SHE-HULK: As in fashion, literature, movies, and TV, there are trends:
For example: over the last decade, the genre called “young adult” has dominated. Stories of teenagehood, of adventures bigger than oneself, and pitching a teen’s journey of growth…
This trend is fading. But one trend that never-ends is cine-comic.
The rebirth of this once troubled subgenre started with Iron Man and grew through the impressive Marvel Cinematic Universe. And now this superhero phenomenon is blasting onto TV screens once again (after a dalliance with Netflix with Daredevil, Jessica Jones, et al).
The latest TV show to be announced by Marvel is to be based on She-Hulk.
