Which means that those vague promises Bendis made of him and the artist re-taking the reins of a Spider-Woman solo book in the future are definitile squashed. Maleev said that doing Spider-Woman was too daunting and time-consuming (aren't all art tasks of his anyway??) and Bendis said that he would not do SW without MK. So why not go back to her instead of this? Spider-Woman's big comeback, 5 years in the making, ended up a huge fiasco and the biggest symbolic cocktease for SW fans ever. I truly hope the MK book tanks. --Previous Message-- : I'd have to add that I feel both Bendis and : Marvel screwed things up. : : Bendis claims he wanted to bring her : back...But instead of actually having her : return, he had a skrull queen pose as her : the entire time "Jessica" joined : and acted as an Avenger. : : He then produced the (IMHO)horrible : "retcon origin" of Spider-Woman : mini-series. He also continually put : Spider-Woman's solo series off (what was it, : almost two years?)...Further dulling fan's : interest in the project. : : Then we got the surprise "reveal" : of Jessica not being Jessica...Angering : quite a few fans, I believe. I personally : felt cheated, having bought many of the : first few issues of those Avengers stories, : because I believed Jessica had returned to : the life of super-heroing (I dropped the New : Avengers around #20 or so, because I lost : interest and really didn't like how he was : handling her character). : : He gave us a rushed and very lame actual : return for Jessica (and many other heroes) : at the end of the badly-written and : plot-hole-ridden "Secret : Invasion"...I was not impressed. : : When he finally does her solo series, it too : is a let-down...IMHO, it was boring as heck. : : I think Bendis has handled the Spider-Woman : really, really badly and Marvel let him do : it. : : This is all just my opinion and how I feel : about what has been done to the : character...I know some fans may feel the : same or similar to me...But I certainly : don't speak for every fan. : : Some female characters have been empowered : to be very strong and made great : returns...Like in some ways, Ms Marvel. But : I feel they really screwed up in bringing : Jessica back. : : --Previous Message-- : I just wanna say that Marvel really fu**** : this up, big time. So many years of hype : only, only to give us the biggest c*cktease : ever, as far as Spider-Woman fans. And now, : she s back to being a barely visible cameo : in the Avengers book. They couldn't even : use her in the recent GRIM HUNT storyline, : which is surprising, because it dealt with : the Kravinoff family hunting down : spider-heroes, and Jessica is the one that : has a semi-supernatural background... : Damn, Marvel, you suck : : :
