16* RecycledTitle: ''Sensational She-Hulk'' is the same title that was used for the character's [[ComicBook/TheSensationalSheHulk 1989-1994 series]].
17* SequelSeries: The series is a direct sequel to the ''ComicBook/SheHulk2022'' series, which was also written by Creator/RainbowRowell, and continues some of the arcs that began in that comic.
18* SpeechBubbles: Most characters talk in sentence case. However, speech bubble dialogue for Hulk [[spoiler:and April]] only uses capital letters.
19* ThatManIsDead: In a crossover arc with the Hulk, the green goliath claims Banner is gone while [[spoiler:April denounces her human identity and deems herself Anathema.]]
20* WolverinePublicity: The first issue's cover shows Wolverine, Spider-Man, the Thing, the Hulk and Jean Grey looking on as Jen poses on a catwalk. The only two who actually appear in the story are Hulk and the Thing.
