The upcoming Empyre event will see one Avenger undergo a horrifying change, as Jennifer Walters will become The Immortal She-Hulk. Much like her cousin Bruce Banner, Jennifer will be unable to die, and if she does her She-Hulk transformation will be triggered. Details about this transformation are scarce, but Marvel's solicitations hint that it will be tied to the aftermath of Empyre.
Immortal She-Hulk #1 will be written by Al Ewing, who is currently penning The Immortal Hulk, with art by Jon Davis-Hunt. Ewing is also co-writing Empyre with Dan Slott, which sees the former Young Avenger Hulkling leading the combined Kree and Skrull empires against Earth. The Avengers and Fantastic Four will join forces to stop the invasion.
She-Hulk has undergone many transformations, the most recent featuring her becoming a walking gamma bomb. It remains to be seen how her newfound immortality will affect her relationship with the Avengers, and if she will cross paths with her cousin.
The official cover and solicitation for September's Immortal She-Hulk #1 can be found below.
