    Newsarama - Joey Edsall Nov 3, 2016

    The comic has an extremely bold ending which other stories should note. It doesn't end on a plot cliffhanger, but rather an on emotional one. Hopeless' last lines in the issue cement this an exemplary beginning to an arc. Read Full Review

    Comicosity - Jessica Boyd Nov 2, 2016

    Spider-Woman is a cleverly written, beautifully illustrated and dynamically colored story, highlighting the struggles of a single mother superhero. This is not your everyday superhero book, but something to be celebrated for it's unique views on balancing parenthood and life. Yet, after this gut punch I'm going to need to go hide under and blanket and sob for awhile. Sure, it's superhero comics, and things like this aren't always forever. It still reads like a Hopeless twist that isn't being glossed over anytime soon. Read Full Review
