Once again, Bendis has proven to me that he writes solo titles far, far better than team books. This issue, the depressed Jessica Drew, now languishing in a Madripoor jail after killing a Skrull last issue, is interrogated by one of the detectives. Using her pheromone powers, Jessica gets the guy to fall for her and help her escape. The thing is, she can't shut this power off right away, so she ends up affecting the minds of more than just the cop's. In any case, Jesscia escapes, only to run into more cops. Then, what appears to be a Skrull craft attacks, but Jessica soon thinks it's a SHIELD hovercar when the craft attacks the cops and helps her escape. But the attack against the cops was fatal, and Jessica realizes the truth -- it's a Hydra craft, and when the door opens, out steps the lovely and lethal Ophelia Sarkissian, aka the Viper, whose last line sends chills down Jessica's spine: "Come give Momma a hug."
I definitely can't wait for the reunion of Jessica and the Viper next issue! It's a long time in coming. Bendis supposedly liked SW #42-44, so it looks like he's dealing with the Viper/Jessica familial connection in some manner. I always liked Claremont's idea that Jessica was the Viper's daughter, so I'm glad the matter is being brought up again, at least in some form.
