More on Spider-Woman vol 01
I am still enjoying this servers! The art has shifted and I can tell I have entered the era of Jim Shooter (Mr. Each Issue Should Read On Its Own) as E-I-C since the first pages of the last few issues have had summaries of the previous issue. I do like how the story is told. Each story arc is threaded with another, like the prologue of one will happen during or in between Acts 1 & 2 of another, making the stories sort of leap frog over each other.
Jess's rogues gallery to date is odd. She's faced the Needler (a crazy guy who would sew victims lips together), the Brothers Grimm (basically a couple of stunt men who used special effects), Gypsy Moth (a woman who could control fabric telekinetically), the Enforcer (a mercenary whose gun fires specialty bullets/darts) and Morgan Le Fay.
Jess's love life is terrible as well. Her first love was a SHIELD agent named Jerry Hunt who spends most of the time grumpy with her for leaving dates to go do Spider-Woman stuff or for rescuing him, despite knowing she is Spider-Woman. Then after he leaves for London, she almost hooks up with this guy who turns in pink goo and tries to eat her. Then it's a criminal master mind who tries to manipulate her. I worry for what is next!
She's also living in LA and not SF as I had thought, though I was working more with Spider-Woman: Origins for that bit of info. She's yet to become a PI, instead working in secret as Spider-Woman and collecting rewards on the criminals she captures, at least up until the last few issues where a newspaper discovered her and started writing articles covering her activities.
