• Jessica Drew, A.K.A., Spider-Woman, gets closer to figuring out who has been kidnapping villains' significant others to blackmail the villains!
A gorgeous book with a tremendous cliffhanger and a mystery thats only getting weirder. This books officially on a roll. While the slow drip of answers may be a little infuriating, it hasnt gotten to the point where its truly problematic as the characters are still well-written, the art is amazing, and, perhaps most importantly, the storyline still feels compelling. The answer to a mystery nobody cares about is irrelevant, so as long as it remains an answer worth seeking, a little patience may be called for. Hopeless hasnt let down yet, and Rodriguez, Lopez and Muntsa Vicente are finding their voices more and more every issue. Read Full Review
There are some who want the illusion of everpresent change in their comics, and that's part of the reason why big-name event books like Secret Wars and Convergence are such a big deal - if the stakes are big enough, people are convinced things will change, and they want to get in on the ground level. But there's something a bit more subversive and revolutionary about Spider-Woman, in that this is about as low-level a book as you can get, but it's absolutely a huge change to how this one-time Avenger does business. Leave it to Hopeless and Rodriguez to turn the small scale into the big time. Read Full Review
Spider-Woman #7 is a humorous mystery tale with a momentum that cannot be stopped. Dennis Hopeless begins to answers the questions first established in issue #5 and Javier Rodriguez's art continues to dazzle in new and inventive ways. Read Full Review
Despite the unconventional approach taken with this issue, it still ends up being a bit of a mixed bag. The storytelling is fun, but the pacing is not all there, with perhaps a bit too much put into the intricate plot. Equally the women in this small town are approachable, but the question remains whether they should be? This is still a pretty interesting issue, and the creative team deserves some credit for trying something different. Different doesn't always mean great though, and that is the bottom line here, as the issue is fun and engaging but not really much else. Read Full Review
If you like the feel of recent Batgirl and Kate Hawkeye's Bishop stories, you'll enjoy this issue. Read Full Review
Hopeless fills Jessica with more than enough personality to make her adventures especially exciting, and Rodriguez on art keeps everything looking so darn good. Read Full Review
This is a godsend. Not only is the story captivating, entertaining and well-written, but the art is incredible. Until I started reading this title, I never cared for Spider-Woman, now she's everything.
Another excellent issue of this series. I thank my lucky stars (ok, maybe just the creative team) for series like this and Ant-Man as they continue to fill the void left by Superior Foes and She-Hulk.
Oh dear.
This is really not turning out to be my cup of tea. If this was any character other than Jess I would probably be thinking of dropping this book. Jess is so bad at being a detective she doesn’t recognise someone until they have given her the perfect excuse having caught her snooping, so she’s not stealthy. Then despite her super hearing she doesn’t hear a loud mechanical forklift creeping up on her.
Plus there is something I am finding a bit disturbing, all the male criminals we have seen have been aggressive and dumb, but then again so has Jess, and now we have a town full of perfect women. There is not much depth to the subtext here. I don’t know if the writer is trying to compensate for the earlie more
