All about the recruitment of Jessica Drew, a.k.a. Spider-Woman, the beginning is little confusing starting off with a depiction of her being depressed and suicidal. Not much is done to explain this either, but luckily the stories soon turns to what we all wanted, the story of how Spider-Woman started working for S.W.O.R.D.

Story: The main problem I have with the story in this issue is the lack of explanation in certain parts which makes it rather hard to understand and a little annoying to read. In general, it is good for comic books to be complex, because a reader doesn’t want a story that will bore them, but at the same time the story needs to be understandable and well explained, something with certain parts of this story are most certainly not. However, that being said, the rest of the story is very well written and Brian Michael Bendis has some interesting ideas meshed in with his writing.

Art: The truly couldn’t have picked a better artists than Alex Maleev for this project, as he seems to have a real knack for working with Bendis and expressing Bendis’s ideas to perfection. He also is very talented with his use of tone and his style is something I have never seen the likes of. In fact, he seems at times able to convey more to the readers through his artwork than the writer can with words!

Overall: Spider-Woman #1, although lacking quite a bit in the explaining department, makes up for it with its original story, intriguing artwork, and its overall excellent content.
