Interesting story but I was put off by the artwork.

Este es un personaje que no he seguido mucho y al que siente he visto como un secundario de lujo. A parte de saber que no había adquirido sus poderes como Spiderman y que no usaba redes no sabía mucho de sus orígenes y la verdad es que he disfrutado mucho con esta historia de espías. Lo que menos me ha gustado ha sido el dibujo que me ha parecido demasiado artificial, parecían fotogramas de una película de animación y en mi opinión le resta expresividad a los personajes.
Por eso al final dejo la valoración en 3 estrellas aunque por guión le pondría 4.

Horrendous art, felt like a webcomic with no effort.

I’ve been trying to read through all the Spider-Man comics and have made it pretty far. So far this is one of my favorites. I love how they tell her backstory in a new way. It’s easy to read and really enjoyable. Great artwork.

A friend told me to check out Spider-Woman, I had no idea who Jessica Drew was until I read [b:Secret Invasion|5463882|Secret Invasion|Brian Michael Bendis|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1409502240s/5463882.jpg|5531482] and had a look on Wikipedia! She sounded awesome, and it is always good to find new female heroes to delve into. When I got my Marvel Unlimited subscription this is one of the first books I checked out.

So, as a character I love Jessica Drew. I've seen bits of her since in Captain Marvel stuff and she's a lot more light hearted there. This is a pretty dark and tragic origin story that has her being trained and brainwashed by HYDRA, and send after SHIELD. The story isn't great.. the pacing is weird. There are huge time jumps that miss out some potentially interesting stuff. She goes from teenager to ass-kicking agent out of nowhere, it would be good to see her get used to her powers (they seem to me electrical energy and flight). It's almost like a timeline, or an outline with no fleshed out plot.

Also the artwork is sloppy, not a fan.

Jessica Drew I love.. this book is average, but it was a decent introduction to her and I'll definitely be reading New Avengers to see more of her.

Wel, ik houd van de stijl van de Luna Brothers. Wat betreft verhaal heb ik geen enkele achtergrond, dus ik kan er maar moeilijk een waarde-oordeel over vellen. Spider-woman komt blijkbaar uit de New Avengers series, en daar heb ik nog niks van gelezen. Binnenkort komt daar misschien wel verandering in.
