HulkSpoilers HulkSpoilers HulkSpoilers… Planet She-Hulk #1 by Stephanie Phillips and Aaron Kuder is published today with She-Hulk stranded on the planet Sakaar after the events of Imperial. Which is causing all sorts of issues, intergalactically, such as providing Peter Parker with an excuse not to go home to his girlfriend on Earth, in today's Amazing Spider-Man #15 by Joe Kelly and Pepe Larraz.

British comedy is usually based on people forced to be in places or with people who they would not normally share oxygen, and that's She-Hulk right now. Which might be why, in the bath, she starts channelling Monty Python And The Holy Grail. Specifically Michael Palin…

"Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony." – Michael Palin as Dennis, Monty Python And The Holy Grail

"You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you! I mean, if I went around saying I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!" – Michael Palin as Dennis, Monty Python And The Holy Grail

"I have a vewy gweat fwiend in Wome called Biggus Dickus" – Michael Palin as Pontius Pilate in Monty Python's Life Of Brian. It does rather fit the pomposity of power being pricked in this series.

Looks like Dennis was wrong, that's exactly how it works. Planet She-Hulk #1 by Stephanie Phillips and Aaron Kuder is published today from Marvel Comics.
