When all is said no done, Spider-Woman #7does an excellent job telling a deep and emotional tale. It works the King in Black event into its own narrative, keeping this issue from just becoming an unnecessary side adventure. Read Full Review
Pacheco and Perez can start to return to a more Jessica-centric storyline in future issues, having rolled through the punches of a very aggressive mega-crossover event. Spider-Woman #7 offers one of those rare glimpses into what can happen when the right team pops over to the larger universe for a quick adventure before returning to heavier matters when the smoke clears.

In spite of these minor issues this book is a brilliant, fun and surprising look at a great character in conflict with the friends and foes around her. As the book builds up to a larger conflict with High Evolutionary, hopefully we get more of the depth and surprises seen so far in this run. Read Full Review
Spider-Woman #7 is an intense issue, one that merges multiple plots together to create something so much more. It's brilliantly written, while still feeling so very raw and human all at the same time. The artwork worked to further enhance this impression, to great effect. Read Full Review
On the art side, artist Pere Perez and colorist Frank D'Armata deliver a stunner every time Jess is in the spotlight, though not just in showing off her skills. Their rendition of a serum overdosed Jess is one I won't get out of my mind anytime soon, and when you throw in that final page hook, it makes for one of the most painful yet compelling issues of the series yet.

Spider-Woman #7 offers up some epic action revealing just how powerful Jessica Drew can be. In the same vein as Crank, this series is very good at cranking things up to 11 and letting the action rip. This issue is no different. Read Full Review
Carol summons Jessica home to clobber a Knull-dragon. She resents her friend doing so in a completely unjustified/justified manner. This "Marchand Serum" thing snuck up on us in the form of "curing a super-disease," blinding us to the fact that Jess is actually caught in an addiction scenario. The reality is (hopefully) clear now, and combining some stellar art with the nasty (good nasty) plot pulls this title back up into greatness.
Loved the way Pacheco tied in Jessica's story with an evil flying dragon. Oh and of course... Spider-Woman looked sexy as hell taking down that dragon ALL BY HERSELF!
Honestly, getting me to not just voluntarily read but legit enjoy a King in Black tie-in is pretty darn impressive

Okay!
Not really a fan of how Spider-Woman is written here. I know that's the point, but it doesn't mean I stop disliking it. At least everyone else seemed in character.
