She-Hulk, Volume 8: Secret Invasion by Vincenzo Cucca, Larry Stroman, Peter David
3.0
First off this is NOT a straight She-Hulk collection of issues; it contains She-Hulk #31-33 AND X-FACTOR #33-34 forming a somewhat alternating pattern. I thoroughly enjoyed the writing and artwork of the She-Hulk issues however; the same cannot be said of X-Factor. The X-Factor issues lacked personality especially when paired with a character bursting with it. The X-Factor issues were just kind of boring really.
The other big issue for me was the artwork; the differences between the two were jarring. She-Hulk artwork was fluid and soft and elegant and detailed while the X-Factor art was hard, jagged, inconsistent, and frankly ugly.
From a story standpoint I loved all the Skrull action, don’t get me wrong, and a battle with Super Skrull is always fun but I’m missing the mean green jurisdiction machine. The lawyer aspect of the comics made it something really special, without it the comic is good but not great.
