Spinning out of Jonathan Hickman's hit cosmic epic, IMPERIAL, Jennifer Walters made a promise to her cousin, HULK, to watch over the planet Sakaar and its people for a few days. But it's been longer than a few days, and now She-Hulk is in charge of keeping the peace on a planet at war! But Jennifer is a VERY different Hulk than the one that once smashed Sakaar into submission... is she up for the task?

Spun off from IMPERIAL.

"I'd do anything to get off this planet..a planet whose only common language us violence"

Jennifer is stuck on Sakaar after a promise to her cousin Bruce/Hulk...where shes meant to keep law and order. Easier said etc.

Love the humor in this...and the natives of Sakaar bring a whole bunch of issues to the table..

Coming right after the conclusion of Hickman’s Imperial mini series; the cosmic side of the marvel universe finds itself amidst a shift in power. After Hulk leave Sakaar to investigate a murder he leaves Jennifer in charge of the planet in his absence. Being a hulk and just who she is it is not trouble for her, but tired of waiting for her cousin to return passed the 5 day period they had agreed on Jennifer is eager to be free of this world where the order is chaos. While seeing to a diplomatic duty she finds herself in a situation where more and more questions arise about those around her and their true intentions. The art is cinematic and really draws you into the marvelous mess that is the planet Sakaar, as well as the same style of playful dialogue and narration from Jen in a situation like this.

This was a fun story - I enjoyed it far more than I hoped. It has a beautiful cover. I also enjoyed the art and felt it fit the story as well as threw me back to the Planet Hulk storyline. It is a fun "fish out of water" story as Jennifer is out of her element, so to speak, after she agrees to help cover for Bruce's disappearance for five days (spoiler>her being lectured by "Conrad" had me chuckling as "he" skillfully maneuvered her into acquiescing to the responsibilities she accepted when she agreed to stand in for Bruce as temporary leader of Sakaar. Of course, things do not go as planned and chaos ensues for the rest of the issue.

The only thing I am really confused about is that I thought Sakaar was destroyed, so it is a bit surprising to see it in this issue. I did a bit of quick research on Marvel's fandom website and learned that the planet was apparently restored when the Time Stone re-emerged into the 616-universe. Very convenient.

The story has quite moments of dialogue and humor that blend well with the moments (scenes) of action throughout the story, and I find myself looking forward to the next issue. Hopefully the momentum and fun storytelling carries through to the final issue.

Great first issue!

Loved this so much. A great balance of humor, action and intrigue. And the art is stellar!

Buy this book and support our girl Shulkie. I want 100 issues of this.

What I liked: I like everything about She-Hulk. After watching the show I wanted to read more, especially since we probably, most likely aren't getting a season 2. I remember reading a She-Hulk comic a few years ago but I am 80% sure it kind of lined up with the show? I could be 100% wrong. I like that this series takes place on another planet. There’s tons of action, lots of humor, and it all comes together in a really interesting way in this comic. The ending definitely had my jaw on the floor but also suspicious at the same time.
Art & Coloring: Vibrant and the panels are easy to follow!
Writing: Good story that left me with so many questions about Planet Hulk.
What I didn't like: Jennifer's attitude could have been a bit better and understanding considering the situation.
Final thoughts: Going to be getting the vol1 of the trade.
Continuing?: Yes

3.5 rounded down to three

Planet She-Hulk #1 is a Marvel Comic issue written by Stephanie Phillips, art by Aaron Kiser, and colors by Sonia Oback.

Hiro-Kala, the son of Hulk and ruler of Sakaar En Nevo, has died, leaving the planet in a power vacuum. Hulk has asked his cousins Jennifer Waters aka She-Hulk to watch over the planet until he returns in 5 days time. After 10 days with Hulk still away, She-Hulk begins to have her authority tested by those who have an eye for the throne.

I haven’t read a good intergalactic superhero story in a while and Planet Hulk is still one of my all time favorite super hero stories. I’m actually not super familiar with She-Hulk as I do not read a ton of Marvel but she always seems to be a very interesting character when she pops up in books I do read. I’m curious to seek out more and look forward to see how the Planet She-Hulk title plays out.

Meh. I read the original Planet Hulk as it came out. I have only glanced at stuff involving Skaar since then. I have read She-Hulk a little more often, but she's not really my thing, typically. I HATE Deadpool-style humor, so the many times she breaks the fourth wall, and the many times she is drawn naked, all put me off. I want her fully dressed and punching something.

I don't know how she ended up on Sakaar, and for that matter, I don't know how any version of this planet is back. I thought it blew up at the end of Planet Hulk. But, c'est la vie. This is... fine.

Listen, Jennifer is my favorite so of course I'm gonna be a little biased here - but I really liked this more than I thought I would! I had been hearing a lot of negative reviews from folks from my local comic shop but I really liked this a lot :) The writing and me giggling out loud. The art and action was pretty sweet. I look forward to reading more!

I feel like I need to read Planet Hulk to fully appreciate this story, but I did enjoy it. I've seen Thor: Ragnarok the film, so I have some idea of the Hulk as a gladiator motive. Also, you probably should read Imperial by Hickman to follow the events here, too. Despite these shortcomings, and such are the foibles of the monthly floppies, I liked this comic.

[Craig Schorling · Rating 5 out of 5]

This starts with the best possible foot forward. It blends action, humor, intrigue, and great art. After the ok but mostly disappointing one shot tie in this series immediately establishes that it will be more serious and raises the steaks by the end. Very excited to see what is next.

Of course She-Hulk is trapped, and of course everyone is killing each other. Just give her a ship, some nachos and let her be on her merry way. Too bad plans never go the way you want.

Slightly cringe Marvel jabs aside, really good piece of work. Great art, great pacing, very immersive. First Marvel comic I’ve read in a while, and am happy I picked it up.

[Nicky · Rating 4 out of 5]

A fun issue like the Imperial War one shot and possibly enough to keep pulling for an arc.

[Richard A · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love She-Hulk and this will be a fund miniseries.

[Dean · Rating 3 out of 5]

this was well written and fun.
kuder's art was great especially with these muted(?) colours.
ill keep reading.

[Sam Ramirez · Rating 4 out of 5]

A great start! It looks like Jen is going to be on Sakaar for a lot longer than she’d like…

[Josh Burkey · Rating 4 out of 5]

This kind of feels like a throwback to some of the earlier eras of She-Hulk blended with the more modern era. Art is solid. This series has a great foundation here in issue one.
