Mallory Book

Stepping out of Dan Slott and Juan Bobillo's landmark 2004 relaunch of She-Hulk, Mallory Book is one of Marvel's sharper legal-world creations — a polished, formidable presence who has kept distinguished company across nearly two decades, sharing pages with Jennifer Walters and a memorable cast of Marvel's most colorful courtroom characters. Her staying power across She-Hulk, Sensational She-Hulk, and even the All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A to Z speaks to how thoroughly she embedded herself in that corner of the Marvel Universe. With a key issue to her name and 42 catalog appearances stretching from 2004 all the way to 2023, Mallory Book is exactly the kind of Modern Age supporting player that rewards the reader who pays attention — the sort of character who quietly becomes indispensable.
