Meh. I couldn't care less. Jackpot is one of the many reason I abhor Spidey's new status quo. To take MJ's opening line during her first appearence and make it the name of such a monumentally lame character is dispicable. I had to watch Spider-Man 2 earlier today to remind me why I still have any love for this character his world. This new direction and new characters are making me forget all the more every week.

The new costume reminds me of Daredevils's Armored Suit.

Sweet. Damn you Marvel for likely charging $4 for this. It'll be a pain, but I may just have to get it either way. I'm one of the few vocal people (that I've noticed) who actually love this character and the idea behind her. Also, Boomerang and The Rose? Truly awesome. Those are two Spidey villains I love. I wonder who the Rose is this time? Could it still be that guy from the Bugle from Defalco's last Spidey run?

Well thank god they gave her a new costume that othe thing was horrible. Thats really the only positive thing I can say about Jackpot though. I still dont see any reason to care about her.
The story idea sounds good I like the Rose and Boomerang seems kinda wasted on this lameass Mary Jane red herring. Probraly should have been used in Spider-Mans own book or maybe better yet a Black Cat Miniseries you know a character who can actaully support her own miniseries. I mean really how many people are going to buy this.

Is it just me or does that new Jackpot costume look similar to Batwoman's new costume or even Union Jack over at Britian ?

The lessons of promoting a character so much in a story, then later turned out it was a bad story experience for the reader. Originally Posted by Lintu
