I guess it's just hard not to connect her being Madame Web to the writing issues, she's usually the most clunky and uninteresting thing in Spider-Man stories where she shows up (though I guess that's usually what Madame Web is to people except when she's voiced by Joan Lee and is straight up unlikable ).

Nice to see Jess and Julia interacting and Julia acting more like well Julia.
Agreed.
Marc Gruenwald brought Spider-Woman back in a Sensational Spider-Man Annual
It was there she first met Julia. Shadowoman (Sepulchre) and Lindsay were also involved. Shadowoman took Jessica’s costume before adapting her own and she was also linked to Magnus.

Was the fact that Jillian was just wearing a recolored version of Jessica's costume ever actually acknowledged on panel? It felt like the creative team just missed the design and recycled it for us to exercise of willing disbelief.

Yikes! Carol's new series (how many series has she had this century?!) looks like a failure, but Jess's isn't doing much better. I think SW need a better story to launch it. Frankly, I never gave a crap about her kid as I thought the writer who came up with the pregnancy story was smoking to much ganja.
I do remember, however, that the first issue of Karla Pacheco/Pete Perez' Spider-Woman relaunch ranked at # 1 on the March 2020 Top Selling lists. So, regardless of how many variants or whatnot, clearly Marvel put marketing effort behind the book and there was audience interest. But this time...what the eff happened? Not even in the top fifty??
ETA: not gonna lie: I never cared for Jessica having a kid or for the insistently funny voice that they gave her as of late. No, I am not one of those who hate comedy in comic books, but I always loved that Jessica was as different from Peter Parker as night and day (just like I love She-Hulk for being funny and vivacious and so different from Hulk, I loved Spider-Woman for being moody, sullen-ish, and darker, hence distinct from Spider-man). Nowadays, Jessica seems like a product from the MCU assembly line (and I DO NOT hate the MCU assembly line), all full of quips, pop culture winks, and humor that seems out of place.
