What I like about Spider-Woman #2 is that it puts Jessica in the place she wanted to be in the previous issue, but after she has decided to stop doing things by her lonesome. I feel like the following issues will bring out what makes her great, but also how she has coped with being forced off planet for so long before. I want to see how Jessica resolves this current issue and what it leads to for her in the future. Read Full Review

This was an enjoyable issue of Spider-Woman that goes a long way to incorporating her pregnancy into the story. She's not just an action superhero who happens to be pregnant. Her pregnancy, the safety of her baby, and her 'conversations' with the child are all part of the story now. When she flip kicks a couple Skrulls, she has to make sure she's holding her belly and keeping the baby largely safe. Plus, she's not out on patrol, she went to the maternity ward of a hospital to get checked out. Spider-Woman is still as fun, as funny, and as gorgeous as it was before the relaunch, and Hopeless and company actually seem to be going somewhere new and clever with the re-focus. That's saying a lot. Read Full Review

Spider-Woman #2 picks up where issue #1 left off to highlight a much more physical Spider-Woman. With an action-packed issue and supporting art from Javier Rodriguez, this is an enjoyable read that depicts a classic Jessica Drew with an interesting twist. Read Full Review

OMG Jessica confronts her worst enemies in her least capable state!

Oh meh! What could have been I guess. Having set up such a powerful dilemma the script runs as far and fast in the opposite direction as possible. Giving us instead quirky old fashioned phones, and comedy villains, and brightly coloured guilt from Captain Marvel.

By now this comic is so formulaic, fake plot fake outs, splash pages, inner monologue compensating when things get silly (thank goodness for pregnant yoga), that I find it incredible to see others praising its originality. And on that score we had two recent She-Hulk series with a similar tone, HellCat not being completely dissimilar, and Squirrel-Girl. As if Marvel will only let female characters exist if they are cutesy and somewhat silly. more
