SAKAAR, PARTY OF ONE! SHE-HULK is back, and she's... stuck on Sakaar?? 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?

    Nerd Initiative - Matthew Roth Nov 5, 2025

    Planet She-Hulk #1 is the total package! The team brings action, adventure, and relatability, and pulls us into this world from the jump. Jennifer Walters is the ultimate badass, and I cannot wait to see how she navigates trying to leave Sakaar with the mystery behind Myrren's death. Read Full Review

    The Super Powered Fancast - Deron Generally Nov 5, 2025

    Phillips crafts an entertaining, thrilling and engaging story in this first issue. I've always loved She-Hulk as a character and this story gives her some interesting and compelling drama to deal with while also focusing on her own feelings about the circumstances she finds herself in.

    AIPT - David Brooke Nov 5, 2025

    Planet She-Hulk #1 kicks off with bold energy and style, delivering everything fans love about Jennifer Walters wit, strength, and sharp self-awareness set against the brutal backdrop of Sakaar. Stephanie Phillips nails She-Hulk's sardonic charm and layered resilience, while Aaron Kuder and Sonia Oback deliver some of the most vivid, kinetic art on the stands. Equal parts sword-and-sorcery romp and meta character study, this debut feels as bold and confident as its heroine. Even when it indulges in pulp or pacing detours, it's a confident and colorful return to She-Hulk's most chaotic playground. Read Full Review

    You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff Nov 8, 2025

    Theres a striking clarity to the fantasy drama even as Phillips treatment of the politics on Sakaar threatens to pull the story into the ground. Theres more than enough political intrigue to draw-in readers who might be into that sort of thing, but Jens interest in trying to avoid it all serves to engage those readers who really dont care about the bloodiness of a planet locked in perpetual war. Between Jens personal interests and her unique personality engaging in her unique situation, Phillips certainly has the potential for something that goes way beyond the traditionally swampy high fantasy political action fantasy. Philips has the potential for something truly interesting in the new series. Read Full Review

    Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Lainez Nov 5, 2025

    Planet She-Hulk #1 does everything you want from a debut issue. We get a full understanding of the situation She-Hulk is involved in on Sakaar. There are many characters around She-Hulk that have their own motives that invoke some Game of Thrones drama. In the middle of that we get fun action sequences that showcases She-Hulks power and combat ability. Read Full Review

    ComicBook.com - David Harth Nov 5, 2025

    As far as the story goes, she also nails the various elements of it. The plot drops readers into a world without a leader, one full of scheming parties trying to take power. Planet She-Hulk #1 is a snapshot of world in chaos, with She-Hulk as the only person who doesn't want anything from the planet but to go home. The issue begins in media res with a wedding, gives us a flashback to the set-up, then back to the wedding. It's sort of a cliche to take readers to a wedding gone wrong, but it's an entertaining one that leads to another action scene, sets up a few mysteries about who the villain is going to be, and ends on a last page reveal that propels things forward well. It's functional without shaking the boat. Read Full Review

    Weird Science Marvel Comics - mrgabehernandez Nov 5, 2025

    Planet She-Hulk #1 gets a hearty nod for its relentlessly sharp wit and visually punchy storytelling, but comes up just short of legendary status thanks to some narrative clutter and underbaked side players. If you have limited shelf space and a budget primed for entertainment with a side of sarcasm, this issue is well worth it. Just don't expect profound cosmic revelations between the nacho jokes and monster slaying. Read Full Review

    I like this and it’s fun to see Jen out of her element.
    I know people want her on earth as a lawyer, but she hulk is a great, versatile character. Why not mix it up?
    Also, Aaron Kuder is just great.

    I’d rather have Jen back on Earth, but Planet She-Hulk is obviously a concept we all needed - or so Marvel thinks. The result is an issue that feels like a 1970s fantasy comic, and that’s not a bad thing. Aaron Kuder’s art has its moments, although his facial anatomy could use some improvement. The story is not too exciting, but compelling enough to keep me interested. All in all, Planet She-Hulk, although derivative of the Hulk’s adventures on Sakaar, is a fun new twist on the character.
    Having said that, please come home, Jen!

    Completely unnecessary, especially the Hulk's characterization and his idiotic dialogue, which could only have come from a version of Phillip Kennedy Johnson. What we have here is yet another recycling effort, now written by a feminist who is paid by Marvel to be able to switch to autopilot and get all the crap out of her mind, ignoring a script that could have been acceptable. We know the writer is a lesbian/feminist and a woke person, but for an independent publisher she did very well; just read Devil Within from Black Mask, and Black Sight from Comixology.
