Trapped on Planet Hulk! In a time of galactic unrest, She-Hulk made a promise to her cousin - the Hulk - to watch over the world of Sakaar and its people for a few days. It's been longer than a few days. Now charged with keeping the peace on a planet at war in the wake of IMPERIAL, Jennifer Walters is a very different Hulk than the World-Breaker who once smashed Sakaar into submission. Is she up for the task? Jen may be a trained lawyer and an Avenger, but how much help will that be in a world governed by "might makes right"? Not much when a merchant's trusted assistant is found dead, and Jen is framed for his murder! Can Sakaar's justice system prevail, or is She-Hulk staring at a long-term sentence?
I love She Hulk, but I was never going to care about a Sakaar-based story. Maybe a good book could have changed that, but when even the suits as Marvel calling the shots don’t care and pull the rug out from under creatives then it’s never gonna stand a chance. This series cuts off abruptly with a terrible finale to events. Poor Stephanie Phillips is blameless here. Her hands were tied when Marvel forced her to wrap this up unexpectedly and she did the best she could. But as it stands, this is not a story with a satisfying conclusion. It is entirely skippable.
A messy, inconsistent filler that takes She-Hulk out of the environment where her best stories are. Also, it ends abruptly because the ongoing series was canceled, so the creators had to fourth-wall-break their way through a lot of plot while also setting up a convoluted cliffhanger for the future. Despite all that, it was kind of charming and I don't feel like I wasted my time. If you're going to read only one inessential superhero story this year, this is a pretty good candidate.
