SPINNING STRAIGHT OUT OF THE PAGES OF IMPERIAL! Left behind on New Sakaar to keep the peace, Jen Walters discovers that in this savage realm, what's needed isn't a litigator, it's a liquidator! Fortunately, She-Hulk is accomplished at being both!
Imperial War: Planet She-Hulk #1 is a smartly written and entertaining one-shot that plays to She-Hulk's strengths as both lawyer and superhero. While its narrow focus may not move the Imperial War saga forward in a big way, it succeeds as a character-driven mystery that blends humor, action, and alien politics into an enjoyable read.

Imperial War Planet She-Hulk Issue 1 is an episode of Sakaaran Law and Order. It's a bundle of fun to read, with a silly energy. Read Full Review
Imperial War: Planet She-Hulk is very much a prelude to the new upcoming She-Hulk series. Read Full Review
Imperial War: Planet She-Hulk #1 is a disappointing chapter in Marvel's growing Imperial saga that some may have fun with, but shoots itself in the foot with a 'shaggy dog' narrative and traditional She-Hulk tone that misses the appeal of seeing Jennifer in a setting ripe with world-building potential and weight.

I thoroughly enjoyed this issue. Great one-shot story, a murder mystery that's pretty obvious from the beginning (or at least as soon as the medical examiner lists the different ways the victim might have died). The conclusion and wrap up was humorous and entertaining as well. Great writing and solid art.
I'm trying to capture this as a amateur reviewer:
- She Hulk means = fun detective work, not to serious reading. So JH nailed that one.
- Its has a completely different vibe than the imperial series.
- Art isn't wauwie
- Story wise its ok
Would I still recommend it? Only when you're buying into the whole imperial war event.
While intergalactic war is happening elsewhere in the Imperial story-line, this issue focus's on a warrior world and She-Hulk baby sitting it while Space Hulk is away.
She stops the warriors from being, well, warriors, and then gets involved in a murder mystery that's over before it really begins.
It's a very quick read, but there's a light tone, almost comedic, to it that as a one-off issue, it works well enough because it DOESN'T really rely to the Imperial story-line (which if you've seen my other posts, you'll see that I find it all rather silly).
As a stand alone, it's a fun read.
