IN THE WAKE OF EMPYRE, JEN WALTERS GOES IMMORTAL!
The Cotati invasion has changed everything for Jennifer Walters. Now she seems to have a new lease on life...but things are never that simple for the gamma-powered. Al Ewing gives She-Hulk the "IMMORTAL" treatment with a horrifying stand-alone tale!
Rated T+
Immortal She-Hulk is a welcome addition to the always-stellar Immortal Hulk. It expands the incredible work of that series while reminding us that with all its body horror and pure, unbridled terror, that it's still happening in the Marvel Universe. That's the same place where a big purple alien eats worlds guided by a shining surfer and a star-spangled Avenger throws a shield at Nazis. There's room for these scares in the mix and I'm so glad they're being explored. Read Full Review
As I look back on it I find myself thoroughly impressed with my experience reading The Immortal She-Hulk #1. It delivers the start of a deep story, which poses plenty of questions I hope to get answers to. Plus, it manages to do something that comics often struggle with, it leaves me worried about She-Hulk. One of those characters writers can have difficulty with creating concern for, given the often absurd power level the character displays. Read Full Review
This issue was informative, creative, thought-provoking, and very ingenious as to how Ewing managed to incorporate SHE-HULK into the Gamma fold. I think the reception will be high for this book and a series will probably cascade out of the issue from here. Again, I highly recommend picking this issue up. Its totally worth the buy for any and all HULK fans. That said, its not ideal for people who havent been following the IMMORTAL HULK story or even the latest AVENGERS run. Nevertheless, She-Hulk fans will still get tons of enjoyment from this issue. Read Full Review
The Immortal She-Hulk #1 is a brilliant issue, diving into the backstory of one character, pulling out all of the emotions possible, and supporting it with marvelous artwork. Read Full Review
"The Immortal She-Hulk" #1 continues Al Ewing's reshaping of Marvel's Gamma characters by creating a compelling study of contrasts as Jennifer deals with her ability to cheat death. Read Full Review
The Immortal She-Hulk is an interesting story about the grander world of being a Hulk in the modern era for the character. It's also a great entry point for new readers. It'll make you want more She-Hulk comics, more Jon Davis-Hunt-drawn Marvel Comics, and more horror entwined with your superheroes. Read Full Review
Overall, this issue was worth the wait. It's good to know that through the events of Immortal She-Hulk #1, there is no one in the Hulk Family who is being left out or unaffected by the madness of the Green Door. What was once thought of to be a gift is seeming like a curse at this point. Read Full Review
Jon Davis-Hunt does excellent work with the art. So many of the panels are filled with the dark, ominous feel Ewing is conveying in the story. The POV scenes from Jennifers perspective are handled brilliantly as well. Read Full Review
Immortal She-Hulk is a great drama of majestic proportions, and the death on it holds immense weight, the only weakness being a wish of a less Hulk-like-defined Jenn. And even with that, this issue has walked an important mile in Jenn's characterization that I hope really sticks around. Read Full Review
The Immortal She-Hulk #1 is a good and unexpected start. It definitely will be a hard read for some. But The Immortal She-Hulk #1 is a very different direction and take to concepts that haven't been explored enough. While Immortal Hulk delivers the rage of these experiences, Immortal She-Hulk takes things in another direction. It's a psychological exploration of trauma and thriller wrapped up in spandex.

Ewing doesn't answer every question here (how could he possibly?) but it's fascinating to see characters like She-Hulk, Wolverine and Thor discuss these concepts. Read Full Review
Immortal She-Hulk #1 is a tie-in trapped between two worlds. Directly picking up in the fallout of Empyre but with roots much deeper than that summer event, Ewing and Davis-Hunt offer up an accomplished one-shot that is one third a retrospective, one third a philosophical piece on the nature of immortality, and one third a short but potent chapter in Ewing's Immortal Hulk saga.

This obviously isn’t the She-Hulk that many have been waiting for, but it completely works in the context of Ewing’s Hulk story. His script makes every character, even those not important for the main Hulk title, feel like a real person that you can learn a lot from. Davis-Hunt and Menyz excellently realize Ewing’s intent in each scene while bringing their own value through smart sequential storytelling. Definitely worth a read. Read Full Review
I loved this so much I can barely even pretend to be objective about it. I guess if I must put on the devil's advocate hat, I would say that this reframes Jen as a supporting character in the horrific Immortal Hulk rather than the light-hearted solo star she's been in the past -- and some readers might object to that. But heck, "supporting cast in one of Marvel's best ongoing titles" is a better gig than most long-running B-listers get.
If you think you need Jen's backstory or need to read Empyre, don't. This is an amazing one-off story that moves both Jen's plot and Ewing's Immortal Hulk forward in very interesting ways. A pretty much must-have.
Don't want. NEED an on-going She-Hulk!
I really liked this, no surprise there.
I was just reread Immortal Hulk so I read this too.
Mr Ewing did a cunning retcon. It's hard to notice.
I really enjoyed it. It made she hulk matter to me in a matter of a one shot. I would really love if immortal she hulk got an ongoing.
Did not read empyre and haven't read immortal hulk yet, this has me hyped to read the trades(for i-hulk not empyre). This is a personal story tied-in with cosmic events, but luckily Ewing navigates his narrative in a manner where I don't feel lost.
A worthy ancillary one-shot for Immortal Hulk.
Great addition to the Immortal family. Nicely done. A story that goes through Jen's history back from Empyre, Avengers business, Civil War 2 and others to give a background for what's to come. It's an Ewing/Marvel book that shows different angles of what already happened and even gives you what Jason Aaron has yet to do in his book with Thor and She-Hulk plus the leader. It's a must if you really enjoy Immortal Hulk. But if you're short on cash I'm sure it will be reiterated in the main story.
I didn't really wait anything from that one-shot, but it was good enough.
Serves it's point with some great art...at times... I agree with other reviewers don't read Empyre this here has all you need to know. Great addition to the Immortal Fam
" HRH. YES. Important to look in mirror."
- SHE-HULK
Civil War II was released 5 years ago (4 years ago at the time Immortal She Hulk was published) and I can’t stop thinking about how Ewing devoted a sizable chunk of this issue to Jen complaining about Tony. I wish Ewing was more subtle in the “it’s all Tony’s fault agenda” it really made everything else this issue feel secondary
