full day at the law firm Goodman, Lieber, Kurtzberg & Holliway (GLK&H).
  • First appearance of Ditto, the shape-shifting process server employed by GLK&H to serve subpoenas on super-powered targets.
  • First appearance of Stu Cicero, the GLK&H basement librarian who maintains the firm's massive collection of Marvel Comics used as legal research tools and admissible courtroom evidence.
  • First appearance of Danger Man (Dan Jermain), the super-powered plaintiff who sues Roxxon Corporation for the accident that gave him his abilities — the case Jennifer wins by invoking the 'Jean Grey Precedent,' arguing that the original Dan Jermain effectively died when Danger Man was born.
  • The issue establishes the central in-universe legal conceit of the entire Slott run: that Marvel Comics published under the Comics Code Authority seal are treated as government-certified legal documents admissible in any U.S. courtroom, a concept first articulated by Stu Cicero in this issue.
  • The firm's name, GLK&H, is a tribute to real Marvel history: 'Goodman' references first publisher Martin Goodman, 'Lieber' is Stan Lee's birth surname, and 'Kurtzberg' is Jack Kirby's birth surname.
  • The entire 2004 run, including this issue, was collected in the trade paperback *She-Hulk Vol. 1: Single Green Female* (issues #1–6) and later in *She-Hulk by Dan Slott: The Complete Collection Vol. 1* and the *She-Hulk by Dan Slott Omnibus*, the latter of which collects all 33 issues Slott wrote across both volumes.
