Marvel Announces SPIDER WOMEN #1
Marvel's three Spider-Women are getting their own crossover, appropriately titled Spider-Women. Starting in issue #1, the trio of Silk, Spider-Gwen, and Spider-Woman will be forced to work together to survive and get back to their own worlds, but according to Jason Latour (writer of Spider-Gwen), that isn't going to be so easy at first.
“I think what’s intriguing about the three of them is that they’re really just getting to know one another. But as far as the initial dynamic—Jessica is definitely the big sister who’s a little frustrated by how much these girls don’t know about being superheroes.”
In her solo book, Jessica Drew is a tad on the impatient side, and doesn't have a great deal of patience for people who don't know what they are doing (as her adventures with The Porcupine have shown us), so this makes sense. I'm really intrigued to see how Gwen and Silk interact with her, especially Silk, since that is the character I am least familiar with. Also of note is how all three writers are involved: Robbie Thompson of Silk, Dennis Hopeless of Spider-Woman, and Jason Latour of Spider-Gwen. Having all three involved should help keep the characters consistent with what readers and followers of their solo books are used to.
With Spider-Man getting so much focus lately, I'm glad Marvel is also exploring these other corners of the Spider-Man family, and isn't just leaving them by the wayside.
Spider-Women #1 releases next year.
