I liked a lot of things that came out of Spider-Verse but the actual story with Inheritors was not a good one. Here, that's what we get. I enjoyed the banter between Jess and Cindy and think its a relationship I'd like to see more of. The story here didn't interest me at all. Jess's doppelganger was not intriguing and served no purpose. Greg Land does a fine job here. His art was less stiff than normal here. Overall, a Spider-Verse tie-in that was uneeded.

I read this because a friend insisted that I needed to give a standalone Spider-Woman comic a shot before giving a final decision on whether or not I like Jessica Drew. I now have, and I still don't like her.

I'm also not sure why the penciler and inker decided to make Cindy Woo... not Asian? she doesn't look particularly different face-structure-wise than Jessica for most of the comic. It made the few times they remembered that much more confusing.

• interesting plot, multiverse shit is confusing tho :/ 
• love Jessica Drew though

No character development. Silly. Story made little sense.

Great art, nice storyarc. My intro to the character separately.

Not bad, but not amazing. Hopefully the end of Spider-Verse will really let Jess shine in the next arc.

This was fun - super snarky tone, Spider-Woman is a self-identified feminist, there are multiverse pirates - but suffers from what must be a crossover storyline. The war that's the main thrust of the first few issues is completely resolved off page. The art is very fine. I'll keep reading because she's pregnant in the next story arc and I'm intrigued by a pregnant superhero.
