I just love Jess so much
Cool art but not a very good story.
Jessica Drew isn't feeling herself. A mysterious illness threatens her and her child, and leads her on a wild chase across the globe where she will meet long lost relatives and revisit the place that shaped her into the woman she is today - Wundagore Mountain!I'm a big fan of the previous Spider-Woman series, and I was skeptical about Marvel bringing her back again. I thought they'd sweep away everything that made Jess so compelling last time, and while new writer Karla Pacheco does shift baby G...
First two (maybe even 3) issues were fantastic. Funny, joyful, loved every moment of Jessica snappy comebacks and her being a badass. The last two issues got so convoluted and weird about her past I actually was a bit at a loss for words on even what the fuck was happening. The very ending started fixing up and maybe we'll get more Jessica the supermom adventures cause I miss that adorable child. For the first 3 issues - 4.5 out of 5. Last two - 2 out of 5. So about a 3.
YES! Jess is back and the book doesn’t suck! Whoo!I’m a huge Spider-Woman fan and it’s clear writer Karla Pacheco is too; the Jess-love flows off every page. It helps that Pere Pérez’s artwork is pretty awesome, too. I am really looking forward to seeing where this goes. Don’t let me down, folks!Three small(ish) quibbles stopped me giving this 5 stars:1. The plot could have been more coherent, to be honest, as much fun as it was.2. The prejudice against the French that came out of Jess’ mouth in...
The art is great, the humor is pleasant, and the action is over-the-top. But Bad Blood doesn't make very much sense unless you know Spider-Woman's full backstory (which I do not). Of course, even if it's not a read for newbies, Bad Blood is still pretty fun. Spider-Woman is trying to make ends meet, so she picks up a bodyguarding job for a rich dude and his daughter. Many, many surprises later (view spoiler)[and she's fighting alongside her long-thought-dead mother in the far distant land of her...
Hoo boy am I torn on this one. As a huge Jess fan, this is far inferior to what has come before it. The pace is certainly slower, it's overly wordy, and it just isn't the witty, fun comic that Jess fans are used to. However, it's still very readable with decent art and some personal twists to Jessica's ongoing story. Hoping for better things in volume 2. Recommended for fans of Spider-Woman, not casual readers.
This is everything I want in a Spider-Woman series - humor, action, and heart. This series returns Jessica to her darker roots, so if you are fan of the Hallum run, you'll find this series very different. Karla Pacheco really understands Jessica Drew - however she's a slow burn writer and tends to peel back the layers of this mystery slowly, but still manages to keep a fast paced, action backed series. Pere Perez's artwork is fantastic - you'll find some of the best fight scenes in comics today
lol this woman cured my depression
that wasnt half bad. just confusing. i think the main problem is they tried to do too many "plot twists" in a single issue. the art was good too. oh and i do NOT dig the new costume... 4 stars though cause i'm biased
I don't know what the h3ll was I thinking... Oh, well, here we go.The good:The graphics are stunning. The style is just beautiful. The colour palette is amazing. 5/5The bad:The story is completely convoluted. All over the place. Some panels are incoherent. The art is not consistent throughout the novel. Why is the fifth issue drawn in a different style than the first four? (This does not not change the fact that the whole thing is visually stunning.) The few time jumps are horribly set. The 'twi...
Issue 1 was okbut when they started fighting and it involved a converation about pilates i knew this was going in a direction that I wouldn't like. Continued and didnt get better
Read as single issuesOh no, I love Jessica Drew but I found this new story really not great. I kept reading because it's Jessica but mehhh. I found it over the top and trying too much to be shocking. Totally different than the previous series which I loved.
Pretty cool, that the first issue of this new in 2020 series was the best selling Marvel Comic in the month it was released, which I believe is a first for Jessica Drew. So here we are again, another creative team trying to put together a run that will generate enough sales to keep the book afloat after the last three failures for this by better known creators. New costume, who dis?I like the actual writing, the art and the comedy, but once again the plotting is kind of uninspired as the creativ...
I am a long time fan of Spider-Woman - and this fresh story was definitely a lot of fun!
I like Jessica as a character, but this was too messy for me with (view spoiler)[the fake mom and the family reveals (hide spoiler)] and every twist that felt more like a shocker than actual plot. I might keep up with this series, but this volume relied way too much on trying to wow the reader with what was going on.
COLLECTS SPIDER-WOMAN (2020) ISSUES #1-5 I really enjoyed the start of this new run of "Spider-Woman." It reflects back on things that have happened in her recent history, and also sets up some intriguing things for future stories. There was a lot of buzz about the fact that Jess got a new suit in this latest run, and I was really appreciative that the writer gave an in-story reason for the suit change. I'm really looking forward to reading on in this series.
Each new Spiderwoman title heads in a different direction, and while I really enjoyed the mom/detective Jessica Drew from the last run this was pretty good for me. I like that we are getting more action again, even if the set up with "the family" was overdone and long.
Ugh, it's hard to get past the atrocious premise of this volume: that a rogue billionaire would hand Jessica down a death sentence, and then she'd happily work with him to find a cure.And then there's the horrible new costume.And the decision to make a right turn from the fun detective premise of the previous volume, let alone almost entirely abandoning the cast.And then things just turn into a retconny muddle that still doesn't make sense by the end.Maybe a serious Spider-Woman reader could mak...
Entertaining as hell, Karla Pacheco is cheeky and curse-word-friendly enough to capture my attention from issue one, page one.Her version of Jess makes so much sense, and is so fully formed and flawed that I want to hang out with her right freakin’ now. The adventures, existential loop she throws Jess for, are plenty engaging to keep me reading every issue. Somehow I just don’t entirely understand the overall plot, and the editor’s synopsis at the start of each issue ain’t helping. Did Jess take...
