Art of the Title:

“Who’s that girl?" asks the voice of rapper Eve as the first episode of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law comes to a rumbling close. Sliding her feet back into her prim black pumps and patting down her tattered clothes is Jennifer Walters, the titular attorney, and inside her are two wolves. The battle between these two selves, Jen and the towering She-Hulk, and the question of identity is at the heart of Marvel’s 2022 miniseries starring Canadian actor and Emmy winner Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Black).

The main-on-end title sequence of the show, created by studio Aspect with illustrations by Toronto-based artist Kagan McLeod, takes the form of vibrant courtroom sketches that seem to paint themselves. The scenes aren’t moments from the show but rather a bonus, scenes that happen outside of the scripted episodes. The vivid drawings show Jen/She-Hulk and her cousin the Hulk, as played by guest star Mark Ruffalo, shopping for spandex and cheese puffs in bulk, discussing the relationship history of certain Avengers, and generally going about their larger-than-lives. As the Aspect team and McLeod discuss below, arriving at this illustration style and creating unique drawings for each episode’s ending proved to be no mean feat.

Art of the Title is a great website, and this is an awesome break down of the very cool credits customized for each episode of the recent Disney+ series.

Of note: the artist who did the illustrations, Kagen McLeod, who is interviewed here, did one of my favorite indie books of some time, Infinite Kung-Fu.
