• The fuse lit back in #1 finds its destination.
• Spider-Woman has crossed so many lines, leading to this moment and an offer to embrace the destiny forged by her Hydra years.
• Will she take it? You may think you know what a super hero would choose, but Jessica has a habit of defying expectations.
Rated T+
Pacheco leaves things in a very resolved state at issue's end. This actually comes across as kind of a daring move on her part as every conflict is in some state of finality. She's clearly writing with confidence here. She knows that she's brought fun and engaging character to the page. Jess has been a great deal of fun. She's more than enough to bring readers back next issue without introducing any cliffhanger to serve as narrative connective tissue to #11. With all Jess has been through, she deserves a bit of a rest. Read Full Review
The Story: Karla Pacheco delivers a high-octane conclusion to a multi-issue story arc. The majority of the issue encompasses by a fight. Yet, we are still treated to great character development. Including some strong, emotionally driven dialog and content. Each page was captivating. And even though the ending was very satisfying, I am excited to read about her next set of adventures.Pere Perez creates detailed drawings highlighted by the intense color work of Frank Darmata. This issue is visually stunning. The fight scenes are well done and intense. However, it is the use of facial expression that really delivers. The emotionality is amped up as the character features are contorted to depict sadness, horror, and rage. The experience was completely enthralling. Read Full Review
When all is said and done, Spider-Woman #10 delivers a strong ending to its story. The climactic confrontation brings the level of emotion that, given how much agony its protagonist had endured to reach it, was needed to feel like an appropriate payoff for its story. Read Full Review
Pacheco stops wrecking our collective hearts and emotions with a conclusion that brings in some well-earned light at the end of the tunnel but still pushes Jess and her relationships in compelling ways, wrapping up one hell of a ride that any Spider-Woman fan should not miss out on, and if you did it's time to fix that ASAP.

A fun, fast, and witty book, thats pleasing to the eye. The characters are a treat to read as well. Plus a gorgeous variant by Jen Bartel makes this a book to keep an eye out for. Read Full Review
Spider-Woman #10 is a dramatic and expansive issue, one that resolves a major plot arc, while having a bit of fun with the character at the same time. The artwork is as bold and bright as ever " and totally up for the challenges thrown that way. Read Full Review
This is a classic Spider Woman and there are not many of those.
Karla Pacheco created a brilliant suspenseful story and she put all of the elements that make Jessica Drew matter into play: her origin related to Hydra and the High Evolutionary, the fact she is a mother now, her troubled relationship with her criminal parents, her role as an Avenger and her friendship with Carol Danvers.
Highly recommended.
Loved how this second arc wrapped up. Can't wait to see how this "cure" effects Jessica going forward. Bring on Arc 3.
Honestly, a really good ending to a frankly messy second arc.
Jess punches her way to a happily-ever-after resolution for her second arc. The art looks fantastic. The script uncovers a few last, dark wrinkles before tying everything up nicely. Karla Pacheco doesn't make it look effortless, but she does put in the work, and I appreciate that. The Jess-Carol rapprochement scene could have used a little more oomph, though.

Thanks to the High Evolutionary’s technology, the Marchand Serum has been purged from Jessica’s body. However there is no time to celebrate as Octavia plans to use the High Evolutionary’s Array to create an army of clones and rule the world. Jessica and Octavia beat the ever living hell out of each other until a revived Evolutionary helps turn the tide. Cured and with her recent madness behind her, Jessica sets out to make things right with all more
Solid ending!
The sequences with the death of Octavia's many daughters was comedic and relatable, culminating in even the High Evolutionary showing levels of empathy I prejudicely thought impossible for him.
The action sequences felt like Adam West's Batman meets Punisher MAX. The only feature that was underwhelming was the ending of this arc: unless Jessica is strung out on a drug, I give a damn about her personal life. So next issue she better be tweaking off something or it will be another hiatus for me until I give her title attention, because I'm not here for any of the melodrama. Isn't that what Spider-Man is for ?
