She-Hulk just signed on her biggest client ever, but there are actually a lot more clients than just one.
Jennifer Walters aka the Sensational She-Hulk has begun practicing law once again, though her boss, Mallory Book, is adamant that she not take on superhuman clients. This demand is easier said than done for She-Hulk though, whose latest appointment is none other than the teleporter Nightcrawler in a preview for She-Hulk #6 by writer Rainbow Rowell and artist Luca Maresca. However, Nightcrawler is not only seeking legal counsel for himself, but every mutant on the island nation of Krakoa.
Nightcrawler was one of several superhumans to visit Jen at her office for legal assistance in the prior She-Hulk #4. Others present who wished to become some of Jen's newest clients included Mr. Fantastic/Reed Richards, Karnak, Shang-Chi, Nova, Wong, Spider-Woman, Captain America/Sam Wilson and Moon Knight. Jen agreed to help out her superhuman friends so long as they could be discreet with their cases and not get Jen into trouble with Mallory.
What Are the X-Men and Mutants' Legal Troubles?
Thus, Nightcrawler tries to be discreet in the preview by putting on a Spider-Man hat, though it fails to cover up his blue skin and other respective mutant traits. As he tells Jen, Krakoa's mutant population needs help with a variety of legal problems. "We've got immigration issues, residency issues, voting rights complaints," Nightcrawler explains. "Scott [Summers aka Cyclops] spent so much time on Krakoa, the State of Connecticut won't let him renew his driver's license. We need someone as a liaison here."
Jen agrees to assist all of mutantkind, citing that she does "need the clients," but she is also dealing with another issue currently.
