LIGHTS! CAMERA! ACTION! Jess is still recovering from the epic showdown with her brother, Aeternum. She decides to visit her friend, stuntwoman Lindsay McCabe, on set. But wait… Those assassins aren’t in the movie! And they’re after Lindsay! AN ALL-NEW, ALL-ACTION SPIDER-WOMAN ARC STARTS HERE!
Pacheco has taken Jess to a surprisingly diverse set of places throughout the 17 issues of the series. From Wundagore Mountain in Transia to an orbital space station to...Hoboken. It's been a wild ride. Through it all, Pacheco has managed such a satisfying focus on Jess that the craziness of her life feels more like a refreshingly strange character arc than a series of weird locations. There's a remarkably fresh sense of continuity about it all that makes Jess seem much more believable as a human being than most comic book superheroes manage in a decade of regular adventures.

Spider-Woman #17 is an action frenzy that might just teach you something about the movie business. You really can't go wrong with this issue's well-written dialogue and always inventive action, making this an easy recommendation for a heck of a good time. Read Full Review
Pere Perez and Frank D'Armata's work on Spider-Woman has been stellar up to this point, but Spider-Woman #17 is easily one of my favorite issues from the duo thus far. Read Full Review
This is, I admit, just a filler/breather episode (despite its sequel hook). But it's so dang fun! The script is stuffed with wit and the art remains insanely great -- GOAT polish combined with daring layouts, most of which are smashing successes.
Back to being fun and moving away from the redundant previous chapter. Also script writer Karla Pacheco is writing stuff just an excuse for Director Pere Perez to flex his muscles to be witnessed in D'Armata technicolor!
MOVIE MAGIC. But the series continues to get messy.
I mean, this was fun but kind of a slog at the same time.
