Spider-Woman Vol. 7 #6

Released 18th November 2020

Written by Karla Pacheco

Drawn by Pere Perez

Editor(s) Jake Thomas, Lindsay Cohick

SYNOPSIS (by Wiki):

Due to her treatment with Marchand Serums being temporary fixes, an ailing Jessica (Spider-Woman) is aided by Carol (Captain Marvel) during a raid on the moon of Counter-Earth in search of Herbert Wyndham, the High Evolutionary, the only other person with the knowledge to possibly cure Jessica. Finding an old computer, a partial translation leads the duo to "Scav City" in search of Sphinxor; all while Carol repeatedly offers her own resources to help, which Jess repeatedly refuses. Entering the Scav City pub, Carol updates Jess on the blood tests Linda took of her, while Jessica physically intimidates people in an attempt to gain more information about the location of Sphinxor. After figuring out where he is and attaining coordinates to set a course to, Tony Stark calls Jessica to check in to check on his spaceship, as Jess previously promised to "probably" not blow it up. However, at that same time, Counter-Earth space defenses shoot the ship down. Carol flies Jessica down to a temple where they are greeted by its keepers, who reveal that the High Evolutionary previously returned to the temple by their summons but then departed to parts unknown immediately after. After Carol asks for a spacecraft, Jess grows sickly and demands more formula from a defiant Carol. The two return to Earth after Carol is called back for an imminent event, forcing an agitated Jess to part ways and find people with connections to clone-makers and serum developers— the likely contacts for Wyndham to collaborate with. Going slightly off-world, Jess finds a possible new lead to Wyndham, but after ignoring another call from Carol she looks up into the sky to see dragons, realizing that the threat the Avengers were facing had begun.

Spider-Woman Vol. 7 #5

Released 21st October 2020

Written by Karla Pacheco

Drawn by Pere Perez

Colours by Frank D'Armata

Letters by VC's Travis Lanham

Editor(s) Jake Thomas, Lindsay Cohick

SYNOPSIS (by Wiki & Spider-Baby Rick):

Despite Miriam throwing Jess into the line of fire, Michael saves Jess from Miriam's crazed actions. As they flee, Miriam's body degenerates to reveal herself as a clone, created after waiting for Jess to wake up for years by way of the High Evolutionary's aid. This Miriam lost her hope for Jess upon her daughter's waking up and serving Hydra, now blaming Jess for Rebecca's condition. As Miriam goes mad, Octavia attacks and cryptically notes her associates while trapping the Drew women outside the lab, claiming all the research as she "takes back what's hers." Outside the lab, Miriam continues to attack Jess and reveals the truth about the Spider formula: more doses breed strength, but also increases apathetic aggression.

Michael distracts Miriam long enough to steal a vial of formula, and helps Jess by dosing her to boost her power. As Miriam and Jess battle in a berserker brawl, Octavia takes Rebecca as the last pure sample of the research she took. Miriam tells Jess to take Michael & Rebecca to evacuate, warning her about "the others" that will settle the unfinished business with her. Miriam tackles Octavia, which releases Rebecca, and takes the villain into a secure lab to detonate the facility once her family escapes the vicinity; seemingly killing Octavia and destroying the research.

Escaping the rubble to the helipad, Jess realizes that when they first arrived, Michael alluded to Hydra taking Miriam's life, and knowing the Miriam on Wundagore was a clone in the first place. Michael confesses to knowing she was a clone, desperate to get help for Rebecca's condition. As they both agree on finding a cure for Rebecca, Jess instead plans on finding it her own way and warns Michael about hiding any more "family secrets." Jess bids farewell to Rebecca as she pilots a second helicopter, promising herself to find a cure for the sake of her own family and friends.

In the second story, Jessica trains in a gym, destroying the equipment with her newfound serum strength. She is committed to finding answers and a cure before it kills her and Rebecca. Later, she packs a bag while talking to Roger over video chat about what happened at Wundagore, and says she's going to keep using the new suit because of its healing properties. Jessica tells Roger and Gerry that she'll come back when it's over, and Roger asks her if she really has to do it alone.

Jessica dons her street level Spider-Woman outfit and uncovers her motorcycle while thinking that maybe she doesn't have to do this one alone. She meets her best friend, Captain Marvel, and they plan to go into space, chasing the last known location of the High Evolutionary.

Spider-Woman Vol. 7 #4

Released 23rd September 2020

Written by Karla Pacheco

Drawn by Pere Perez

Colours by Frank D'Armata

Letters by VC's Travis Lanham

Editor(s) Jake Thomas, Lindsay Cohick

SYNOPSIS (by Spider-Baby Rick):

Having reached Wundagore and reunited with her mother after years of thinking her dead, Jessica Drew listens to Miriam Drew's story about how she is alive. Jessica's father had used Jessica as an experiment and given her away as a weapon, so Miriam knew she had to save herself. Using a cloned body, Miriam faked her death and went into hiding to protect her not yet born second child, Michael. She entrusted Michael to a wealthy cousin, who raised him and nurtured his genius, leading to the fortune he has today. It wasn't safe for her to return for Jessica, so she remained in hiding.

When Rebecca's cells started to atrophy, displaying a similar problem to Jessica when she was young, Miriam and Michael started trying to reproduce the serum that saved Jessica's life in order to save Rebecca. With the spider stolen from Octavia Vermis and the lab at their disposal, they have everything they need to save both Jessica and Rebecca's lives. When Jessica reminds them that her son is included in that reckoning, she learns that Gerry is likely going to be safe from this disease, as it seems to only affect women.

Jessica also discovers that her mother is responsible for her new black suit, which has been secretly monitoring her vital signs. With all these revelations and lies, Jessica throws a bit of a tantrum and tears her suit, only to be interrupted by a fleet of helicopters carrying none other than Octavia Vermis and dozens of armed soldiers.

Miriam and Jessica defend Wundagore against Octavia using the base's missile defenses while Michael prepares for a ground battle. Jessica joins Michael and even Rebecca for this assault, riding animal hybrids into combat against Octavia's forces. A battle ensues, during which Jessica discovers that the soldiers are all robots. When Octavia joins the combat, she also has Miriam's missile defense tower shot down, forcing Jessica, Michael, and Rebecca to retreat inside.

They discover Miriam is alive, but they have barely any time to regroup or celebrate as Octavia kicks down the reinforced doors protecting them. She demands the research Miriam has access to, claiming it has power over life and death, and hits Miriam when she refuses. When Jessica places herself between Octavia and her family to protect them against a new assault, Miriam shoves Jessica into the path of danger, yelling that she's the one Octavia wants. Jessica stares in betrayed horror as a wave of bullets flies at her.

Seren - 5/5

SYNOPSIS (by Rey):

With the final piece of the puzzle retrieved to synthesize the serum that gave Jessica her powers, Jessica, Michael and Rebecca are accosted at the Marchand research lab by yet another sinister contingent.

One of Marchand's employees, Stephen, is revealed to be the mole responsible for the threats to he and his daughter, but Jessica intervenes and aids the father and daughter in evading the mercenaries out to get them.

Even on the Marchand private jet, they aren't safe from their pursuers and it takes some deft aviating skills from Jessica to thwart the three fighter planes hot on their tail.

They crash land on a mountain only to find themselves in the wilderness fighting strange dino-beasts.

Michael displays some peculiar powers during the melee before the trio defeat the horde and discover they are at Wundagore!

Things go for an even greater spin when Rebecca sees a figure approaching and calls out in recognition.

The figure is Miriam Drew - mother to Jessica and grandmother to Rebecca….making Michael Marchand, Jessica's brother!
