The Sensational She-Hulk #10

Published in early 1990 as part of the ongoing Sensational She-Hulk series, this issue stands as a quintessential example of the meta-fictional humor that defined John Byrne's tenure on the title. During this era, Byrne leaned heavily into breaking the fourth wall, utilizing She-Hulk's awareness of her own status as a comic book character to subvert traditional superhero tropes and provide sharp, satirical commentary on the medium itself.

The issue is particularly noted for its lighthearted, self-referential tone, which deviated significantly from the darker, more intense narratives prevalent in other Marvel titles at the time. Byrne served as both the writer and artist, crafting a visual and narrative style that emphasized Jennifer Walters’ wit and independence. It remains a celebrated installment for fans of 1990s experimental storytelling and the distinct, character-driven direction Byrne established for the protagonist.
