Spider-Woman, Vol. 1: Bad Blood by Karla Pacheco, Pere Pérez

2.0

Jessica Drew is one of my favourite Marvel characters and I was excited to read this new series. It starts off in a fairly standard way, but it's fine and fun. But then Pacheco adds lots of unnecessary baggage to her origin and backstory and turns Jessica into a rage monster. None of this is particularly well done or interesting to read, it all felt very forced. Jess' new found family don't seem serve much of a purpose other than to further this new 'roid rage plot. Very disappointing. I'll stick with re-reading the OG and Dennis Hopeless series that ran before this one – which I would highly recommend.
