[QUOTE=responsarbre;3903717]Yeah, I'd be real disappointed if Jessica was shunted off to a Sony-verse movie like Venom and didn't have the potential to interact with any MCU characters.
I've got to say, interacting with Spider-Verse stuff isn't really my favorite thing to see Jessica doing, but I'll certainly take a Christopher Priest team book over her disappearing from comics completely.[/QUOTE]
Agreed. I mean she has popped up her and there - it was Devin Lewis' idea to include her in Venom and Mike Costa liked her so much she included her again. I liked Priest Inhuman run, so I'm intrigued to see what he does with Jess in Spider-Force.
Well Sony has put a Silk movie into production it sounds like, so yeah, I'd be ok with Jess being in the MCU with no powers, so long as they keep what makes her Jess.

[QUOTE=Mike_Murdock;3902588]I hope she does appear in the movie. At a minimum, it'll be an excuse to finally read those original Spider-Woman stories (I have the complete series (in black and white) sitting on my shelf).[/QUOTE]
I own most of her original series -- missing some issues in the late teens and early twenties. I just purchased the MMW featuring her first appearance in Marvel Spotlight, her appearances in Marvel Two-In-One and the first 8 issues of her own series. The character was a bit awkward in the early issues of her own magazine. I don't know if the weirdness of her opponents was a blessing or a curse. Infantino's artwork can be nice at times, but seems a bit dated. I didn't know that Marv Wolfman suggested the change in costume from skipcap to mask with open top -- but the long hair did become her signature. I think her current outfit is okay for investigative work, but I still prefer the original design which really sets her apart from a crowd on the page. The black tights and sleeves with just a bit of red -- a bit too muted for my tastes.
Anyway, it was fun to revisit those stories and seem the improved productions values. I dont' know that we'll ever get to the Claremont/Leiloha period in MMW -- being that there is a lot of crap that falls in between that potential volume and the current one. It it doesn't happen, hopefully we'll see an Epic collection.

Not to be a contrarian, but how anyone can value that Ann Nocenti/Postman run over the Claremont/Leiloha run is beyond me!

Oh. My. Gosh! I will have to have that Pop!

Same. I entered the Funko Lottery. Hope I get in.

I hate that Spider-Woman pop is an exclusive. I need to have it!

[QUOTE=Seren;3884334]You can't guarantee that those characters were available to use. Black cat was showing up in Silk for example, therefore she was most likely unavailable for Spider-Woman.
That said, Black Cat showing up in Silk didn't really help bc Silk lasted only a couple of months after Spider-Woman.
[B]Maybe it would have drummed up readers for a little bit but having more popular characters show up in Spider-Woman isn't a long term solution.
And I don't think Jess has much in common with Peter at all. The less she has to do with him the better[/B]. And Logan was considered dead while her series was being written.
Now Jess Drew not being included in the hunt for Wolverine...I feel like that's a damned shame. She has far more history with Logan than Jessica Jones does,(in my opinion anyway). But Jones was the one included in the story.[/QUOTE]
Friendship development between Jessica and Peter is no different from Deadpool and Spider-Man. Just because there's little history doesn't mean that new pathways can't be established. Nothing is ever constant. Besides that, according to a recent back issues of Silk, Spidey tells Cindy that Jessica contacts him all the time to talk, off panel. I do believe that Spider-Man and Jessica's unique skills and powers could work well together. It's all about the right story to go on with a common enemy like Hobgoblin or Carnage.
I do agree that using popular character is not a long term solution. But the character's role to the story is. Especially if he helps the protagonist in a supporting role that doesn't take anything away from the character. I really wished that Hopeless had used the Black Cat in the pages of Spider-Woman, since that was a meeting that I wanted to see. But Slott had to create Silk, who took the potential thunder away from Jessica Drew's series.

I hope Christopher Priest at least touches on him in Spider-Force.

Anyone know if we’re going to get another Jessica series soon? I’ve been a fan since the Claremont run, and extremely enjoyed the Hopeless runs. Especially the Rodriguez art.

Closest we're getting is Spider-Force and the solicitation for #3 doesn't sound promising for her.
If you want another Jess Series you need to write Marvel At [email]spideyoffice@marvel.com[/email].

What a shame. Hopeless did such a great job with Roger's characterization and now he's all but vanished. I wonder if he and Jess are still together. I thought he would surface somewhere else but that never happened. He would make a great Thunderbolt.
Jess deserves her own mag. Marvel lets titles barely selling 8K continue but Spider-Woman gets cancelled. She was consistent in the 20K plus range for quite awhile. If I remember correctly her lowest sales were in the 12K range.
