I'm honestly surprised at how much I ended up liking this.
4.5 stars!I really enjoyed this! I really like Jessica Drew, she's so sassy, strong and a very interesting character to read about especially since I've never read any comics with her before. I love Jess and Carols friendship, I enjoyed the plot and i just had a really fun time reading this.

Secret Wars is over and Jessica is now...pregnant? Jessica is forced to take some time off to have the baby, goes to an intergalactic hospital to see a doula and the Skrulls show up. This was a lot of fun. The final issues deal with the first few months of caring for a newborn. The Good: Those issues with Jessica dealing with the Skrulls at eight months pregnant are awesome. Hopeless does a fantastic job of conveying the emotions new parents go through. Javier Rodriguez's art gets better and bet...
"As much as I'd love to crush these 'numbskrulls' . . . with great baby comes the crushing weight of parental responsibility. So mama will just sit here, choking back pride and keeping you safe." -- Jessica 'Spider-Woman' Drew, uneasily biding her time during a hostage situation, courtesy of the SkrullsAlthough it was originally released two years ago, I will say that Spider-Woman: Shifting Gears, Volume 1: Baby Talk (along with Batman, Vol. 5: Rules of Engagement and X-Men Gold, Vol. 1: Back to...
It’s been a while since I read any comics, really, so I picked this one up on a whim. It’s quite a lot of fun: Jessica Drew kicks ass and takes names even when pregnant — even when she’s just had an emergency caesarian. That part isn’t realistic, but the bit about her learning to cope with giving things up, dealing with motherhood, and figuring out who she is now… that’s all probably pretty on the nose. And I loved Carol’s concern for her and how Jessica called out all the overprotective behavio...
Seriously, does Dennis Hopeless have some kind of channeling ability? Telepathy? A form of OCD that lets him photographically observe and regurgitate human interactions?Cause this series of his is some of the easiest stuff to read - like, ever. I don't even once have that knee-jerk reaction of "OMG do they ever say these lines out loud?", and even the master of all dialogue that is Bendis has an occasional slip. Instead I get to see Tony Stark asking "who's the father?" and Spidey's reaction is
Dennis Hopeless rocked this!And from what I'm seeing, not many post Secret Wars titles can claim that honor. I've heard so many complaints about the Mehness of things that I'm actually kinda scared to pick up anything with the words All-New on the cover. But while Marvel (in general) seems to be disappointing some of its fans when it comes to the bigger titles, some of the lesser known characters (like Jessica & The Vision) are shining. Don't get get your fallopian tubes in a knot, people! I'm c...
Never been a great fan of Hopeless, but this volume was a real good one and the "Avenger with the butt" gag response to Milo Mamara's scandalous artwork just made my day.Far better than expected.
Jessica Drew aka Spider-Woman is knocked up hard and about to pop - but oh no, her OBGYN has been taken over by Skrulls (shape-shifting space goblins)! Superhero comics, eh? Preggo Spider-Woman is an ok comic but I didn’t love it. Why is her maternity hospital in a black hole - is that really the ideal location to be birthing babies? And Skrulls? It all felt so contrived, like Jess can’t just have her baby, she’s also gotta be kicking butt because she’s a superhero. I wasn’t into the forced and
FUN. FUN. FUN.So good. So fun to read. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to anyone who likes Spider-Woman , Super-heroes or a super-hero being pregnant and trying to juggle life and superheoism. Read that shit!
I freaking loved this graphic novel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!First off, I thought the graphics in this book were amazing! And now I need the next one! Soooo, Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew) is preggers! And it's so awesome, so freaking awesome! Okay, I need to quit saying that but I had so much fun with this book. I laughed and I loved the bad arse pregnant super hero. Now, on with the show! Carol (Captain Marvel) has been trying get get Jess to go to the Intergalactic Hospital on her dol...
Great, great, great stuff. I absolutely loved this book and have never read a superhero comicbook like it in over three decades of reading comics. With my personal history, it made for painful reading at times and at one point I had to stop and have a cry but I came back because it was just that good.Highly recommended for the superhero fan who wants something different.
The avenger with the BUTT! I always loved Jessica. She's not only hot but she's badass too. Her costume is also on point, so damn sick. She was a great side character so when I saw she was getting her own series I was pretty excited. Then I saw a baby on the cover and was like HUH!? And then I read it, and guess what? It's pretty good. It starts off little slow. Jess trying to have a baby, gets trapped in a space hospital with Skrulls trying to take over, and I was kind of bored issue 1-2. But i...
I'm absolutely in love with this run. Anyone who knows me knows that Fraction and Aja's Hawkeye is one of my favorite comics of all time, and this feels like a proper spiritual sequel. And that is mostly thanks to Javier Rodriguez's incredible art. His layouts are amazing! So dynamic, so well paced. And not only is his pencil work amazing, but so is his coloring (and Rachelle Rosenberg fills his shoes perfectly from the 3rd issue on). Of course, this wouldn't be possible without a really strong
Jessica Drew. Once a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, once an Avenger, now a mom-to-be. With only a few weeks left before due date, Jess is tired, tired of friends worrying about her, of people kindness and condescending questions, but most of all, she's just so tired of having to give up parts of herself. It's not only coffee, the little daily sacrifices for a healthy pregnancy, or sleep, or her awesome motorcycle, it's leaving behind her superhero days and have to adapt to normal life. But can she really d...
Despite being called Spider-Woman, she is no female carbon copy of everyone's favourite wall-crawler as not only does Jessica Drew possess different powers than Spider-Man but her stories were less about domestic troubles and more in the field of espionage. Although she has been around for four decades, Jessica Drew began her resurgence when Brian Michael Bendis added her to the roster of the New Avengers, which then led her to get her self-titled own limited series again after so long.Having fo...
Jessica drew as a mom is everything to me
5 stars "It's hard to ignore the cantaloupe-size meat monkey dancing on my bladder." - Jessica Drew aka Spider-WomanJavier Rodriguez continues to rock the art in this series. His layouts coupled with Hopeless's dialogue make for a really pleasant reading experience. In case you hadn't heard, or seen, Jessica Drew is pregnant. Trouble still has it's way of finding her and she's not doing much to shy away from it. After a few run ins with Skrulls...One who happens to be the prince that the rebe...
This was so sweet aw. Jessica Drew is pregnant and after bestie Carol's suggestion, Jess goes to an intergalactic hospital but then it gets taken over by Skrulls.I was kinda hesitant to read this because it feels really ick for a woman's pregnancy story done by a bunch of men and while I still feel the ick, it was at least done well.I loved her friendship with Captain Marvel so much, it was literally so sweet & caring and truly the highlight of this for me. Idk how these dudes did it but go off....
