mehhhhhhh, i really <3 jessica drew in the captain marvel books so i thought i'd check this out. i've read issue #5 tho, so i know it gets better.
If you're not also reading the other Spider-Man and Spider-Man spin-off titles that were published along side the issues that make up this volume, you're going to be so confused about what is going on. Most of the main storyline that kicks off the events in this book are told elsewhere.
Now the first time I read these issues, I read the event as each issue was released and I had no problem keeping up with the story but just reading this volume outside of the other books, you find that it doesn't make much narrative sense. There is so much story that happens between each issue slash chapter of this, that without reading those books, this story feels like its full of holes.
I'm not sure publishing this volume outside of the other Spider books really works. Marvel should have just published all of the Spider-Verse comics in order of publication and released the Spider-Verse trade paperbacks in multiple volumes. It would be better to just pick up the giant, hardcover Spider-Verse book that has the entire storyline in it.
It is nice to see the first appearance of Spider-Woman from 1977 but it doesn't help the Spider-Woman's section of the Spider-Verse storyline at all.

I'm so fucking done with Greg Land's art. There's so many Marvel comics with it now and there's only so many times I can make fun of his terrible anatomy, horribly traced expressions, and quite frankly I don't think he should be allowed to draw women (IYKYK).
I'm not a fan of the multi-charcater books because I find them too confusing and this was even more so with everyone looking so much alike.
Definitely couldn't stand on its own without the Spider-Verse main series, but a fun female focused multi-verse hopping adventure. Looking forward to Jess's "bold new direction"
This was my first time reading a comic centered around Jessica Drew (she's been a side character in a few other things I've read) and I really like her character a lot. This comic was solid, I really enjoyed it a lot but it didn't blow my mind or anything like that. Just a quick fun read and a good introduction to Jessica's character (and Silk's too I guess).
Insane to start this title in the middle of a crossover. Like DC Comics insane.
