Ooof. I really love this character and I was iffy on the first story arc, but this one was very rough on me. Set aside that, for much of the series, Jessica is not acting like Jessica at all and it leads her acting and saying things that terrible, including to people she loves...and then it didn't really get resolved in a good and interesting story. It was just a lot of bad, uncomfortable stuff without anything fun or insightful at the center of it. I disliked this so much that I'm definitely not going to read anymore of this author's run of this character, because I just don't think she's capturing what I love about her...which is a bummer.

Marvel’s SPIDER-WOMAN #10, available now, brings us back to a very desperate Jessica Drew. She’s more determined than ever to solve her current dilemma and get back home. Written by Karla Pacheco, with artwork from Pere Perez, Frank D’Armata, and VC’s Travis Lanham, this is the issue many fans have been waiting for.

From the very start, this whole series has been about Jessica Drew and her quest for a cure. Not just for herself, but for her son – and others. Along the way, she learned that her family was larger than she thought. Given her history with family, it’s safe to assume that they brought with them even more complications.

The temporary fix that Spider-Woman has found leaves her more unstable – and more dangerous – than ever, which brings us to Spider-Woman #10. She’s teamed up with an unlikely ally, and we all saw how wonderfully that went (please note the sarcasm).
