• Who are the Brothers of the Sword? FIND OUT THIS ISSUE!
• Jessica's visit to a jail goes horribly wrong with a few slashes of these powerful swords.
• The most consistent action-hit of 2020 somehow finds new levels that could only be attained with Pacheco and Perez's ill-advised deal with interdimensional demons.
Rated T+
Pacheco has been doing a brilliant job of bringing a hero to the page who has clearly been through a HELL of a lot already. Shes still got a passion for doing what shes doing without being bogged down in darkness and cynicism. Its a job; she loves doing it; she gets a bit tired. Never enough time with her kid. Pacheco is carved out a really specific niche for Jess throughout the first twelve issues of the series. Read Full Review
This issue is filled with vibrant colors and detailed artwork. The fight scenes are well done. And the contrast of red and blue in the fighters' wardrobes are visually appealing. Read Full Review
Spider-Woman #12 ends its story on an unexpected turn that will undoubtedly be a big focus for Jessica moving forward. Since this creative team has already shown such a depth of skill with Jessica's story thus far, I have no doubt what comes next will be just as great. Read Full Review
Spider-Woman #12 is a fascinating issue, one that is full of fighting, history, and a few extra surprises. The artwork is outstanding here, showcasing an amazing fight scene and captivating lettering. Read Full Review
I really want to like this book, I really do. I am an old school Spider-Woman fan, all the way from her inception, to her Madripoor days, to the Bendis book through Hopless to the here and now. I understand that there is a corner of fans wanting a Jess and Carol relationship, and I kind of agree to an extent. I am sorry to see the demise of the Roger and Jess relationship, though the break-up is no big surprise given how little panel time Roger and Gerry have had in this volume. As it is, this book remains on my pull-list, for now. Read Full Review
Well, Karla Pacheco broke my heart this week. Yes, she certainly did, but that's happened before (see Jessica's falling out with Carol for proof) and on that occasion, it ended up becoming a source of growth for the character, so I can only hope that this latest development will end the same way.

Jess closes the book on the Espadas Gemelas by capturing the loose brother during a failed prison break. But more importantly -- more sadly -- her recent poor treatment of Roger has consequences. I love the sharp gut-punch of the final relationship development. And the art throughout is gorgeous; Pere Pérez is right up there with Jamie McKelvie now. But the Espadas are just too weak to carry this book to greatness. I respect their premise, but damn, are they dumb. Case in point: Their prison break scheme totally would have worked if Luis could have resisted the temptation of calling Jess in.
Some slight pacing issues in the book this week.
Still, on the plus side Roger has gone, thank god. If the kid could go next that’d be even better.
I HAD ONE REQUEST.
I would also take that steak too... they're delicious and SO EXPENSIVE.
This was fun but the pacing was way off.
I was liking the issue until the final page, which ruined the stakes to me.
Also I wonder if Carol and Jess breaking up with their boyfriends in such a close time space was on purpose and the writers of both were planning of getting them together.
Oh no it was dissatisfying!
