Spider-Woman #3 Review

My chemical romance.

Jessica Drew attempts to escape Loomworld as the walls tighten around her.

Good artwork aside, there is nothing in this issue that should make this existing necessary.

Not only is Morlun badly characterized, Hopeless reduces this story to just reiterating plot points covered in other titles.

SPOILERS FOLLOW…………….

Things are getting ridiculous as Jessica ‘entertains’ Morlun, who despite every example to the contrary, still believes it is his Jessica.

She manages to escape giving a lame excuse, and reaches the Master Spinner – clocking that world’s Mary Jane in-between.

The Spinner reiterates that he has been altering reality slightly so that the Spiders have a chance, hence Jessica’s doppelganger. 

He hands her scrolls which she sends to Peter using her broken transporter just as Morlun investigates her.

But why does Morlun just investigate her? 

He’s smart enough to understand that something is going on, and Jessica herself mentioned that the pheromones were the only thing keeping his suspicions at bay. I have no idea what Hopeless was doing with Morlun.

Anyway, she manages to escape using a speed boat. 

But just as she reaches the ship, the boat is blown up and she barely survives – learning that Loomworld’s Jessica has taken over as captain using her pheromone ability.

Help arrives in the form of Spider-Gwen and Silk – and then assemble to battle the crew.

Meanwhile, we see Silk fashion her web hazmat suit and strike up a friendship with a cockroach that survived the radioactive fallout. Searching, they find that world’s Ezekial’s panic room.

                                                        

SPOILERS END……….

I cannot even begin to understand what happened in this tie-in. Morlun’s actions made the least sense, but that isn’t the main problem.

The problem is that this tie-in was simply unnecessary. The major plot points shown in this title were all covered in the main Spider-Man title.

The artwork is good though, and it deserves points for that. Nothing else does.

So, I give it 4.0 out of 10.

+Good artwork

+Spider-Gwen appearance(I’ll take what I can get)

-Simply unnecessary tie-in

-Reiterates plot points already shown in main title

-Contrived circumstances
