• After a deadly confrontation with THE HOBGOBLIN, Jessica Drew is going to be saying R.I.P.P....
• (Hint: the extra P stands for PORCUPINE!)
Rated T+
With Marvel's recent decisions around some of their female heroes (yes, I am still bitter!), I am a tad surprised that they have kept the faith with Spider-Woman. The mix of life issues and superheroes is a staple of old school Spider-Man books and it is good to see that this element of storytelling has not fallen by the wayside. Talking of spider staples, anyone else get the “Gwen” vibe at the end of the book? Read Full Review
Spider-Woman #15 encompasses the action, emotion, and plot development that every superhero comic should have. With Dennis Hopeless' emotive writing and Veronica Fish's animated artwork, this issue is exciting and promises a strong end to this strong series. Read Full Review
Another great issue that never seems to slow down. There are great character moments and more of Spider-Woman kicking butt. Dennis Hopeless continues to provide the perfect amount of action, comedy, and drama that'll keep you locked into the story telling. Just when you think things are looking up for Spider-Woman, you're knocked back down a few pegs. One of the best ongoing Marvel series that should be on everyone's radar! Read Full Review
It's hard to describe Spider-Woman #15 without too many spoilers, but if you thought the death of the Porcupine had a lump in your throat, seeing the tender interlude at the end of this book is well worth the price of admission. Read Full Review
Spider-Womansurprises and delights with unforgettable characters and believable tension. I'm emotionally invested in Jess' commitment to the people she's allowed into her life. Hopeless, Fish, and Rosenberg are creating a thoughtful and thoroughly enjoyable masterpiece. Read Full Review
Anyway, this was another amazing issue of Spider-Woman by Hopeless and Fish. Her anger is electric and practically leaps off the page. The action is phenomenal, and as I've been saying, the emotional beats are some of the best you're going to find in superhero comics right now. Read Full Review
So yeah, I'm still a little ticked at the creative team for pulling the rug out from under us. But they're still telling a great story, so I'm still on board. Read Full Review
Spider-Woman's immediate charm is infectious, even if this issue does a cheepen past plot points. Read Full Review
Wowza
That cover? That kicking ass? That kiss? That cliffhanger? All great comic book storytelling.
The Spider-Woman vs. Hobgoblin showdown is set up around an epically satisfying romantic moment. I fully recognize that this issue comes with exceptionally lazy plotting and some highly-questionable art. I bumped its rating up because I have had some great Fall-In-Love Moments with Jess Drew in this title and so seeing her romantic life come together is a real treat.
