    Exactly! It's like Jessica of the first 30 years and Jess of the last 10 are totally different characters. Not saying that people don't change, or that experiences don't alter character, but it IS kind of weird, given her history.

    I don't think it's weird at all. Give me the current Jess any day of the week.

    Not sure why no one complained about this until Jess was be written by a woman.

    Either way, I prefer Jess as she is now. I'm sorry you don't.
    Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

    That is rather unfair. One of my favorite SW writers was Ann Nocenti. I love Tini’s work. Love Carla’s.

    I don’t see anyone complaining, just discussing Jess’ personality under different writers.

    Has nothing to do with preferences. A character should be written organically. I will say that being kidnapped by the Skrulls is a life-changing experience -- and may have had an influence on her language. I hate, though, when a character is written differently to reflect the writer's whims.

    I don't know when the shop will be opened again. I may have to get a digital copy of SW #1. I'm looking forward to that Wundagore issue -- and the day that Jess trashes her black suit -- it will never grow on me -- because it's a lousy design!

    Hmm.. at that point Shooter was writing --- and look how he trashed Tigra. By the time Stern took over -- Jess was 'dead', but he did bring her back -- albeit without her venom powers -- which was the illogical reason as to why she could no longer be Spider-Woman. She still had other powers like strength and sticking to walls. Despite the great design, Spider-Woman II was never very impressive.

    Ann Nocenti was “story consultant for Avengers #240–241 when Jess was brought back. The story read like it should have been Spider-Woman 51-52 guest starring the Avengers.

    I also found this link but I cannot find the associated podcast that interviews Ann and Karla:

    Glad you like modern Jessica. I probably do, too, as she is more relatable to modern audiences than creepy or confused SW from the first 30 years.
    But that wasn't the point. It was all about changing a long standing character personality without regard to her history. Like when Dr Strange suddenly started to get 'silly, dumbed down and slutty' 10 years ago under Aaron and Fraction.

    You ARE off-base throwing out the "Woman-Card" though. Plenty of people complained when Bendis radically changed Jess' characterization, and a ton were perplexed when Hopeless made her a single Mom, deeply 'against-type'.

    You're right, I was off base and I apologize. But I'm mad because I'm seeing these arguments elsewhere too and a lot people who are making them are Men who are also pissed that Jess isn't in her boobsock outfit anymore and also really support CG. So. Just know where I'm coming from here.

    Sadly, based on the timeframe, this might actually be Veranke, not Jessica proper.

    Oooooops, you're probably right.

    My bad.

    It's cool. I still remember how exciting it was to have Jessica Drew on New Avengers --- then about three or four years later, it turns out she's a Skrull. Bummer.

    I listened to it a couple of weeks ago. I think I commented in this thread. I think I found it via iTunes -- in the podcast store.
