"Scare Tactics" STARTS NOW!
Jessica Drew has tangled with some of the worst and toughest criminals the Marvel Universe has to offer, and she's done it while learning to be a mom, to boot. But even motherhood couldn't have prepared her for her toughest challenge yet - against THE HOBGOBLIN! And just who's under that mask?!

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
Wow. Hopeless does a really great job making smile only to rip my heart out and step on it later in the issue. I can't take this - but I can't wait to see where it goes. This arc is going to be insane. Why are you not reading Spider-Woman?
