So , far from the glamour of your Graeco-Roman good vs. malefic struggle , in this issue Jessica takes on a security gig from Michael Marchand , whose daughter Rebecca has been receiving kidnapping menace . occupy with mouthy , sexist child ( and also endearingly bring up ponies ) , Jessica ’s frustrations put on aboard a luxury yacht . Like many Sweet XVI , thing go south ready and in a hurry , as a with child yet all feckless banding of kidnappers show up only to determine out they ’re out of their league as Spider - Woman beats them so poorly so that the fib terminate up focusing mostly on her inner dispute over whether or not she should be beating them up so bad .
Pacheco sets out to severalise a tale of a woman who is forced into an unsavory situation by her commitments and duty , and ends up bringing to the fore a sealed vulnerability within the character that is both unexpectedly sorry and tragically relatable . While neverone for the limelight , Spider - Woman does carry with the character asense of unrealized potential , and perhaps this is the metatextual conception that Pacheco is diving into in her wryly philosophical take on the character .
Watching as Jessica contend to keep self - control as the brutality of her actions mount gamy and higher is a fascinating take on the superhero - for - hire yarn , and sardonic though the humor may be , there ’s a clout of decency even in the exorbitance of it all . Even among the over - the - top action , Pacheco and Perez are able to provide a sure quiet indignity that pervades the piece , and it ’s a note that should provide excellent dramatic play for such a storied character .
The event is rounded out by a 2d story , drawn by Paulo Sequiera and Oren Junior , and it ’s inthe quieter , more personal momentsthat Pacheco ’s storytelling shines brightest . That , and a killer attitudefrom a large case , seems to rub some promise off this new title .
