Rated T
The story picks up again in Spider-Gwen #8, which is reviewed by ProFan Shanna. Then I'll be back to continue my coverage with the next issues of Silk and Spider-Woman. Finally, Shanna will bring it home in the finale, Spider-Women Omega #1. Read Full Review
Separating this issue as its own piece rather than the part of a larger story is actually not difficult. There are some wonderful parts of one of my favorite characters that re-emerge and as a standalone issue I can definitely see it as part of her solo series across from the crossover. Spider-Woman #6 actually gives off a tone that I think would be awesome in Jessicas solo series, as Hopeless has demonstrated how to incorporate her motherhood with her heroism while also deliberately discussing her personal dilemma in finding balance. Jones and Rosenberg craft a Jessica I love to see and who is emotive, again adding to the new developments in this Spiders life while conveying power and force. There is just enough in this issue to keep you adrift with Spider-Women, yet if you read it as a solo issue not too much is lost. If you love Jessica Drew and what makes her a formidable force in the 616, pick up Spider-Woman #6. Read Full Review
Spider-Woman #6 is another successful character driven segment of the "Spider-Women" crossover event, though the thinness of the plot does prevent it from being a seamless addition to the larger event taking place. Read Full Review
The whole issue you are thinking Thank God for Jessica Drew; she will be the one to save our heroines, get them back to their home world, and resurrect our faith in this series contributing something substantial to each characters continuity. Spider-Woman #6 really gets the ball rolling for this story and convinces you to see this series through until the end. Crossover events between characters are great, they help to building bridges between fandoms and introduce readers to new great heroes, but when done unnecessarily, it can be tedious to read as it distracts our favorite heroes from some fun and meaningful alone time. The verdict is still out for what the history books will write about the “Spider-Women” crossover, but this is a step in the right direction. Read Full Review
The fourth installment in the "Spider-Women" crossover hits the midway point, but loses a little of the momentum that was gained in the Spider-Gwen and Silk issues. Read Full Review
Spider-Women is how you do a crossover. Well done Hopeless, Latour, and Thompson!
