Are you looking forward to the new Spider-Woman Series?

[superman1984]

Are you looking forward to the New Series by Bendis and Maleev??

Yes or No?? You decide!

[milhouse123321]

I chose maybe, as Im still undecided, but I think I'll give it a miss and pick up the Ms Marvel solo series instead, as I really can't afford both.
Oh well..

[Violently Apathetic]

Nope. Generally I like to give characters/books a chance, but I think I'll be skipping this one...

[bodie_3_7_ci5]

I can't wait. Love Spider-woman.

[ChildOfTheDarkholde]

Absolutely.
Spider-Woman and Moon Knight are my two most anticipated books of 2006.

[TimmyTony]

Yes, looking forward to it.

[Andromeda_Daxamite]

Nope. Spider Woman is okay. But I really don't care. Ms. Marvel is where it's at. *Waits for the throngs of Ms. Marvel fans that will one day join her as her art starts surging all over the place.* Boy do I just love the fickle and easy to please. Sigh.

[The Wayner]

Yep, I'm looking forward to it.

[Annie get your Rum]

Can't wait.
Spider-Woman by Bendis?
I am sold already.

[The Mirrorball Man]

No. I like her costume, but the character does nothing for me.

[Eumenide No 2]

Love her costume, her attitude and so far all of her appearances.
That would be a Yes.

[abyss]

I can't wait for this series. I was sold once Bendis/Maleev were doing it they did a truely ground breaking run on Daredevil, and I loved Bendis rendition of Jessica Drew when she appeared in Alias.

[DDM]

I like Spider-Woman I, Jessica Drew; however, due to Brian Michael Bendis horrid story decompression stories, I'm not buying the book.

[SalazarSleaze2]

Yeah, this looks like it will rock hard.

[EmmettHULK]

I like Spider-Woman I, Jessica Drew; however, due to Brian Michael Bendis horrid story decompression stories, I'm not buying the book.

I am getting it because it's Bendis writing it. (but also because I like Jessica Drew)

[Crash-Man]

I like Spider-Woman I, Jessica Drew; however, due to Brian Michael Bendis horrid story decompression stories, I'm not buying the book.


Seconded.


She needs a new name too.

[Will.S]

Yep, looking very forward to this since for one thing it's the same awesome DD team and two Spider-Woman is a cool character that Bendis has brought to the spotlight once again. The premise is also really good since it'll be sort of a hybrif of a spy/S.H.I.E.L.D. book.

[X-Men Forever]

Big fat NO! Although if Frank Cho was the artist and it was a MAX title, I would problably buy it. Yes, I'm that shallow.

[Kaskratiski]

A resounding YES to this.
A great character, and an award-winning, best-selling creative team...definitely
buying this book.

[Babylon23]

I'm looking forward to buying the trades when they come out. I can't stand reading decompressed Bendis books on a monthly basis. By picking up the trades, at least I know something will eventually happen without having to wait months for the eventual payoff.

Maleev is an excellent artist.

[Citizen V]

I like Spider-Woman I, Jessica Drew; however, due to Brian Michael Bendis horrid story decompression stories, I'm not buying the book.

That`s a good point.Everyone knows that Drew is Bendis`s facination.Personally,its good that Spider-Woman is getting new exposure.But i think that she is written wrong,and is different from how she was portrayed before Bendis took her.

As for the book,i voted for maybe.If Bendis is writing it,i wont buy it.If someone else is..i will most likely buy it.

[ChildOfTheDarkholde]

But i think that she is written wrong,and is different from how she was portrayed before Bendis took her.



How exactly?
Just wondering...cuz I think she is actually being written spot-on...

[geewaiho]

a BIG FAT YES!!! ive been waiting for over a decade (only read SW early 90's) for an ongoing spiderwoman. Also like to see how she fares with her new enhanced powers. We have only seen a glimpse of what she can achieve in NA and im sure theres more to come. Would be cool for bendis to take advantage of her immunisation powers, physical abilities alot more. I love how bendis has changed her phermone powers to somthing she can concously control and use to her advantage. But then maybe this has been done before if i am not wrong???.

[kcekada]

I'm not voting because, while I am looking forward to a new Spider-Woman title, I'm a bit hesitant about the creative team. Maleev's style is a bit too grim and gritty of late in Daredevil. Hopefully, we will see a different approach in SW.

[Maximum_Carnage]

I like Spider-Woman and everything, but what makes her Spider-Woman? I can't say I've actually seen her do anything...spidery. Spider-Man has webbing at least. And can crawl on walls and the ceiling.

What are Spider-Woman's powers other than the plasma (?) blasts? Which by the way, I don't see any spiders shooting out at prey.

[ChildOfTheDarkholde]

Spider-Woman has venom-blasts.
They are basically her body's powerful spider-venom discharged in bio-electrical form.
She can stick to walls just like Spidey (in fact the cover to New Avengers # 15 has her stuck to the ceiling), and she has the proportionate strength of a spider, plus the enhanced speed and reflexes that some spider-possess (while still in her mother's womb, Jessica's body was irradiated with a laser-beam that carried the DNA traits of several arachnids, including the Latrodectus Wundagore.
Jessica also has an enhanced sense of hearing (some spiders possess the ability to "feel" the vibrational changes in the air around them, which enables them to assess their surroundings better and "listen" to sounds more keenly), and she possesses pheromones that atract and/or repel, based on several still-undeterminate factors.

[Dark Soul # 7]

I don´t like or dislike the character. She just doesn´t intrest me. So I´m not gonna buy it.

[Expletive Deleted]

I like Bendis and Maleev, but Spider-Woman does nothing for me.

I'll probably pick up the first issue or two, but I wouldn't say I'm really excited about it or anything.

Are you sure about the strength thing? That would make her equally as strong as Spider-man...and I don't think thats accurate at all.

[ChildOfTheDarkholde]

What is so wrong about that?
It's always been established that Jessica's strength is proportionate to a spider's...
I don't see how that is far-fetched...

[Jessica Drew]

Definitely looking forward to it. Spider-Woman has always been one of my favorite characters, and I think Maleev is fantastic. Bendis is...well, again, Maleev is fantastic....

[Spiderchick1974]

Yes, I am looking forward to the book!

[Mia]

Absolutely. I love Bendis! The man made me fall in love with Daredevil ( a character I previously hated). Now that he's left, I will have to get indulge my Bendis fix through another book.


Also, with Bendis I get the impression that when his heart is in something then what he puts out is really, really good.

I also like his portrayal of Jessica Drew. She reminds me of the old portrayal of Huntress (Dixon/Rucka version) which I like alot.

So as everything seems to be comming up roses, I'm a shoe in for this book.

[TimmyTony]

She reminds me of that too!

[milly3cat]

Maleev is an excellent artist.

I disagree buying something in trade is risky. I buy one issue to see if I like it, but if you get a trade you pay full price. ( AUST $25 - $30 ).

[kcekada]

What is so wrong about that?
It's always been established that Jessica's strength is proportionate to a spider's...
I don't see how that is far-fetched...

Yeah, she's definitely got the propotionate spider strength. There was a one-page description of her powers back in her first series. I believe Child covered these all accurately. I believe one illustration showed Spider-Woman holding a huge boulder on her back.

When Spider-Woman and Spider-Man first met, her powers were waning -- due to the drug she was taking to supress her pheromones. Perhaps that is why she was ranked in a lower strength scale than Spider-Man back in that infamous Spider-Man annual that ranked all of the super strong Marvel heroes.

Being that she and Spidey are pretty close in size, there strengths must be about the same.

[EmmettHULK]

Jessica also has an immunity to non-corrosive toxins, venoms and certain forms of radiation, plus she can fly , not glide, after Hydra messed around with her waning powers...

[Bashful Benjamin]

I´ll probably get it, cos it´s the only chance to see more of Bendis/Maleev after the just incredlible DD-run is finished. I don´t care much for Jessica Drew, but we´ll see....

[Graham Vingoe]

Most definitely looking forward to this.I've grown to like Jessica a lot more than I did the first time round when I used to read her series sporadically. Bendis and Maleev will take it to a newer, higher level of interest.

[Crimson]

What is so wrong about that?
It's always been established that Jessica's strength is proportionate to a spider's...
I don't see how that is far-fetched...

Yeah... so seeing as generally women have weaker upper body strength (don't anyone yell at me, it's true) proportionally she'd most likely be slighty weaker then Spider-Man. Plus she's a little bit smaller as well.

She wouldn't be far off though.

[The Shadow]

I'm in the "YES" camp as well.

[Crimson]

I'm in the "YES" camp as well.

Oh yeah... I forgot to say, I voted yes too.

If the first arc impresses me most likely I'll order a subscription.

[TheMuertoCorpse]

Put me on the "Yes, I am looking forward to the title" list.

[Young Avenger]

Reading the Origin mini got me excited for the ongoing. Sadly, I don't have enough money to add the series to my list. :(

[Nick Kal]

I cannot wait to buy this book. Spider-Woman is awesome.

[SabrinaMorrell]

Yes, I am waiting for this too.
Great creative team.
Cool, underrated character, and an interesting premise.
Sure, I am looking forward to it.

[Babylon23]

I disagree buying something in trade is risky. I buy one issue to see if I like it, but if you get a trade you pay full price. ( AUST $25 - $30 ).

That makes sense, especially for project your unsure about. However, I've enjoyed Bendis and Maleev on Daredevil, so I'm interested in reading the book. I'm also confident that the book will be written in Bendis' usual decompressed style. Were I to buy individual issues, they'd be sitting in a box until the story was finished anyway. Buying the trade makes more sense to me in regards to this particular title.

[Flight]

After finishing the Daredevil series, I think I owe it to Bendis and Maleev to pick this up.
I don't much care for the character but I don't care for The Thing either and I'm enjoying that book.
Its all about the creative team.

[Lex]

None of the poll options fit my interest level. I'm definately interested in Spider-Woman, even if it is written by Bendis, but not HUGELY excited for it. I'll definately buy the first trade (plus the Spider-Woman: Origin trade) and then decide where I go from there.

[Matthoggua]

I like Spider-Woman, and am just now getting back into Marvel after a long absence - and thus, have not read the Bendis yet. So this will be my way of checking him out.

Oh, and ChildOfTheDarkholde (sp?) - found it!

[Satana Hellstrom]

Looking forward to it.

[Uncensored]

I'm sold on the book because it's Bendis and Maleev.

[Avalanche]

Spider-Woman has always been an all around awesome character, so I'm willing to give anything with her a shot.

[BlackKnight]

I will not be buying this book, Spider-woman does not do a lot for me (unless cho is drawing her :) ) and bendis's writing style drives me crazy, with how slow it moves.

[Billy Parker]

Spider-Woman, soooo hot, want to touch the hiney!

[Babylon23]

Having just read 1-2 of SW: Origin, I have to say, my enthusiasm for this title has increased. Origin isn't anywhere near as slow and decompressed as most Bendis stories. If he can keep up the Origin pace in the ongoing, it should be a good read.

[Young Avenger]

I will not be buying this book, Spider-woman does not do a lot for me (unless cho is drawing her :) ) and bendis's writing style drives me crazy, with how slow it moves.

Have you read Spider-Woman: Origin? It's written by Bendis and it's not decompressed or slow. Jessica is being trained by Taskmaster, having her memories altered, and already in costume and all of this happened in issue 2! Bendis can tell fast paced stories.

[Tennoarashi]

If this has the same pace as Origin, then DEFINITELY. Spider-Woman is awesome, and I kind of wanted to see her become friends with Storm again.

[SalazarSleaze2]

I agree...Bendis has a hit-and-miss record in terms of so-called "decompression", but Origin is definitely a fast-paced book.

I hope the ongoing tells stories as briskly and action-packed as the mini (but I also know that I will enjoy Bendis' usual character-driven tales)

[SybaritaCybernetico]

If this has the same pace as Origin, then DEFINITELY.

I hope so.
Origin's pacing is miles ahead of Bendis' work in his other books.
Looking forward to this book, and keeping my fingers crossed it's as action-filled as the mini.

[ChildOfTheDarkholde]

I'm starting to get impatient...this book was supposed to come out in 2006, and then 2007, but still no solicits, no preview art, no nothing...I hope the creative team hasn't changed their minds...

[agrich]

It's drawn by Maleev, so yes.

If it weren't drawn by Maleev, I wouldn't even glance at the thing.

The Spider-woman "Origin" series seared my eyes it was so terrible. I can't fathom what people liked about that mess.

[mattbib]

Not sure exactly why the thread-starter had his poll close after two weeks, but I went back and reopened it.

[Jack Flash]

i'll be onboard in trades. I wish this was about Arachne though. I am kinda meh about Jessica lately. but with Maleev and Bendis, it's a guaranteed try out the first trade buy.

[stuccoyoutuBE]

Absolutely , a big, fat, resoundingly loud YES.
The most anticipated book of this year for me.

[hugh45]

Only if they bring back the original Spider-Woman,Jessica Drew,I felt
noone has really done her any justice.

[TimmyTony]

That's who they brought back.
Julia Carpenter, the former Spider-Woman 2, now Arachne, is the one we are seeing in Ms.Marvel, it's Jessica Drew who's getting a new ongoing.

[Kirk G]

No, I am not.

[Xothermic]

Can't say that I am. Spider-Woman just isn't that interesting!

[Mariah]

I kinda wish Chuck Austen was drawing this book. I loved his and Bendis' Elektra run they had.

[Deus ex Chris]

If this has the same pace as Origin, then DEFINITELY. Spider-Woman is awesome, and I kind of wanted to see her become friends with Storm again.
That'd be cool. I'd actually like to see Jessica, Ms. Marvel, and Storm form a circle of friends. Jess and Carol as well as Carol and Storm had friendships once upon a time, and I'd like to see it again.

[Killer Bee]

Do we really need another title starting with the pretext "Spider" in it?

[tangentman]

Do we really need another title starting with the pretext "Spider" in it?

If it's a prefix that stars Jessica Drew, then, I say "Yes"! :D She's not part of Peter Parker's "family", she's an independent character.

[mrc1214]

Ill give the book a try. Im pretty sure ill like it cause I like Spider Woman and Maleev is drawing it so im really looking foward to that.

By the way has a date been released on when this is coming out??

[Mariah]

Do we really need another title starting with the pretext "Spider" in it?
We could alleviate that, by getting rid of 1 or 2 of Pete's books.

[mushroom2703]

The big difference here is there is a specific need for this title - Bendis has told us there are actual plots and a real driving concept to justify this book's exist - thats hardly the case for all the spider-books. So yes, another book with spider in it is necessary in my opinion. That, and spider-women origin was pretty sweet, enough to warrant me buying an ongoing.

Ditto here.

I am so relieved now that I read Bendis' words about the reason for the book's delay, it clearly shows that it will have a real focus and purpose, and it will be all the better for it.

[Gamma Burst]

Yes,i'll be getting it.

[InigoMontoya]

I really love Bendis and Maleevs stuff on Daredevil and the issue of Avengers. Plus, one of the best CW issue of NA is the spider-woman one, I really enjoy all the SHIELD spy stuff.

[Eric_Carnaby]

Good lord, I am getting sick of waiting for this title...

[Sebastos]

Yes, I look forward to it.
