That is a gorgeous piece of art. I'm going to have to look up more of that artist's work.

I love Jessica Drew. She's my favorite Spider-Woman, though I wish her book were launched under different circumstances. Making her book into a Spider-Man-extra title and assigning Land on art duties kind of steer me away from picking this one up. If it's still around a few arcs from now and there's a different artist and story, I'll be adding to my pull list.
There is nothing really wrong with having Jessica Drew as part of Spider-Man's world anymore than the Black Cat. But I feel that the book can work if some of Spider-Man's rogue galleries like the Jackal, Hobgoblin, and Menance are a part of her own, as well as the Swarm:

Question:
Why does Spider-Woman shoot laser beams? Which terrifying species of spider gave her laser hands? How/Why was this done in story? How/Why was it done OUT of story? Why did her creator decide, "You know what this spider hero needs? Laser beams!". It feels so random to me.
Like, enhance agility, strength, ability to stick to stuff, all classic spidery/insect powers. The pheromone thing... I guess that could be a bug thing? Some bugs do stuff like that to communicate/control. The lasers though... I'm lost, I don't get it.
Oh, and sometimes she flies?

She does not shoot laser beams. Also, her venom blasts are totally a misnomer. There's no toxins, no venom. They're bioelectric. The closest analog is probably an electric eel. As to what this has to do with spiders... I got nothin'
Also, she can't fly. The only version that could actually fly was the Skrull Queen. I guess the Skrulls felt she needed a bit of an oomph! RealJessica can only glide on air currents - and there are species of spiders that can do this!
Spider-Woman has always been able to fly and shoot bio-electric blasts. Whether it makes sense or not, I like her unique powers.
Spider Woman has always been a favorite character of mine. I believe somewhere in the basement is a complete run of her first '70s series.
I think she would make an excellent choice to show up in the Avengers movie(s), which if she is portrayed well, would only add to her new comic books sales potential.
I'm just looking forward to the series.
Maybe the bioelectric blasts are kinda like a "ranged spider-bite". Look at marvel wikia in the power section of Jessica Drew.
