She-Hulk, Volume 8: Secret Invasion by Peter David
3.0
Some of the best Secret Invasion tie-ins have involved a Skrull who is fighting against the invasion. John the Skrull from MI-3, the skrulls in Avengers The Initiative, Lyja in the Fantastic Four, and She-Hulk's Jazinda.
I wish the story had focuse more on her. Instead, after she gives She-Hulk a briefing on the impending invasion, they get pulled into a crossover with X-Factor, which contains some of the worst art Marvel has put out in the 21st century. Artist Larry Stroman makes Rob Liefeld look like Alex Fucken Ross. I can't imagine the embarrasment of having him assigned to a book you're writing.
Once the X-Factor crossover cools off, we're thrown into Jazinda The Skrull vs her father the Super Skrull, with She-Hulk as a psychotherapist. It's a little overwrought, and could definitely have used a few issues to build to it instead of throwing in all in one issue, but it's certainly not the worst issue in the Secret Invasion tie-ins. It's not even the worst issue in the book.
Overall, this is a mediocre tie-in story with more potential than actuality. If you like She-Hulk, or you're loving the Secret Invasion storyline, it's worth checking out. It's not good enough to stand on its own, however. And much of that is the fault of Larry Stroman, not Peter David.
