Spider-Woman, SpiderGwen, and Silk crossover. The three are having a girls night on Earth-65. Gwen gets her trans-dimensional teleporter stolen and the three are stuck on Earth-65. Turns out alternate versions of Jessica and Cindy are behind the theft. The three figure out how to get back to Earth-616 and track the thieves down.The Good: The art and storytelling vary with Spider-Woman clearly being the strongest of the three books. Having the three books together really shows how much better of
SO GOOD. I fell in love with Spider-Gwen awhile ago, but this made me want to read everything about Spider-woman and Silk immediately. It sounds silly, but I was just suffused with warmth and happiness as I read this (though in all honesty the fact that I was drinking free booze after a complimentary first-class upgrade on American might have had something to do with that). Still, I was really, really happy while reading this and loved every second.
It started out pretty frustrating and annoying... it got better... then it got pretty good. I enjoyed where this went more than where it came from. That bit with Jess and Jessie was a lot of fun. The Spider-Gwen vs Cindy 65 was awesome (Why does Gwen treat Cindy 616 like crap anyway? Was starting to get mad at Gwen). I wonder how this ties into Civil War, though... I have no clue about anything past the Millar Civil War in 2007. Looking forward to where this goes for Gwen... hope it doesn’t stay...
This is a pretty light read that goes more for laughs than stakes. If I had any complaints, it would be that they do a bit of retconning of Gwen's origin, which is one of the worst devices in a comic writer's toolkit.
This is fun! I definitely prefer events that are separate from individual series, so they have the same creative team throughout, because the different styles of different titles can be jarring. This crossover made me want to read more Silk and Spider-Woman (I'm already a big Gwen fan).
3.5 This probably would have made more sense/had a bigger impact if I’d read Silk first, still good though.
The kind of crossover I love to see. Big, world-ending stakes? Naw. Huge status quo changes? Eh, kinda. Character development and fun? Oh yes. My only real complaint is that the art of the Alpha issue is not great, featuring a lot of cross-eyed characters. Otherwise? It's the kind of crossover that ends with the main characters laughing over coffee. What more can you ask for out of comics?
Enjoyed the interactions between these characters a lot. Pretty significant events for Spider-Gwen and Silk especially, but Jessica Drew is still my favorite Spider-Woman. Loving her arc as a new mom, which continues to affect her throughout this story. I'd love to see more of her Earth-65 doppelganger soon!As crossover events go, this one isn't too bad.
Let me put it this way:In MY opinion.. this was straight trash. The beginning was ok. The idea was ok. The artwork is a bunch of different artists that gets you out of the whole thing. And the worst part is: IT MAKES YOU HAVE TO READ OTHER TITLES/CHARACTERS you don't give a shit about. That's just dumb.I get why.. to sell more issues and whatnot, but yeah. Here's your 2 fucking stars.And it's not 1 star because of Hopeless. I'm a huge fan of Spider-Woman since #1. Own every single issue digital
The Spider-women are in town. Move over Spider-man, the girls gonna get some spotlight here. So Jess, Gwen, and Cindy all are having lunch one day. You know, a girl's day out from all the drama. We know that shit won't go right though. Come on now...So in comes trouble, someone wants Gwen's reality warper device, and so the girls all have to work together to take care of the evil that is hunting them. However, what if the evil doer is someone the girls know very well? Good: I really actually enj...
Holy crap you fellow reviewers are so right - this story in the middle is a jumbled mess! It completely lost the narrative, so I don’t know if the writers even agreed on the major plot points? And if they did agree, whether they had time to convey them to their artists?Like, for example, apparently Earth-65 Silk stole back Spider-Gwen’s powers (according to the Silk issue that followed), but you wouldn’t know it from reading the Spider-Gwen issue in which it must’ve happened. Fun enough book, no...
I loved the character interactions, but the story just didn't do it for me. Some really great scenes, though, and it was fun to see all three Spider ladies interacting.
Three female heroes hanging out, having brunch and then a giant robot appears - what's not to love. All too often female bad-asses exist in isolation, surrounded by male counterparts. It's such a breath of fresh air to see a storyline where three bad-ass ladies team up. I love the dynamics between Gwen, Cindy, and Jess and really hope that we'll see more Spider-Women arcs in the future.
While this wasn't entirely without cool moments (predictably in the Jessica Drew chapters) the overall crossover reads like a total mess. What a shocker.You know what reading these multiple-writer crossovers reminds me of? It reminds me of when I was a kid and a bunch of us would be trying to create a story while playing with our action figures (boy dolls FTW) but each of us would constantly ride roughshod over the other kids' storylines because we wanted to play out OUR ideas and cooperation be...
This crossover event is fun and lighthearted, and doesn't take itself too seriously. It makes for an easy and enjoyable read, with plenty of action and humor.The story has to do with Spider-woman, Spider-Gwen, and Silk, having a lunch date, and getting stuck in the Spider-Gwen universe. This is a huge problem for SW as she has a baby that she has to get back to. To make things worse, the Silk of this universe is a super villain who has a serious tech collection that allows her to replicate the p...
[Read as single issues]With three awesome Spider-Ladies having their own solo series for the first time in...well, ever, having the three team-up for a crossover is kind of a no-brainer. Spider-Woman, Silk, and Spider-Gwen go out for lunch, and end up entangled in a cross-dimensional tangle that pits them against evil versions of themselves and a giant robot. What's not to like?The main problem with this crossover and the thing that stops it from getting 5 stars is that it's probably 2 issues to...
I picked this book up as I am currently working my way through Spider-Gwen, and I'll admit wasn't sure what to expect. I have not read any Jessica Drew-centric stories since New Avengers and I have not read any Silk before this. After reading Spider-Women, however, I can say I have been sorely missing out. I was never a fan of Jessica Drew back in the day, but I credit a lot of that to my dislike of Brian Michael Bendis' writing. I now see her character has greatly grown and developed since she'...
Usually, cross series events aren't great. This isn't a grand Marvel level event that stops a bunch of Marvel series dead, but it does require reading Spider-Woman, Spider-Gwen and Silk to understand what's going on. The art varies from skipping from series to series. I have to say, the art from the Spider-Woman series was my favorite. The characterization was a bit odd for Gwen Stacy. Having only read the very first Spider-verse Spider-Gwen issue, I'm not the best person to judge which one was
So Silk is really cool. Everyone else was interesting, but I’m now obsessed with Silk.
I love Silk and Spider-Gwen. Never read any Spider-woman stuff, though she's popped up in a few other things I read. This is a pretty awesome teamup of great superheroines. Gwen and Cindy (Silk) have their youthful angsty issues plus have a lot of serious stuff to cope with. Jessica (Spider-woman) is their older, wiser mentor. Who just had a baby. Brunch on Gwen's Earth-65 leads to Cindy and Jessica being stranded there, while their criminal Earth-65 counterparts cause trouble back home on Earth...
