"To know her is to fear her..."
(Hail Hydra!)
And here is a fresh new thread to show a little love for everybody's favorite Spider-Woman, Jessica Drew!
For starters, Spider-Woman played a major role in one of the best one-shot Avengers stories of all time, Avengers Annual #10! The story opened with Jessica saving an unconscious Carol Danvers from a murder attempt by ROGUE! So many important firsts in one story! Not to mention, Jessica made a solid showing of her smarts and skills. A particular favorite was the way she smoothly evaded Mystique's ambush!
I honestly think she has one of the best superhero costumes of all time. Sure it's a bit silver agey in design but she is very recognisable.
Any thoughts on the speculation that Spider Woman will be revealed on the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. tv series, kiddos?
I really, really (really really really really) don't think that's going to happen. I think in the end... Skye is going to turn out to be...
...Skye.
They've taken some creative liberties with characters like Deathlok, which is easy... since there's been multiple Deathloks and he/they isn't a very high profile character anyway. But, I don't see them bringing a (relatively) known and high profile character like Jessica and bringing her in as someone else.
Whoa that'd actually be pretty cool if it did turn out to be Jessica. We can only hope. Love to see her in Avengers 3, that is if Marvel Studios has the rights to her and not Sony
Yay, new Jess thread!
Y'know, this reminds me of, I think, X-men #203 where Rachel fights the Beyonder. In it, Rogue recalls with tears and regret, her assassination attempt on Carol and ruining both of them. However, Jess is in this issue too, seemingly hanging out with the X-men. Since we know that she knows what Rogue did to Carol, what was going through her mind being near her? Today, I would expect hostile civility to the one that tried to kill your BFF, but back then?
As for Skye being Jess....man, that'd be awesome. SHIELD is a fine show but it could take a nod or two from Arrow and actual 'Marvel' up their TV show.
I think that's one of those things I almost have to just write off as careless writing/editing... just failing to connect points A and B. But I also think the closeness between Carol and Jess was sort of established in retrospect. Outside of AA #10... there wasn't any significant interaction between them for years on panel.
... have we ever seen Jessica really react to Rogue regarding Carol?
If Jess were to be on the show, I think I'd prefer if they just introduced her as herself... instead of this weird blending of identity. I'd love to see more comic-based characters, but I'd like to see them actually be themselves.
I could live with Sky as Jessica.

But I'd really love to see Rebecca Hall.
